@Tim What exactly is the point of NFTs, anyway? I could see an application in managing ownership of intellectual property, but I also know it has no legal weight behind it, which kind of undermines that purpose.

@NEETzsche The point of NFTs is to get nigger cattle used to the idea of online identities/ownership. Nothing good will come from digital currencies, contrary to what libertarians clinging to their last cowardly hope of escape from reality will tell you.

@Tim Nah, BitCoin is the digital equivalent of the chunks of gold. It’s here to stay. It’s just that its rise has its own dystopian implications.

@NEETzsche What I've said here is a bit extreme. In the short term, and already there are minor use cases on our side, and perhaps it will be a boon IF the system begins to crumble and cannot crack down on it. But if not, if it can hold together, the government digital currencies, being more convenient and cheaper to use, will have the normies readily selling their souls more than they already have.

@NEETzsche Not to mention digital currencies are naturally rootless, and maybe even cosmopolitan. They certainly don't work against this evil sort, even in their decentralized forms.

@Tim Here’s how I imagine cryptocurrencies, and BitCoin in particular, hashing out:At any given moment, there’s a dominant world power, even by a slim margin. Their fiat currency is the de facto world currency. However, every other would-be dominant world power wants to undermine them. Consequently, they all keep stores of BitCoin or maybe in future some privacy coin like Monero, and make the usual libertarian arguments in favor of its use.This goes on until that nation-state is “dethroned” and they have a “switch tactics” moment. I expect crab mentality to keep BitCoin relevant as a fungible store of value to those “in the know” in the way that piles of small arms or piles of precious metals are. I NEVER, and I repeat NEVER, expect cryptocurrencies to be a good way to make daily purchases like your lunch or filling up your car’s gas tank.

@NEETzsche Not inherently anyway. Again, in the short term, good people are using it due to the control maintained over traditional payment processors, but that is little consolation if in the long term the current strain of rootless cosmopolitans rule the world.

@Tim @NEETzsche The system can crack down on it, but is unlikely to because the dollar is on it's way out. If they were going to shut it down banks wouldn't have adopted it

@Pross988 @NEETzsche I don't care whether digital currencies stay or go; what matters is who has power as a result of them. If banks adopt them, has anything good really happened at all? Have not people become more survailed, more reliant on rootless sorts which think they are entitled to engineer the lives of other peoples for the sake of their own?

@Pross988 @NEETzsche Some think on the deracinated level of only their own portfolio, thinking the best thing is to achieve "financial independence" as if that alone allotted any true sovereignty. Flakes of gold are blown about by the winds of power the same as grains of sand. Try to use your money to bind people together into something that can't be blown about and you'll see how little freedom that money really buys. Though, this isn't to say that money is worthless in resistance, just that it is secondary to more fundamental realities.

@Tim @Pross988 Nobody has “true sovereignty.” Even world powers are checked by other world powers. But “financial independence” within a world power is a great start. It ensures, barring a war or something, that you get to do what the fuck you want within reason. The more financially independent you are, the more generous the State’s conception of “within reason” entails.“Financial independence” is a fine personal goal to have.

@NEETzsche @Pross988 It is easy to counter someone if you pretend they speak in absolutes. I would say financial independence should not be in the top three goals of a man. It's such an empty thing in itself, it might as well be meaningless. You'll be able to afford meat while everyone else eats soy; if you've done really well maybe even a child prostitute or two. Wealth is a tool, and if you have no strong ambition beyond it you will be a tool of it, even at the level of simple financial security, which itself is transitory, as managerial elites continuously disrupt the footing of those below their level. The system is molded to do this; it's important to see past its mirage.Given we see every one of our "democratic" rulers being despicable tools, whether inside or outside politics, how do you conclude that by playing by the rules of liberalism you won't turn in to one too? Some might say this isn't real liberalism, bet I believe we've heard that excuse before. The only way out is to value the sovereignty of those properties of man capable of holding themselves above the merchant class.
