Reece Coren

the episode that got me hooked

Sarah

it’s 2024. i’m 25, take elvanse, & work on the computer all day 🫠

Gengeros

Can we get an episode about Hassan and twitch reveal of wealth of various twitch streamers? Also a serious episode about land back that is blowing up on left Twitter. Also can you have on economicist Paul Cockshott.

take5™

no we can’t. thanks.

Evan

....

Maksymilian Ratajczyk

tbh, i would totally buy some chapo NFT's only to give it all to a homeless person as an act of kindness

Mark

Just in time for my commute to DC on my first day in the field working out of the elevator union for a company that collaborated with the Nazis. Let’s go

Evan

Can we get an episode on amazing patreon comments.. How much money is in each of your accounts..Also can you have on economicists the Trillbillies

Jeff Martin

Broke: Chiming in on parodying the annoying people in the comments

Jeff Martin

Woke: Uncovering state secrets in Discord with other nerds

Osborne MOCs

NFTs are like running a trash fire in your backyard 24/7 so that once a day someone comes by with an iPad and shows you the Charlie Bit My Finger video

Archie MacLellan

Started vibrating at the Stalingrad references. Who here has read The Kindly Ones?

calvin kilby

Hell yeah I wanna kill myself

mt unit

Waste of fucking time .

Maksymilian Ratajczyk

On one hand crypto/NFT are evil but on the other hand i can buy some images of peanuts with different colors in the backround and say to my autistic girfriend "Babe we are set for life with this investment, we can go now and see new Ghostbusters movie".

Rusty Shackleford

Goddamn how did Felix get into Knausgaard instead of that one?

the lord commander

Matt is correct the value of an NTF is the server number on some hard drive. It's not the jpeg. The game is tricking other losers to over pay for it.

tabbyswipe

I would like a felix ape nft pls

Fellow Worker

NewFoundland listeners must be losing their minds

IHaveHemorrhoids

Gif NFTs exist, Felix. So do video NFTs I am opposed to NFTs but to play devil's advocate there are way more artistically catered NFT markets than the ones you guys mention.

Henry

The only people who get a perfect score on that test are Pod Save America listeners.

Isaac Jones

NFTs? What a gross, pathetic waste of money and time. I myself will instead spend a quarter of my annual income investing in the only digital items with REAL value (CSGO skins)

Gengeros

If NFTs had existed during the early 20th century, it would definitely had inspired Hitler to do the Holocaust.

Gengeros

Next episode, Felix tries to spell "bosnia and herzegovina"

Matelda

I am not a scientist but i think an NFT is when you have a copy of something that's extremely easy to copy, but you know for a fact that your copy is the only one that's the one it is

Kyle Smyth

When I went to a USA soccer game last month they spent a solid 30 minutes throughout the game hocking an NFT and had a make a wish kid watching from home on a camera-mounted robot. The game was terrible and the whole experience made me feel insane.

Brendan A. MacWade

The left needs to be more clever with NFS. They should be selling NFTs to the rich and using the proceeds to fund the abortion underground railroad.

lubacious

Might fuck around later and make an NFT of the first Chapo autograph.

blackFFillip

Lots of clicks and pops in the left channel during Felix's audio oof

Michael Barbarich

Pulled 10k out of my 401k and sent it to cryptochapo.io. awaiting further instructions for Santa kingship. Also, I do see the value behind the underlying tech in many cryptos and even nft's, but I also realize the market is absolutely flooded with ridiculous projects and outright scams that make it look a ludicrous ancap fever dream. Nano is a cool project, though.

Isaac Jones

What headphones do you guys who always complain about Felix's audio use? Ive never had an issue with it

William

If you actually think crypto can upend the existing power structure, you're retarded. Furthermore, you have no actual theory of power and the sickest part of all is how much you pin your hopes on the stupidest slivers of optimism to avoid actually having to do the hard work necessary to turn this fucking dumpster fire around

Nobody

I could easily see Epstein killing himself. If people wanted him dead they would have done it already especially when he was charged the first time

Kasz

Starting with a fecal finger paint portrait of late abortion survivor Rush Limbaugh RIP they got him in the end.

