Right wing death squads let's get moving here already in Minecraft.

There's no need for violence. Their bullshit is unsustainable, and unhidable in the information age. Gold and crypto will free us from their inflationary fiat schemes when they eventually collapse, and many sites including voat will keep us informed of their lame attempts at global socialism.

Gotta disagree with you. Crypto will make many people very rich, hopefully myself included, but I don't see it freeing mankind in any way. Particularly, long term. A one world currency is the ultimate goal of crypto and the enslavement that will follow will be like nothing the world has ever seen.

This is obviously just my dark opinion, but I don't see any stopping what's coming with crypto so you, me, we may as well enjoy whatever freedoms we can attain from it.

You and /u/nobslob are one Carrington Event away from fucking yourselves over.

I'd bet that most Voat users own crypto, myself included, but unlike you two, I realize that it's not a silver bullet.

I realize that it's not a silver bullet.

Tell that to the guy who paid 10k bitcoin for two pizzas.

I'd bet that most Voat users own crypto

I'll take that bet any day. I'd probably even lay you some odds.

Well, as someone who invested in BTC pre-2011 and someone who invested in the Ethereum ICO, I still vehemently disagree with you. One worldwide EMP renders all financial solutions most, crypto included.

Of course an emp would wreck everything. But it would anyway crypto or no crypto. I'm not denying that. I suppose by silver bullet you meant a magical cure for the ills of the world then no I think quite the opposite. It will be a new enslavement age. I'm well aware I'm not immune to any future technocratic threats just because I own crypto.

In the meantime though, like I said, whatever freedom I can attain from it I'm gonna take. Congrats on getting in early you're in the mega minority who held on for this long.

Indeed. Only thing I'm besting myself up over is I join Binance back in August and bought 30,000 BNB ranging from $0.11 to $1, and I sold them all for ETH when it was $8 - $13.

I should have held it. [FACEPALM]

Not a bad profit but ouchhhhhhh. Eth has made some gains though not all terrible for you. Merely short term stuff anyway 3x is nothing compared to what's already happened and what's coming the next five/ten years. I think xrp stands to gain the most long term as they gradually replace swift but short term, bitcoin, bnb and friends will probably have better gains. I hope the market goes sideways for another six months so I can load right the fuck up.

Right? Imagine grabbing XRP for $0.005 a few years ago...
