We've seen in recent years that fiat payment systems are ran by bad actors, that will on a whim revoke access to their systems to any entity they deem "problematic", even if no laws have been broken.

Crypto allows entities to freely exchange money without having to worry about passing some arbitrary purity test or getting witch-hunted into oblivion.

Labeling everyone who disagrees with you an extremist is certainly one strategy...

What is causing this so called death spiral is in part mass, uncontrolled immigration by immigrants who often refuse to learn the local language and participate in the country's culture. Driving up the cultural divide and putting a heavy pressure on an already stressed social system.

Back then you got a great game and the devs just gave you all the tools to mod it how ever you wanted. It even managed its own mods to some extent, auto-downloading everything you needed when joining a server.

Today it's all about rootkit anti-cheats and controlling the game and everything surrounding it with an iron fist, as to best monetize every little aspect of the game. No mods, no custom maps, no nothing, because everything has to be catered to give the players "the best experience".