Nobody

Considering the amount of gun homicides in the country why wouldn't a guy just decide to kill a bunch of people?

danny hotsauce

im opposed to nft's because i sold my house to buy 10 lazy lions and now my wife has full custody of our kids (even tho its a good ass investment)

BossHoss

Now everyone is going to be out of shape and disconnected. How will the women who want to tickle Felix’s butthole until he’s driven sane find him now?

S

Welcome to hell (the beltway)

Red Army Commando

Jokes on you I made 10 million dollars speculating on the RuneScape Grand Exchange

DogCrunch

Will is 100% wrong on gambling. You gotta spend money to make money. Even children know that

Tristan

Why do all crypto losers get so offended at any criticism of it? Hilarious

Dan

Newfoundland= Newf-in-land. Americans, even northerners who could pass as Canadian, reveal themselves by mispronouncing the name of our Atlantic province. Felix had enough awareness to almost get it correct the first time, but missed on both tries.

Mark

Wasn’t bad at 5 this morning, I’m sure the ride home is going to be a pain though.

John Reeves

It's just that NFTs aren't anything. They're a blockchain verified proof of "dibs".

Max Lopez

“The Sinola Cartel” - Felix

blackFFillip

This was on a Sony WH-1000MX2. It's usually okay, today stood out Getting rid of the pops or the "like, uhs" is an easier call. It's why Matt is best 💅

etienne

hey if you want to be a pedant why don't you do it correctly and say that NFTs are an application of the blockchain technology which is usually refered to by the prefix "crypto-"

etienne

newfies sometimes have to correct canadians on how to pronounce "newfoundland" but canadians usually have to correct newfies on which side of their pants go in front

etienne

funny thing is that NFTs are in spirit way closer to the original example use case for blockchains from way way back, lots of people wanted to use this thing to do proof of ownership, not just speculation vehicles. It's just annoying that they have to be maximally dumb about it at every single turn

etienne

before the invention of the blockchain, there was no way to establish that one person "owned" a good or asset, nor whether they did "sell" it to someone else. Incredibly inconvenient.

etienne

jesus fucking christ the Bitcoin ledger weighs 368Gb as of today. Extremely good payment processing technology.

Kasz

Can someone explain why it's bad that I would have to blow through my monthly data cap four times to be very sure that a specific imaginary speculative asset standing in for currency is legit? I'm a retarded autistic faggot.

BL

The problem with GMOs is that they're genetically modified to be able to withstand ridiculous amounts of carcinogenic pesticides. The result isn't obesity, it's cancer. Just fyi. The widespread use of pesticides is also causing insect populations to collapse worldwide, which in turn causes ecosystem collapse. That's my understanding as an environmental biologist, not a hippie.

etienne

I think it blows a hole at least in the original argument that the original blockchain ledger could be an efficient decentralized payment processor. Now if you can come up with some kind of lattice mesh network bullshit with proof-of-stake instead of proof-of-work of whatever ... I guess I'd have to read up on this

Nathan

He was able to get by with a slap on the wrist in 2009 because he wasn't a news story. But his arrest was national news and his trial would have also been news. So, the elites had a choice between letting him walk which will lead to scrutiny of the whole justice system, prosecuting him which might lead to implicating others, and ending the whole story with a suspicious death in jail. The third option is best for all parties except Epstein.

Dante

Nft nerds are just ancap gacha, only with ugly ass jpgs

Mark Schneider

Up North of Ess Eff, in Marin County, the folks live in a place spelled San Raphael, but pronounced "San Raf-ell" by all the locals. No Mexsican spoken there, for sure!!

Sheep

I own every NFT now

Makoto

Listening about NFT always makes me think the argument btw a 3 years old and a 5 years old at my daughter’s preschool over who owned the imaginary rabbit pet of theirs.

THEKILLERWHALE

Sounds stupid and that's good enough for me. If I wanted to waste tons of time researching arcane and useless information whose use was entirely against the public good, I would look into anti-vax first.

etienne

the new twitter disguise is monstrous. thank you felix.

