"The fact is working-class people do not have a genuine political home in our new Gilded Age, they are forced to ally either with billionaires in the Republican party or Democratic liberal elites in hopes that someone will allay their concerns. Fixing this requires a politics that confronts both."

Hearing the progressive commentators I usually listen to offer their hysterical takes on the proposed Bitcoin strategic reserve is so painful

They are correct that the only reason this is being considered is because of political donations from the crypto industry, but everything else they're saying is pure Crypto Derangement Syndrome

No, SBF being a fraud doesn't prove the whole industry is a scam

No, the main use case aside from speculation is not money laundering and fraud

No, a Bitcoin strategic reserve doesn't mean the government would control the Bitcoin network (or vice versa)

No, this isn't a "bailout" for crypto billionaires -- is the gold reserve a bailout for billionaires who own gold?

Most of their arguments are pretty ridiculous and showcase a shocking lack of basic education about what crypto is (and the differences between Bitcoin and the many other crypto assets)

I can envision a year 2050 where the AMOC collapses and plunges the northern hemisphere into frigid iciness, and idiots will point to that and say "AHA! I knew global warming was a scam!"

Now begins the back-and-forth with the other person's insurance to get a fair payout, and my search for a new vehicle
Manhattan DA said Thompson's death "was a killing that was intended to evoke terror and we've seen that reaction"

Uhh, the only people who felt terrorized by this were other health insurance CEOs

But it's good to know that the national security industrial complex can now be used to protect corporate goons 👍

Potentially huge breakthrough in crypto communication as Mark Cuban gives Jon Stewart a legit lesson in Bitcoin, Ethereum and DAOs

Jon went into this thinking crypto is just gambling with zero utility. By the end he seemed very curious to keep learning more

It's rather dystopian that the mainstream corporate media would go against their own interests and explicitly decline to publish Mangione's manifesto - in at least one case as part of a "deal" with law enforcement who didn't want it publicized

Those news orgs are not journalists, they are stenographers for the state... and they want to control the narrative
