Seriously dudes, now's the time.

2018-12-07 14:41:12 UTC  

Sargon was taken out for no reason other than that he was effectively undermining the mainstream narrative, and because he *isn't* an extremist that they can use as a pantomime bad guy.

2018-12-07 14:41:33 UTC  

That's what people have to realise.

2018-12-07 14:42:00 UTC  

And Tim Pool is probably only a little further down that path, even if he avoids using certain words.

2018-12-07 14:42:51 UTC  

Because he is *not* a lunatic who is easily discredited and can be pointed to to frighten people away from speaking out against the establishment.

2018-12-07 14:43:33 UTC  

So hows crypto gonna help?

2018-12-07 14:43:41 UTC  

They are decentralised.

2018-12-07 14:43:45 UTC  

How are YT memberships doing?

2018-12-07 14:44:11 UTC  

This is totally epic

2018-12-07 14:44:16 UTC  

I know YT takes a huge chunk. 😒

2018-12-07 14:44:31 UTC  

So EOS, which is trying to build a decentralised internet, is essentially a network of 21 computers that token holders vote for.

2018-12-07 14:44:49 UTC  

They are spread around the world (although there is too much power in China right now).

2018-12-07 14:45:14 UTC  

And they will almost certainly release a social media platform which is built on the blockchain from the ground up in the next 6 months.

2018-12-07 14:45:17 UTC  

crypto is
A: complicated, so the majority you wanna convince with your message won't even know how to make it happen that they can see it

B: Ultimately the government can run a fear-campaign to get people to submit to a blockade on the internet to like what China has, where the only way you can get anywhere is if its accepted

2018-12-07 14:45:31 UTC  

Ok now this is epic

2018-12-07 14:46:09 UTC  

It will not be possible to censor them, since they are geographically distributed, and if one network producer cooperates with an authoritarian state they can be voted out.

2018-12-07 14:46:20 UTC  

It's designed by the guy who designed steemit.

2018-12-07 14:46:25 UTC  

Which runs dtube.

2018-12-07 14:46:31 UTC  

So then you can cut off parts of the world

2018-12-07 14:46:31 UTC  

on IPFS.

2018-12-07 14:46:42 UTC  

Well, not necessarily.

2018-12-07 14:47:04 UTC  

I mean,p there are cryptos which can be used even when states try to censor them.

2018-12-07 14:47:33 UTC  

But *some* decentralisation is better than the monopolies we currently have, no?

2018-12-07 14:47:43 UTC  

YouTube more like censor tube

2018-12-07 14:47:53 UTC  

you're gonna have to give me a lot more to go on than "decentralisation"

2018-12-07 14:47:55 UTC  

I mean, imagine we had a decentralised social media platform that could not be taken down by banks at this point.

2018-12-07 14:48:04 UTC  

I have.

2018-12-07 14:48:20 UTC  

I can't,

Cuz the banks are only the current go-to for that

companies can pressure ISP's to simply block social media

2018-12-07 14:48:30 UTC  

that isn't halal

2018-12-07 14:48:35 UTC  

Well yes. They could turn it all off.

2018-12-07 14:48:42 UTC  

But you're being fundamentalist.

2018-12-07 14:48:55 UTC  

Which is one of the problems in crypto, actually.

2018-12-07 14:49:00 UTC  

And everywhere else.

2018-12-07 14:49:01 UTC  

thats quite an accusation

2018-12-07 14:49:25 UTC  

I'm all for a better system,

But i'm not for yoloing to whatever is there, regardless of if it can work

2018-12-07 14:49:26 UTC  

People are fundamentalist about things, so shit on things that are *better* and *functional*.

2018-12-07 14:49:35 UTC  

Because they're not *perfect*

2018-12-07 14:49:49 UTC  

That's the SJWs to a T.

2018-12-07 14:49:50 UTC  

Explain to me, what the point is in giving money to a system that just gets blocked

2018-12-07 14:50:15 UTC  

In many cases, it can't be blocked.

2018-12-07 14:50:18 UTC  

I'm all for a better system, i want the ol "wild-west" internet back
