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.

OP: Give me your opinions on crypto currency.
Goats: I think that....
OP: YOUR OPINIONS ARE WRONG!

People did not respond to my questions about crypto. Almost all of the respondents are connected (probably including you) in a very obvious misinformation campaign, which is evident by the fact that nobody actually responded to my post - they just insulted me. You trying to declare otherwise is just an obvious lie.
It's an easy formula to see. They all did it. So did you.

OP: Everyone I don't agree with is a shill.
That's an easy formula to see as well. All the "builders" are doing it. So did you.
virge ago
Couldn't even be bothered to respond to the OP. Just personal attacks. We're done here.
There's the door, faggot.

Such becoming behavior for a "builder" who deletes all his past posts and comments. You also edited your comment which was a personal attack on me yet tell me I personally attacked you when I used your same word back at you. We're on to you Virge.

Demonstrably untrue. Easy to prove you are a liar. Here's the SearchVoat.co link proving your lie: https://searchvoat.co/?st=comments&t=It%27s+an+easy+formula+to+see.&u=virge
It's almost painful to watch how hard you're trying to shill.
Morbo ago
Well maybe I'll just put my cryptowallet address in my comments instead. You seem to think that's acceptable behavior so I will do as you do, builder.
virge ago
Not against the rules so you have every right to do so. I know that sucks because it's against your agenda, but I'm glad we could finally come to a mature adult conclusion.
Of course, since you don't actually produce anything of value to the community and are only interested in destroying it, putting a crypto wallet in your posts would just be a waste of time for you as nobody would probably donate in the first place - but don't let me stop you from your typical virtue signal garbage behavior.

You aggregate a social news aggregator site and you call that "building". You're just taking other people's work and calling it your own. You were a nobody here on Voat for 3.9 years and then all of a sudden you're a builder because you made 4 posts of other people's content. Now you're more active than you've ever been but are pushing a builder narrative and labeling anyone you don't like with a "destroyer" moniker. Funny that you got along with me just fine yesterday (https://voat.co/v/whatever/3242878/18838293). Now you're a complete asshole shilling for yourself and the whole builder/destroyer dichotomy. Voat is dying from this kind of cancer. The cancer started from within. You are part of the cancer. You are destroying Voat.

You were being reasonable when we had a conversation, so it was a reasonable conversation.
You started this conversation an asshole, so I responded like I was dealing with an asshole.
Morbo ago
I started this conversation with an observation. You turned it into an attack. You got defensive because you have let your new status go to your head. You were telling anyone who posted an opinion they were wrong when you asked for people to give you their opinions in the first place. Opinions are neither right or wrong. Admit you overreacted.
virge ago
This is an attack.
Morbo ago
That was a summary of your interaction with others. I see now why you delete your history. Can't have the truth hang around for all to see.
virge ago
You legitimately think those others were not intentionally attacking me? They ignored the discussion and just attacked me as a person. There was no discussion from them.
Morbo ago
You attacked me for an observation. There was no discussion from you. Pot meet kettle.
virge ago
Oh. So now you actually want to talk? Ok, lets see if you are intellectually honest or not.
What was the point of this? There is nothing wrong with deleting past comments. Why would something like this bother you, or anyone for that matter? It's not against any rules and even if I gave you my reasons why you'd never believe me anyway, and thats aside from the fact that it's still none of your fucking business anyway. Drop dead pointless and could only be used as an insult.
Not only was this a lie, but when I proved it to be a lie in the very next comment, you just skipped right on over the fact that you lied as if that didn't matter and then proceeded into yet another attack, by attempting to play make believe that your asinine opinion on crypto applies to the community. News flash - it doesn't. Your opinion doesn't mean shit to me, and if it's not breaking Voat's rules then it shouldn't mean shit to anyone else either.
For the second time, I've demonstrably shown you to be a hypocrite and a liar.
