  • ofc a lot depends on the precise definitions of terms, state corporatism is not synonymous with generally free markets operating under the regulation of a basically diverse inclusive democracy -- but both are referred to as "capitalism"

  • The Monero community spent a long time trying to find a "useful PoW" function. The problem is that most computations that are useful are not also easy to verify as correct. javascript optimization was one direction that got pursued pretty far.

    But at the end of the day, a crypto that actually intends to withstand attacks from major governments requires a system that is decentralized, trustless, and verifiable, and the only solutions that have been found to date involve algorithms for which a GPU or even custom ASIC confers no significant advantage over a consumer-grade CPU.

  • Imagine if it was people’s happiness and freedom instead of quarterly profits

    1. Whose happiness and freedom?
    2. How is it to be measured?
    3. Capitalists honestly believe that free trade is the best albeit flawed way to do both of the above

    It's definitely valid to disagree about point #3, but then you need to give a better model for #1 and #2

  • I would give this reddit gold

    Instant easy complaints help-i'm-oppressed-by-Capitalism today sound an awful lot like the instant easy complaints help-i'm-oppressed-by-Communism I used to hear from rednecks

    Ask someone who starved & died under either system how obviously superior it is, you will find millions on either side

  • Monero

    Satoshi was right and Crypto absolutely has valid use cases. What if your government doesn't want you accessing meds you need at prices you can afford? What if your government doesn't like your sexual orientation, but you want a subscription to a dating site? What if your government throws up unjust export controls or tariffs that suddenly make you and your business impossible?

    Crypto's best killer use case is uncensorable, untraceable money

    Bitcoin is neither of those things. There is a reason people buy heroin with Monero. It actually does what crypto is supposed to do, which means it could safeguard your Grindr XTRA subscription.

  • client-server model. I want sharing model. Like with Briar

    Guess what

    Briar itself, and every pure P2P decentralized network where all nodes are identical... are built on Internet Sockets which inherently require one party ("server") to start listening on a port, and another party ("client") to start the conversation.

    Briar uses TCP/IP, but it uses Tor routing, which is IMO a smart thing to do

  • Yale economist interviewed by the NYT has a slightly more nuanced opinion:

    "In a world where I think we are fiscally unsustainable, debt to gross domestic product is rising much too quickly. Part of the reason for that is the tax bill that was passed last month, but it’s rising. Finding ways to raise $3 trillion is a feat, and that’s just a fact."

    (She estimates $3T from tariffs)
