    @antanicus Some people only operate at the surface level and Bitcoin has enough technical details to obfuscate its mechanism.

    The enthusiasm with which the financial industry has embraced Bitcoin is precisely because its mechanism consolidates control of the currency to a few individuals or organizations which are not counter-hegemonic.

    In this talk, we'll take a deeper look at what life is like for Cuban hackers, and we’ll get to tour a vibrant set of community-driven networks that typical tourists never see. The story that emerges is an inspiring view of what communities can (and can’t) accomplish in the face of adversity.

    @davidross I think there's also something else going on, which is a generational shift. If you are a young adult today under 35 then you have probably never known any approximation of actually functioning capitalism. From your perspective the economy has been permanently flatlining, with the patient not responding to treatment. From that perspective the excesses, classism and smug proclamations about building a better world while simultaneously exuding bigotry, nepotism and celebrating disgusting inequality seems repulsive.

    @masoud There are a few things.

    Obtaining a clearnet domain is hard

    It isn't if you know the process, but for the average person obtaining a domain name is something outside of their knowledge and therefore possibly scary. It also doesn't help that there are intimidating technical acronyms involved.

    Creating a dynamicdns account is similarly intimidating

    I'm trying to imagine what coming to this from a totally non-technical perspective world feel like, and I expect it would be baffling. What even is DNS? Why does it need to be dynamic?

    Forwarding ports from an internet router is not a standardized process

    Each router type has its own unique interface, so you can't give out standard instructions which will always work.

    People have been conditioned against TOR

    A possible solution to all of the above is just to use onion addresses in a Tor compatible browser. There has however been a long FUD campaign against Tor in the mainstream media such that even if the average person has heard of it (I think this is mostly true) then they have been told that it's some SCARY SCARY THING only used by criminals, terrorists or child abusers. And maybe now also Putin has been appended to the list. There may be alternatives which have not yet been demonized, such as using IPFS addresses.

    @sophia The amount of work I needed to obtain btc from the Bitcoin faucet was a few clicks. Nearly a decade later that's supposedly worth some not completely trivial amount of Regime currency. This tells me something about how "rational" the contemporary economy is.

    I feel like a fool for not investing in cryptocurrency when I’m supposed to be young and techie enough to have the advantage but I’m also just repulsed by the concept and what it represents. It’s never been more transparent of a relationship between financial transaction, wealth accumulation, and wasteful, devastatingly destructive, endless labour