KatrinaJadeHelm

If I had a post in my past as embarrassing as the evolved ape posts, I would absolutely violate my own terms of service

Shimosanz (Brian Sanchez)

To add to feral files, we had a guy at the hospital I work at screaming at his doctor and nurse cuz he didn’t want to wear a mask, and we had to call security to make him comply. After that we watched him leave in his lifted truck with a camo decal (yes, really).

George Lochinski

My new fav conspiracy theory: Wapo editorial board broke the Pandora Papers *story* to give themselves the precise amount of credibility needed to start sternly lecturing ppl about Jeffrey Epstein & the 2000 election

George Lochinski

Also I can't believe Felix is rhapsodizing about Jay Electronica w/o mentioning the child he fathered w Erykah Badu

George Lochinski

Lol also remember when journalism aspired to be an oversight mechanism in itself for First World power rather than just running stenography for the CIA?

TugNuggins

Corisco Island - Felix talking about Corsica.

orc

Is this conspiracy quiz available anywhere

Blake Patraw

will said its October 11 but the episode says 10/12 hmmm🤔

Blake Patraw

i got a cockshott for you right here pal

Shadowil

Oh thank God, I was worried there'd be 6 bad eps in a row

Matt Crossin

First half of this is very funny but Chapo always gets frustrating when they get into lib conspiracy territory

Chris Warren

This was an excellent episode.

Boggs

Yes NFT art is objectively ugly. They don't seem to understand that in order to create a series of NFTs you have to procedurally generate thousands of "attributes". Of course they look bad. Creators are pumping out series that mix n' match poorly made art. It's like putting everything in your closet on at once.

Will

Looks like some scammer bought the domain name you linked in the ep description. Might want to de-link to that.

cwen

notme

NFTs may be dumb, but Crypto all in all is bring necessary banking functions to the un banked and underbanked throughout the 1st and 3rd world. Decentralized finance will likely free the world from the clutches of the capitalist.

Grace Van de Pas

Nailed it--the GMO controversy is a distraction from what they actually use genetic engineering technology for, which above all else is selling pesticides.

Chris Ryan

All this shit is hand drawn. Evil apes = fake procedural. Not that it matters, why u mad anyway

cwen

Vincent Utah

And the fuckwads saying this shit verbatim on YouTube are more trustworthy than scientists why exactly?

AKorgar

Hands off our baby boy Will

AKorgar

They didn't want him dead until he got arrested that was the point. My hunch is that the CIA was using him to spin money for off-the-books operations and also to generate blackmail material. As long as he was doing that he was useful. Then he gets arrested in a high profile case where he's going to go down and will probably talk to try to save his skin, so they merked him

AKorgar

Shout out to Brace, Liz and YC

Blake Patraw

LMAO i saw that wapo conspiracy article! I'm glad they're talking about it that shit was so asinine

William

Wow, imagine the vaccine not being distributed to literally the rest of the world outside of G20 countries, fucking retard

Vincent Utah

How much research have you put into this, pal? And no, listening to podcasts doesn’t count as “research.”

William

You're fucking stupid

William

Lol fucking retard. Just keep talking about other shit to deflect from being exposed as a dumbass. You apparently don't know anything about the development of this vaccine either. Do you do it for the embarrassment?

AKorgar

I'm retiring off of my fortune in Minecraft screenshots. You'll all work for me, you peasants

AKorgar

The most routine aspect of capitalism is its repeated use of gimmicks to make people think its somehow going to be different, the KEY to making capitalism a system that works for everyone without having to actually change anything

AKorgar

If at first you don't win at gambling, just do it more. You gotta want it more than the other guy. Put important things that you own down on it, bet your car, your house, your wife. If the stakes are high you'll do better it will keep you focused and in the game. Real heads know

Collyn Marsh

Remind me, who owns the Washington Post?

Kasz

Someone absolutely not planning any conspiracies on his own and using his newsroom to preempt suspicion.

Blake Patraw

omg amber took that amazing pic of matt?? hell yes

Dustin

Lmao. Yeah. That’s hilarious. But no.

Dustin

I just gank noobs on Diablo 2 servers and sell their gear to other newbies. It’s uh…. Not paying so well anymore.

