Hi, Roger. He offered some value in this video, but overall doesn't get the fact that only ancaps & right-libertarian types see bitcoin and cryptos in general as a new form of currency. Most of the folks that I talk to about crypto and bitcoin are investors that see them as speculative plays in the market. They all see them as commodities. My wife and I (mainly my wife, I focus more on options and futures trading) jump in and out of coins daily. Bitcoin & ethereum are the gold and silver of the group. Ethereum is used on many exchanges as the "gas" to make transactions go thru and because of this, a "flippening" with bitcoin is looking more likely.
I think leftists should consider crypto when thinking about fundraising and handling transactions that benefit the development or sustenance of a movement they're part of. Long-term, the odds are that crypto and decentralized finance will become as establishment as any other financial instrument in the marketplace. Here's a link to an M.I.T. lecture on the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6vE97qIP4&list=FLbVq5Q5Bk_rEoWq_WXPfk9g&index=1 Cheer, Jim Brash -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
