FYI just because your opinion is really dumb and will probably make a lot of people angry doesn't mean it's controversial. Controversy implies that there are others who agree your opinion isn't nonsensical
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs Which, to me, means that absolute freedom will result in less effective freedom for myself and most other people
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs My problem with this is that I can, at least in theory, gain more influence over the treasury in a democratic/proletarian society than I can gain over some random rich dude's supervillain server in a libertarian society
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs If by decentralization you're referring to a lack of a treasury, then what do you call the massive supercomputers handling the transactions? I'll never own one of those. Seems pretty centralized to me
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs If the value is agreed upon by a community, that means a volume of agreement is required to establish the value, which means the currency is centralized
@GramsciFag Prioritizing an arbitrary square of private property over an indefinite number of human lives is pretty much the sickest thing a person can do
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs Finally: if money is decentralized then who's to say it has value, why should I believe them, and how is any of this less crazy than just planning an economy around a human hierarchy of needs
@4everContrarian @PlagueBrought @CoinersTakingLs Also I'm pretty sure the "centralized structure of money" isn't the core reason why a government half-secretly controlled by oil CEOs and funding the largest military on earth would make it difficult to go into renewable energy