Isaac Jones

Wild to me that people like this are paying Chapo Trap House money every month. What exactly are you here for?

etienne

Chris that was a *great* ending song choice. btw your side pod should do How Music Works by David Byrne

etienne

the site is phenonenal lol. great job

Bud Light

NFT of Rod Dreher’s primitive dick stuff.

Will

Whoever it is dropped 60 dollars for the domain name.

KatrinaJadeHelm

It’s on WaPo (I don’t think it’s paywalled) but there’s not a ton of extra stuff there that Will didn’t cover.

AKorgar

Centuries ago one of the things that King Louis XIV did to hold on to power as an absolute monarch was to invent honors and titles to bestow on nobles. If you were lucky, you got to be the Royal Candleholder, and be the guy with the honor of holding the King's candlestick as he got into bed. Or the Royal Cupbearer who refilled his wine glass. He'd give these out to people in lieu of real power or money and people ate it up. That's sorta like what NFTs are to me

Robert King

Ever been to Bur-bonus Illinois? Otherwise known as Bourbonnais? They like French even less.

Michael S. Judge

Krupp gang Krupp gang Krupp gang Krupp gang, them boys up to something

kelsey

Fantastic episode, among the best all year.

kelsey

Looked into Cockshot, his proposal is this: In our proposal people would be paid not in money but with nontransferable electronic work accounts. Purchases would be made with smart cards as they are today, but with the difference that the only way people could accumulate work credits would be by actually working. The more hours you work the more credits you get. Goods in the shops would then be priced in hours, and the exchange principle is basically one for one. For one hour of work you get goods that took one hour to make. — Paul Cockshott, How the World Works[ How do you calculate the price of software or products that are mass consumed in terms of work hours?

G Bill

missing amber but a classic ep

AbeLinkin

@MKSS33241 pot calling the kettle black here. NFTs are a gross abuse of energy. Spewing soot into the air for what exactly? Perhaps you don’t know everything, but from the sound of your arrogance it may take a few more years to figure that one out.

Ratbones

NFTs will be useful for trading used digital video games, so the ability to play the game follows the NFT when you trade it. It's better than an end-user licence agreement that you can't trade. It won't free people from capitalism, if anything game publishers will eventually be able to syphon off a portion of every subsequent sale of a game. Expect all commercially traded digital content to be represented by NFTs in the future.

Xinic5

I actually had to have an insurance agent explain what equity was when I was 30 and a tree fell on my car. Lol

Eric Rapp

Any knoe what the fuq Felix's "favorite video of all time is"?!

Bob K Ross

JUST GIVE US RARE AMBERS!

rolfesam

Matt finally with the right NFT take — DAOs have promise for making co ops more streamlined and feasible though

etienne

you're telling me that this economist doesnt understand the concept of marginal cost? yeah they should get him on the pod for the first adversarial interview since the Robby Soave disaster

Travis Jones

That Talking Heads at the end? Which song?

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

To paraphrase that Bible verse Dracula was quoting at the end of SotN: For what profiteth a man if he gain the world and burns it to cinders in the process...

etienne

moon rocks

Zenm17

'chinese guy caught in a molasses barrel'

etienne

everybody loves NFTs, a strange device helping artists securitize and monetize their IP *5 seconds later* we just learned that the conctractor artist on an ambitious NFT project has been fleeced out of his fees by the project founders

etienne

guys saw the Team Fortress 2 market crash of 2019 and thought no yeah we need to make sure the supply is controlled

James Browning

Thanks for the shout out to flight attendants Matt! It's a damn warzone on the airplane these days. Our supply line shortages and mask enforcement has people going ape shit. What do you mean no apple juice?!?!?

Mason Coffey

Why is that "likely"? Capitalists own all the goddamn land, are they going to trade it away for jpegs?

