The Left does NOT hate crypto
The Left does NOT hate crypto
Scroll through the social media platforms that crypto enthusiasts and think bois like to post and you’ll get the idea pretty quickly that a whole lot of them think that the Left is fundamentally opposed to cryptocurrency and its use and the only way to protect crypto from being totally destroyed from the hammer of communism is to vote for Donald Trump. Not necessarily because they like him, but because of the danger that democrats pose to our tokens.
But this is a ridiculous sentiment when you actually look closely at the evidence of how the actual left (not Elizabeth Warren) has responded to crypto and how conservatives are very often explicitly against the ethos and values of crypto.

    Regarding stablecoins for currencies other than the USD, I'm surprised that there hasn't been more interest in coins pegged to the Swiss Franc. (DCHF got some attention for a little while, but that's about it.) Switzerland has a reputation for being economically conservative, and the Swiss Franc has retained its value very well when compared against other major currencies.

    The tragedy of the socialist movement is that it lacks vision, it’s very materialistic and that I suspect leads to its break down as people are constantly looking outward for something better and not reflecting inward and all we have is something monotone and soulless. One there is soul, two beauty is important for the soul, three we’re a lot richer when we come to acknowledge the magic that is all around and within.

    Have experienced some "mystical moments" in my life, which seemed like contact with god. A friend I made later popped that balloon, with, "It's brain chems." lol One of the most spiritual moments I had was singing the anthem at St Andrew's with my fellow Birmingham City fans. Might be brain chems but it feels bloody great! lol Nonsense aside, thanks for the interesting conversation. I used to be what I now recognise as a deist, having read about the "perennial philosophy" and comparative mythology/religion. Kind of miss the concept of everything being interconnected.

    I agree socialism is useless without an overriding sense of human compassion and empathy, it won't work if you try to force people to care for each other. It has to be organic. I don't regard that as spirituality however, which seeks to transcend human experience. Important discussion all the same

      Yes I agree. The problem is majority of people cannot perpetually hold that equal care for others without religions. It’s such a co start I’m human evolution allowing us to care for each other and give us reason to fight for survival and procreate as much as we did. Many modern people have transcended the need for belief in the divine to be successful but we’re in between that evolution and majority still do
