    What a dumb take. You don’t have to go anti-technology in order to be anti-capitalist. The technology itself is not the problem, it’s the capitalist capture that’s the problem. You don’t have to throw the baby with bathwater.

      Problem is I don’t see a baby whatsoever…

      People have looked at it from all sorts of directions and tried to propose use cases but none have come up with any particular use for this concept that isn’t just as well or better served by a different approach.

      Without the crypto-bros, sure, no one would be especially ‘anti-blockchain’ and it wouldn’t have the negative impacts it does today, it just would be a forgotten concept that didn’t go anywhere.

        This is literally the fault of the banks and billionaires controlling them. This is exactly what they want you to believe.

        They’d go bankrupt if people started keeping their money on a blockchain and they will do anything possible to prevent that and push the propaganda in the oop post.

        While it’s partially true, banks and billionaires are much more toxic to this planet and people.

          So what are the good uses for this tech then? That was the main point you disagreed with but didn’t provide ant examples

            Read other comments, there are plenty. I’m lazy to parrot what was already said by others.