Mason Coffey

I like that the issues youre concerned about range from reigning in the wealth of e-celebrities to urgently decapitalizing half of the land in the entire world. Sounds very serious.

saaffie

Uhm, female subscriber reporting for duty, sirs

etienne

are you "the one percent" that bernie was talking about?

saaffie

If you mean by 1%, the American female gen xr living in Europe who phonebanked for Bernie from a distance, then yes, I am. I represent an oppressed minority ;)

Kasz

Mason, you laugh but that's what they did in the UK except instead of a jpeg they get a patronizing title like "Prince Andrew" and all the kids they can eat

Jaymes Grundmann

Lol Pfizer literally just had to recall their anti smoking drug Chantix for causing cancer. They let a drug that caused cancer be on the market for years, I’m sure they’ll be much more responsible with their vaccine that they can’t be held financially responsible for negative side effects 😂😂😂

Evan Scott

why is the aesthetic for all this NFT shit look like the artist just left an MGMT show in 2011. so fuckin corny. truly awful

Yacobum

When matt said "Russia and the uh stupidest idiot on earth" I laughed really hard.

notme

You all fail to see the end game. Decentralized finance removes gatekeepers from traditional finance and autonomous organizations will replace corporations. Ya'll sound like the people that said the internet would never catch on.

Jack Nieker

Thank you Felix for the Tufts shoutout. Go Jumbos!!!

etienne

yeah but is it going to cause 1 million dead in the us

etienne

i hereby award you, honorary "dude's rock"

Solomon

So...no more drugs then? Medicine has never been and will never be perfect. All drugs have side effects. Some take decades to manifest in enough people to be detectable by researchers. You could make this argument about any drug or vaccine. Or you could weigh risk against benefit. And not just benefit to yourself but also to people you come into contact with. I work in healthcare in South Jersey and last year was a fkng nightmare.

Kevin Price

Crypto is fine when I make money off of it, and bad when I lose money on it. Simple as

Ruby Lee

waves! lady wolves reporting for chapo duty. :salutes:

Lesley Anne Noelle

‘fresh’ and ‘challenge’ should never be juxtaposed.

Lesley Anne Noelle

“~Nobody ‘wants’ to work without peeing in uniforms the fabric of the robots we NEED, nor for decent way-ges, like-at-jay-ull !! “

Lesley Anne Noelle

i would like a Felix, well, a Sunday night, no, football, a Tuesday~Nighy~Felix…

Lesley Anne Noelle

let’s confiscate and nationalize everything that Jeff Bezos ‘owns’, and give him a receipt (bcse he doesn’t have a computer) for billions of RANDOM, not yet priced, NFT’s.

Lesley Anne Noelle

I actually like the idea of a Black Friday beginning with pricing guns without the ‘ammo’ of those little plastic tag holders, and separate tags with : separate prices…this is getting into ‘The Purge Before Christmas’ territory, now.

Lesley Anne Noelle

and guess who the ‘Chantix’ spokesperson was? Karen ‘Whoopi’ Goldberg-history doesn’t repeat itself, but somehow…the riffs and licks are familiar as fuck.

Jessica Rios

I laugh at everything Matt says

grimbo

Yah everyone listen to smart Dakota! remember how the internet replaced corporations with autonomous organizations!

Hector Jaime

More on NFTs later, but I find it weird the chapo boys had Adam Curtis on, then turn around and go full conspiracy theorist at the end. There is zero proof that Epstein was murdered (that the powers-that-be knew that a high percentage of prisoners in that situation commit suicide and they made it easy for him to do so is a different story). But to say with 100% confidence that it’s absolutely true is what I often find unnerving about this show. By that logic, covid was 100% created by the CIA too. You have no proof.

Hector Jaime

Why would they bother murdering him when they knew he was going to commit suicide?

Hector Jaime

This! “NFTs break the barrier to entry into the art world.” Sure, if you have $10k to spare to pay all the “gas” fees. “A Radiohead concert is just as damaging to the environment.” But, at least that concert employees thousands of people, many of whom are union members. You’re just adding another thing to the pile while contributing nothing.

PawngWater

Can we have chapo episode NFTs?

Louis Sobol

that quiz is fucking insaaaaane

etienne

you can just publish one. it doesn't matter.

SillyMoose

Anyone who is into Chapo and gets Lulz from NFT bros might enjoy this page called @maincharactersandevents on IG that satirizes NFTs + Biden + Cancel Culture + lib aesthetics so beautifully. It’s a deep dive though.

