Very normal freedom loving country as always.
Also critical support for buttcoins in this particular case, I guess.
If the Central Bank is controlled by politicians, it may always be susceptible to outside influence who seek profit, especially AES surrounded by capitalist economies. Blockchain could potentially provide a more transparent and democratic approach.
But I’m not even trying to argue it would necessarily be better, only that as an economic tool cryptocurrency has the ability to be used in ways that could advance socialist goals rather than solely capitalist ones. Which is why I’m objecting to the outright dismissal of it.
Ignoring and mocking cryptocurrency only lets the capitalist shitheads get a head start providing them an outsized influence on how policies are written and technology applied. It isn’t going away in our lifetimes and will likely continue to see massive adoption. By acknowledging this we can engage in more thoughtful critique instead of trying to hand wave it all away with blanket statements and memes
