      Bitcoin mostly supports the right wing billionaires who we’re essential in creating Trump 2.0 these days. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now mostly tools for the investor class to circumvent financial regulation. Whatever crypto currencies started out to solve, they’ve been completely co-opted by the nerd reich.

        Bitcoin was hyped as a currency but was quickly behaved like an investment vehicle. I don’t think they were ever started to solve anything; that was just bs to get the ball rolling on making piles of money.

              Nay, once every week for the past four years, I go to McDonald’s and order a hamburger for $3, but they ask me for $3.27, so I only put down $3 on the counter and then loudly proclaim I refuse to pay the sales tax on it. Then I walk out of the restaurant to force them to accept my money.

              (I have not eaten a hamburger in four years)
