    Funny how crypto is an amazing example of an entire infrastructure and service layer going FOSS and fully decentralized, and open source capitalist haters still despise it.

    Aaaaahhh

      Yeah but what problem does it solve here? I don’t hate crypto in spite of it being FOSS, I hate it because greedy capitalists do harm with it and I don’t have any value from it.

        What problem does it solve where? It’s an immutable data ledger. It solves trustless interactions.

        Raising capital, trading, etc. it moves financial markets from proprietary pay to play arenas (wall st), to an open model.

        If you hate money and markets, you’ll hate it too. But it does solve worldwide instantaneous value transfer.

          Ah, so, like Git with signed commits. Got it. 🙃
