I'd be worried about manipulation of digital currencies assuming they go centralised

2019-09-25 11:44:19 UTC  

the purpose isn't to get the revenue back it's to act as a disincentive

2019-09-25 11:44:45 UTC  

Currency is pretty much entirely digital already.

2019-09-25 11:44:51 UTC  

Technically most multi-national currency is already digitalized

2019-09-25 11:44:51 UTC  

Cash is a holdover.

2019-09-25 11:45:03 UTC  

Scale_e, your visa/mc/amex comment was possibly the most naive thing i've ever seen on the subject

2019-09-25 11:45:24 UTC  

If there’s competition, we’ll be fine.

2019-09-25 11:45:29 UTC  

these corporations are already putting their thumbs on the scale and dictating who is allowed to transact

2019-09-25 11:45:33 UTC  

there won't be

2019-09-25 11:45:36 UTC  

The _if_ is the issue

2019-09-25 11:45:57 UTC  

Facebook is coming out with their currency and its going to be ... interesting

2019-09-25 11:46:07 UTC  

The if is certain. As to whether the if will remain is doubtful

2019-09-25 11:46:14 UTC  

They’re kowtowing to leftists agitators. When they start losing market share because of the shenanigans, the shenanigans will stop.

2019-09-25 11:46:34 UTC  

Potentially. Probably likely, but not in our lifetimes

2019-09-25 11:46:50 UTC  

No, *really* fast.

2019-09-25 11:46:58 UTC  

No. Most certainly not fast.

2019-09-25 11:47:08 UTC  

It is not that easy to bring down the top chunk

2019-09-25 11:47:15 UTC  

There's a damn good reason that leftists are pushing a cashless society

2019-09-25 11:47:15 UTC  

The market isn't responsive enough in the same way democracy isn't or at least both a really slow

2019-09-25 11:47:16 UTC  

Unless you have tanks, jets, and nukes

2019-09-25 11:47:19 UTC  

Fucking wake up already

2019-09-25 11:47:31 UTC  

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

2019-09-25 11:47:53 UTC  

It wouldn't be a moneyless society it'll just be all digital

2019-09-25 11:47:56 UTC  

“Hi! We’re the NRA! And we’re asking all our members to switch from MasterCard to VISA, because MasterCard are a sack of dicks!”

Fkn done, son.

2019-09-25 11:48:08 UTC  

Alright, push for it

2019-09-25 11:48:09 UTC  

The door swings both ways

2019-09-25 11:48:10 UTC  

Tell me how it goes

2019-09-25 11:48:35 UTC  

I'm sure the NRA would _love_ a serious lack of funding

2019-09-25 11:48:49 UTC  

When it starts swinging, the companies will return to “Hey, we just handle money. Fuck all y’all and ur issues.”

2019-09-25 11:48:57 UTC  

They don’t want uncertainty

2019-09-25 11:49:00 UTC  

it's not NRA members in that argument that you'd need to change, it's the entirety of society

2019-09-25 11:49:01 UTC  

Its questionable if certain things should become cultural battlegrounds or not it doesn't incentivise a stable system

2019-09-25 11:49:33 UTC  

It’s happening now, I know it looks gargantuan, but for real. The market will adjust. It always does. Calm ur tits.

2019-09-25 11:49:42 UTC  

Nope

2019-09-25 11:49:54 UTC  

Oh, it surely does. I'll side with you there. Market always adjusts.

2019-09-25 11:49:56 UTC  

There is absolutely no evidence

2019-09-25 11:50:00 UTC  

In favor of the market controllers

2019-09-25 11:50:28 UTC  

Which is rarely in favor of those who have a majority consumership of that market

2019-09-25 11:50:58 UTC  

It’s not just leftists pushing for a cashless society

2019-09-25 11:50:58 UTC  

It’s just how technology goes
