This one is very interesting to me because I've never observed it in the wild before. Think critically. What type of person, demographic, or vested counterparty interest would dislike crypto?
A few days ago, I legitimately thought the only people who disliked crypto fell into a few key easy categories: people who dislike change, people who only know about crypto from various "CEO OF BITCOIN COMMITS FRAUD" MSM fake-news headlines, and people who have misconceptions about it's purpose or use and see it as a volatile form of gambling like the stock market.
Who has reason to hate the feedom to use crypto and avoid a censorious and political banking industry, overwhelmingly run by two core demographics? Who would be extremely concerned with you doing something harder to track, in a world where systems have been erected in a way where all data can be aggregated to be sold or used to control?
Now, the past two days has given me quite different experience, seeing opposition that feels far more institutionalized in nature.
Who would prefer you were a good IRS taxpaying boy or girl who used the traditional Western Banking system, which subsequently can close your account if you say, do, or buy things they don't like?
Edit: Wow. Look at the hornests nest of Globalists this one stirred up.

What I saw was people questioning your practice of putting your addresses in your posts. I've seen many question crypto through the years for various reasons. But in the last couple days Here, what I saw was people questioning your use of them here. Maybe you shouldn't beg for money while posting to Voat.

If you produced something, and someone came up to ask you if they could pay you because they felt your time was worth something to them, what would you do?.
More importantly, do you legitimately think every person should make the same decisions as you if it's not hurting you?. If you do, then you are my enemy and I will be forced to treat you so from now on. Be clear with your intentions, I have no time in my life for people who only wish to create arguments and drama.

I think monetizing your Voat acct is ethically questionable.
You sure do sound like a builder w that 'enemy' talk. @Puttitout is this the kind of behavior you wish to exemplify? I'm most curious about the crypto addresses question. This practice has basically monetized the ThingsYouMissedOnVoat threads and sub. I'm not sure that's ok really.

Sounds like something a Leftist would say. You can think whatever you like, but unless it's against Voat's rules then you should keep it to yourself out of respect. If you're the type of person who thinks they can make up rules wherever they go and force others to follow them, then you are my enemy.
And you sound like a destroyer by constantly thinking you have some right to declare what other people can or cannot do in a website dedicated to Free Speech. Ironic, isn't it?
Take it up with Putt, not me. I won't waste my time with someone like you who has no power or authority over me.

I may indeed take it up w Voat as a whole. You aren't here to build Voat. You're here to profit from the work of others. You are a leach.

Please do. That way when you get shut down you can stop trying to influence my life just because you're a control freak twat.
Yeah. As some Leftist faggot who thinks they are in charge and is clearly a destroyer who wants to see the community die off, you would think that.
Oh. Yes. Someone asking if they can give me money and me giving them the way to do so. Extremely worthy of being defined as a leech and not a service.
Your Leftist vagina, I'm sorry I mean personal bias you get hard ons from projecting on others with force, is showing.
I am not a leech and you are an honor-less liar for saying so. You, however, are clearly a parasite.
MrPim ago
You are a leech. You create no content but aggregate the creation of others on a site you also did not create. You are not a capitalistic builder profiting from your own work. You are a leech and a beggar.

Would a leech put effort into this? https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/3243355
You are a liar and a parasite. You are being added to my block list, you've made it extremely clear there can be no reasoning with you and you are both my enemy and a destroyer who wishes to see Voat die off.
There's the door.

OMG you wrote several paragraphs!
Leech and beggar.
