It’s this; a huge part of the Crypto/NFT con is that those pushing it are Libertarian douche-bros. Breaking copyright is the point to them, they believe in a system with no rules or regulation, because they put their own personal ability to act without restriction first and foremost. The fact that the vast majority of…

Lawyers cost money. A C&D is cheaper than a lawsuit, and there’s always a chance of a PR disaster when a huge corporation attacks the (perceived) little guy.

I don’t care if this is intended as boilerplate legalese, any company still “evaluating” their plans in this space, given everything we now know about it, can get in the bin.

Somebody from the Fed had a pretty good point recently: Digital currency already exists. The vast majority of dollars are digital. They don’t need a blockchain because the US has a large squad of people who will come wreck your shit if you use dollars or the system dollars pass through for criminal reasons (whether…

Wow, no, that is the floweriest cease and desist every. They should have just sued them to start. Scare these shitheads into dropping these fucking scams

“Wizards of the Coast is not going to make it” says dudes who don’t know the amount of printed cards or an actual digitized version of MTG that is, wait for it, A LICENSED VIDEO GAME!!!

It never was

It never really was. The game has highly sexualized ads, some that clearly feature trans models. It’s not anti-trans it’s corporate dystopia exploiting everyone’s bodies.

Unions are a good thing. Police unions are not.

I mean those antigay hangups were pretty common the world over in the mid 20th century.

Well, what do you expect from a country whose main goal since inception is to try to take over the world since almost a millennia?

Russia is a lost cause, from a democratic and societal point of view IMO. The wheels that’d require turning to get it anywhere near parity with other social democracies feel impossibly large. At a minimum, we’d have to wait for Putin to die, and hope his successor was weak enough, and pro-democractic groups strong &…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: modern Sterling videos let me imagine what it’d be like if Elton John reviewed video games, and I absolutely mean that as a compliment.

In fact, if we were all paid properly for the value we create that our rich overlords steal from us we could all afford Porsches. Socialism is actually *about* the workers getting way more money.

Bunch of bad faith dickheads continue to conflate socialism with intentional destitution. You can be a rich socialist, there’s absolutely nothing contradictory about it.

I’m no fan of the Taycan but what exactly makes it a “shitty-ass car” in your eyes?

Do people expect him to donate 90% of his income and live in artificial poverty for the sake of an image?

I get the reaction.

And I also get why it’s stupid.

So... he can’t be an advocate for socialism and buy a nice car?

The problem with that is the same problem with all other proposed “good uses” of blockchains; you could do the same thing more efficiently with a distributed transactional database.
