can you imagine me being too tired to read that entire paragraph but still being extremely interested in it

2018-12-11 12:01:42 UTC  

There's a cartoon version of the whole book.

The French and most of the west EU countries are force fed socialist propaganda for almost a century. So we can dream of educating them now. But if they cut the "economic" crap out of those demands and leave the anti-immigration only, that still would be better than nothing...

2018-12-11 12:17:22 UTC  

They only need 1 demand: denationalise money!

2018-12-11 12:20:39 UTC  

and what? have a "Fed" like private institution to control that?

2018-12-11 12:20:59 UTC  

Literally the opposite of what I am saying.

2018-12-11 12:21:36 UTC  

An institution like the fed can't exist in a free market.

2018-12-11 12:21:48 UTC  

Neither can fractional reserve banking.

2018-12-11 12:22:01 UTC  

which is pretty similar

2018-12-11 12:22:06 UTC  

so "gold" money?

2018-12-11 12:22:10 UTC  

or crypto?

2018-12-11 12:22:57 UTC  

Whatever the market decides.

2018-12-11 12:23:21 UTC  

How do you think money emerged in the first place, government decree?

2018-12-11 12:24:06 UTC  

sure, but and how do you propose to transfer now from gov. controlled money to that of the free market? Reset everything?

2018-12-11 12:24:50 UTC  

Violent revolution seems necessary, the French are halfway there, but chances are they'll fuck it up.

2018-12-11 12:25:19 UTC  

ah... ok, now I see

2018-12-11 12:27:45 UTC  
2018-12-11 12:28:31 UTC  

I don't think the violence is the way. In the end the toughest force will win and in most cases it ends badly... I thought more of like introducing better "money" that can outcompete with the govt. money ... we just need the way to block gov. from meddling with it by legal means

2018-12-11 12:29:58 UTC  

Well, cypto does potentially make violence avoidable, or at least will minimise the extent to which it will be used.

2018-12-11 12:31:44 UTC  

but on the technical side of cryto: it really struggles now to overcome some serious limitations (like the replication of transaction chain). We need better crypto and that's what the smart poeple should focus on now.

2018-12-11 12:32:25 UTC  

Yep, there are even ways to access the internet without an ISP.

2018-12-11 12:33:15 UTC  

Well, without paying an ISP, you get the free rider problem with that.

2018-12-11 12:34:36 UTC  

...in which country?

2018-12-11 12:35:25 UTC  

I haven't tested the tech, and I've only heard a really basic explanation of how it works. Still only used by hackers.

2018-12-11 12:36:00 UTC  

I'm really interested in it 😄

2018-12-11 12:36:16 UTC  

any hints on how to dig deeper on this?

2018-12-11 12:36:16 UTC  

I wouldn't trust it.

2018-12-11 12:36:34 UTC  

I'll try to find where I found it.

2018-12-11 12:38:22 UTC  
2018-12-11 12:38:54 UTC  

There's a link in the description. This is literally all I've heard about it.

2018-12-11 12:39:33 UTC  

Again, I wouldn't trust it. Use at your own risk.

2018-12-11 12:57:56 UTC  

Ah

2018-12-11 12:58:02 UTC  

France, never fucking change.

2018-12-11 13:03:50 UTC  

That's the real yellow vest manifesto right there.

2018-12-11 13:42:18 UTC  

@royaltm not only that article is shit, it is from April

2018-12-11 13:42:57 UTC  

Crypto is alive and well. We are just in a buy cycle
