a blog post by my friend eevee which is, y’know, preaching to the choir about exactly what you think, but. yeah. https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/
@0xabad1dea: I'll just note that Bitcoin wasn't just taken over by turbo-libertarians; it was explicitly built on their ideals. That's a big part of why the technology sucks as hard as it does.
@raktheundead I see it as a tragic case of having been designed by a sincere idealist and then adopted by people who agree so far as “fuck banks! fuck regulations! fuck the surveillance state!” without following all the way through to the deep anarchist lore of “let us join in communion with all the human race and live radiant with peace, love, and mutual cooperation”
