Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 day agoFirst sign of crypto and I am out. I would speculate that true of a lot of people in the Fediverse.
From my perspective, there are only two use cases for crypto 1. Criminal activity 2. Pump and dumps

Yeah! How dare people try to have wealth that is actually borderless and self-sovereign. Those idiots are scammers! I will own nothing and step in line to bow before the fed. Sure they can take away my money whenever they feel like it for no reason and that is a good thing.

Nice rant. A very provincial take I must I add.

Thanks. 😂 Honestly, I hate scammers. I really do. But they’re SO easy to spot.
I feel that the hivemind threw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to crypto. Thanks to Do Kwan, Sam Bankman Fried, etc, a whole viable set of technologies aimed at wrestling power from the world bank has been vilified by the hivemind.

Nono, it is not all just a scam. It is just {insert list of pretty much all relevant actors} that are scammers, the idea itself is totally legit! /s

I don’t know if you know this, but in many places obsession over central banks is simply not a thing. Maybe you need some real problems in your life? It would hell you gain perspective.
And btw, the World Bank isn’t actually a world a bank in the literal sense of the world.
