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.

2018-12-07 14:55:00 UTC  

cuz they don't see it as a threat

2018-12-07 14:55:02 UTC  

neither do i

2018-12-07 14:55:05 UTC  

it it just me that gets confused thinking they are on a bdsm server because of the name before they remember whos server this is?

There may be no threshold at which normies start rioting against Chinese-level censorship. The reasonable response to Apple/ADL imposing Chinese-level censorship on Apple customers would be to torch Apple stores.

2018-12-07 14:55:42 UTC  

No. They are allowing the open source community to innovate, and they will plagiarise those innovations and make all of this censorship look like absolutely nothing.

2018-12-07 14:55:51 UTC  

blockchain is also irrelevant to freedom
and potentially counter-productive

2018-12-07 14:56:03 UTC  

Well it's coming, like it or not.

2018-12-07 14:56:06 UTC  

exactly, they don't see it as a threat

2018-12-07 14:56:19 UTC  

They see it as the ultimate tool.

2018-12-07 14:56:26 UTC  

they = who ?

2018-12-07 14:56:26 UTC  

Blockchain fetishism is counter-productive, sure.

2018-12-07 14:56:27 UTC  

Which is what it is.

2018-12-07 14:56:27 UTC  

yes, until we find another way around

2018-12-07 14:56:38 UTC  

The state.

2018-12-07 14:56:40 UTC  

government/globalists/authoritarians/state

2018-12-07 14:56:55 UTC  

agreed re state - and also banking / globalists

2018-12-07 14:57:03 UTC  

The state will adopt the blockchain and censor/monitor every single transaction you make.

2018-12-07 14:57:07 UTC  

until we find....

2018-12-07 14:57:11 UTC  

And then it's all over.

2018-12-07 14:57:11 UTC  

we've had it for ages

2018-12-07 14:57:14 UTC  

But right now you talk like a guy who wants to sell me bitcoins,

"Its the future"
"Its gonna be great"
"Its safe"
"Where will you be when the market crashes?"

2018-12-07 14:57:21 UTC  

Visa is not the state.

2018-12-07 14:57:25 UTC  

we just invested billions in web 2.0 to kill it

2018-12-07 14:57:37 UTC  

^ literal statement, not figurative

2018-12-07 14:57:53 UTC  

I'm a guy who doesn't care if you buy what I've got or not. I'm prepared to lsoe money.

2018-12-07 14:58:18 UTC  

```Dudes. You need to start supporting crypto. As a political donation, if nothing else.```

2018-12-07 14:58:26 UTC  

That's the point.

2018-12-07 14:58:29 UTC  

sounds like a sales pitch to me

2018-12-07 14:58:38 UTC  

I don't carte if you buy *what I've got*.

2018-12-07 14:58:50 UTC  

But we need to support decentralisation.

2018-12-07 14:58:55 UTC  

The principle.

2018-12-07 14:59:12 UTC  

Which is why I was careful to mention, of 3 cryptos, two I don't own.

2018-12-07 14:59:13 UTC  

I'm all for it, the moment i actually see useful potential in it,

crypto is not

2018-12-07 14:59:16 UTC  
2018-12-07 14:59:33 UTC  

Well you seem like an accelerationist, so...

2018-12-07 14:59:56 UTC  

And I doubt you actually understand blockchain technology.

2018-12-07 15:00:08 UTC  

But you are entitled to your opinion.

2018-12-07 15:00:13 UTC  

I gave mine.
