>>I dunno. I don't think I particularly want to live in a world where it's essentially impossible to regulate money. But I don't really see how to avoid it anymore.

I've long said that cryptocurrency will force people to decide whether they want a world where we have internet freedoms like free speech and access to strong encryption, or we want to be able to tax income and regulate finance.

By turning finance into published information, cryptocurrency reveals the authoritarian core of modern left wing political ideology. The idea that those on the left are liberal will be exposed as hollow by cryptocurrency.
