I'll be glad if crypto becomes unviable. It's a nasty, grifting ecologically destructive system designed to make a tiny minority rich.
But I feel really sorry for all the ordinary folks who've gotten pulled into it, hoping to escape the misery of late stage capitalism. Who will give them hope now?

@internetnerdgrl authoritarians!
@bonifartius this is exactly my worry...
@internetnerdgrl just make sure to be on the "correct" side and ride it out! time tested concept π
@bonifartius well the correct side for me would be the anti-aurhoritarian one and that might not allow for riding it out... But that's also a tried and tested method π
@internetnerdgrl guess i'm just too disillusioned. i fear the morally correct side will just lead to ones early demise, at least if voiced openly. if anything, the last years have shown how easy it is for "the civilized democratic west" to fall into authoritarian patterns.
@bonifartius centrists historically are weak to the arguments and tactics of right wing authoritarians for sure. That's why we say socialism or barbarism!
And you're right about the consequences, and I don't know but I hope I'm brave enough for that.
@internetnerdgrl
i don't want socialism, i don't want anyone fucking with my life anymore. i know that this doesn't make the world a better place at large. i know by now that the only thing i can do is to not be an asshole and do small stuff to make things better. every organization magically attracts assholes who are hungry for power, like the various ecological movements and parties.
guess the only thing which doesn't get one instantly put into an internment camp or against a wall are small actions with few people involved.
then, the spooks probably know everything about us, so that ship may already have sailed.
maybe i'm just too much of a doomer ;)
