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

2018-12-07 14:50:28 UTC  

"It can't be blocked" if i pull the plug it aint getting in

2018-12-07 14:50:36 UTC  

And to block them, you would have to cooperate across dozens of jurisdictions.

2018-12-07 14:50:43 UTC  

Or geoblock parts of the world.

2018-12-07 14:50:50 UTC  

What do you think Globalists do?

2018-12-07 14:51:02 UTC  

why does Merkel get her filthy paws in Polands jurisdictions?

2018-12-07 14:51:03 UTC  

They aren't doing that, yet.

2018-12-07 14:51:17 UTC  

Well, they're not geoblocking countries.

2018-12-07 14:51:21 UTC  

yet

2018-12-07 14:51:23 UTC  

cuz they don't have to

`companies can pressure ISP's to simply block social media`
About that, Telegram is still unblockable

2018-12-07 14:51:33 UTC  

They haven't managed to shutdown torrents, despite more than a decade of trying.

2018-12-07 14:51:42 UTC  

ANd IPFS is just torrents.

2018-12-07 14:51:56 UTC  

they haven't tried it honestly

2018-12-07 14:52:06 UTC  

cuz the western world is still too free

2018-12-07 14:52:18 UTC  

give it time, it will erode and you'll have China levels of control if we don't reverse it

2018-12-07 14:52:37 UTC  

We'd complain if they do it, start riots etc

2018-12-07 14:53:36 UTC  

Well I would prefer supporting alternatives *now* than rejecting them in the hope that the situation deteriorates to the point we have to resort to pitchforks (literally).

2018-12-07 14:53:40 UTC  

IPFS is torrents + detailed analytics

2018-12-07 14:53:43 UTC  

Point being,

I'd love it if it works, but its based on the assumption that only one of the factions "evolves" its technology

2018-12-07 14:54:00 UTC  

which simply is too big a risk for me

2018-12-07 14:54:00 UTC  

blockchain = audit trail

2018-12-07 14:54:14 UTC  

I agree that a blockchain is an audit trail.

2018-12-07 14:54:29 UTC  

That's why we need to support decentralised blockchains.

2018-12-07 14:54:43 UTC  

Because teh state will get its grubby paws on blockchain.

2018-12-07 14:54:52 UTC  

Why do you think they are allowing it to survive for now.
