“I don’t know anything about Bitcoin but love having baseless opinions on it.”
Cool story.
Y'all are still funding crime by using crypto.
Y'all are still attacking the environment.
Y'all are still rubes buying an invisible product whose value can be turned off at will.
But you really need to believe that you're smart and cool for being grifted by techbrofascists.

If Bitcoin is disqualified because Trump likes it, should we drop email, the internet and electricity too? I’m pretty sure he uses those daily.
It’s open and permission-less technology, folks.
People who we don’t like will use it, as well as people who depend on it and need it.

Detaching Bitcoin from oligarchy narratives is how we get progressives on board.
Too many lump Bitcoin into the oligarchy, dark crypto money, trump crypto corruption bucket.
Couldn’t be further from the truth - Bitcoin is the people’s money.

Today, governments can see who buys what, who pays whom, and who donates to which cause. But they cannot easily trace or confiscate Bitcoin. The digital currency offers a lifeline to democratic movements operating in the most repressive places.

Friendly reminder: Bitcoin miners don’t compete with households for power. They go where no one else will—soaking up stranded wind, solar, and hydro that would otherwise go unused. This is a report with new data which contradicts headlines most people are used to.

The vast majority of negative media coverage about Bitcoin’s environmental impact came from a single debunked source, amazingly. See this analysis by Daniel Batten:

Folks here are saying that “bitcoin is bad because it’s used for money laundering”.
So, currencies used for money laundering are bad, and should be avoided at all costs. Got it.
Here’s the facts; for clarity, bitcoin is the column on the right 😉

Nations "borrow" purchasing power from their people to fund countless things ranging from innovation/security, to waging endless wars and expanding power
The wealthy in these nations hold assets that gain value over time, while the impoverished swim against an increased current of inflating prices

I’m not trying to convince anyone to buy bitcoin. In fact, for arrogant critics, smug in their dogmatic faith in a broken economic paradigm, I’m happy that they remain sidelined while Bitcoin grows. I just want to set the record straight.
Here’s the differences between a pyramid scheme and Bitcoin.

There's good news. A new academic book, Resistance Money, has compiled over twenty of the most important objections to bitcoin and can bring anyone up to speed on the latest evidence, and the best replies to those objections. Bonus: it's fun reading too!
Resistance Money
Bitcoin is resistance money, empowering its users to resist authoritarians, inflation, surveillance, censorship, and financial exclusion.

Our currency hasn’t been backed by gold since 1972. Bitcoin, however, is backed by the energy used to secure it and the thousands of nodes running around the world.

Many bitcoin critics seem unaware that they're entering a mature debate, with extensive back-and-forth already in place. When we're already years deep in the empirical and theoretical evidence, outsiders who simply repeat the opening moves aren't going to get very far.

It’s a good time to be watching The Big Short.
Paradigms can shift. Central banks can fail, in-fact they fail all the time outside of a few countries.
Stop doubting technology, start doubting leaders with corrupt incentives.
Maybe Western luxury is the bubble.