Jocelyn

sounds like a fucking riot.

Andrew Criscione

Without a frontier and external capital formation, there is self-cannibalizing internal capital formation and societal collapse. American exceptionalism is allowing a cultural revolution to happen to deal with this elite overproduction and keep the empire going. A new frontier is needed, it won't be space. I think it might be diversity/wokeness education/offices, dividing and conquering ethnic groups internally to incentivize labor and drive profit. Otherwise we're all just going to die horribly.

PawngWater

I want one made by the chapo show, that way I know it's real

Justin

I agree with this, thought the same bout trueanon. They’re too willing to just jump all the way in with very little evidence.

Taylor Fredrickson

I work for a DAO. Best job I have ever had, no boss. It is full of incredibly talented and kind people.

Taylor Fredrickson

NFT's are more than just art. They are an immutable resource that will help the most vulnerable on the planet. You can make an NFT of a degree, a deed, identity, whatever and it can never be destroyed. Think about a country that has been ravaged by war, documents and records are destroyed. NFTs fix this, anybody can prove ownership with a phone and internet connection. The potential use for NFTs is really astounding. Dismissing them is pure folly. No different than dismissing the internet in the 90's. Not to mention I can make 1000 bucks a month playing video games. So that's cool

Taylor Fredrickson

Dakota is right. I'm a Marxist have been for a decade. I work for a DAO and I can say, for sure this is by far the closest thing to a socialist co-op on the planet. Completely decentralized. No boss. No wage labor. I get paid based on my contribution and effort. My team leader insists if you think you are paid less than you deserve you say something. I even get paid more than my leader sometimes because I did more. Completely open and free, no discrimination. In fact it's not even possible because we are all pseudonymous and there is no formal hiring process.

Hector Jaime

Explain further how they are helping the most vulnerable. Because I found the barrier to entry very expensive. And the environmental impact is still there. Sorry, but I don’t think it’s the same as dismissing the internet. Not to mention, any criticism is met by proponents with cult-like fervor. Or whataboutisms. People said bitcoin was more than just currency. That the blockchain had all this potential to save the world. It’s yet to materialize.

etienne

well if you make it yourself, wouldn't you be sure it's real?

Hector Jaime

Yeah, I mean it’s a bit of a trick question. “Is it true that Epstein was murdered?” No. “Is it true that Epstein wasn’t murdered?” Also no. But that’s the point; part of conspiratorial thinking is jumping to conclusions, and that’s what that question is trying to get at.

Hector Jaime

And “it’s like dismissing the internet” is the new “it’s like what Hitler did”. No, it’s not like the internet; it’s more like Hadoop.

etienne

I love those conspiracy theories. Im actually a victim myself of several conspiracy-like thought patterns such as "on march 16th 1968 the US military killed 500 civilians in the vietnamese village of My Lai and covered it up" [true; confirmed] and "the Cabal controls every Thing" [no evidence; false]

Jamin Kreighbaum

Yeah, these images have really helped out our most at-risk population: gamers. How are NFTs preserving documents (which themselves prove ownership) in a way that any digital image can not?

Taylor Fredrickson

Jamin, crypto is most popular in power countries, I think Nigeria is number 1 with 30% using crypto on a weekly basis. in the Phillipines an NFT game called Axie Infinity is popular. Thousands of people play as their main source of income and pays better than most jobs in PH A digital image can be faked. For example fake degrees. I can easily buy a fake degree or photoshop a name on someone else's and pass it off, I know people who have done this. An NFT makes this literally impossible because it has an immutable hash attached to it.

James Wallace

This is almost the perfect troll.

absoluteboi

NFT's are garbage, but cryptocurrencies do have the potential to play a significant role is the breaking of US/Western financial hegemony. This is a direct quote from a recent Reuters article "The Treasury warned that countries reducing the use of the U.S. dollar and exposure to the U.S. financial system could erode the effectiveness of sanctions, while digital currencies and other technological innovations also pose a risk to the tool's success. I'm not a fan U.S. sanctions, so that would be a good thing imo. idk about you. Also the actual impact (electricity use) by cryptos is massively overblown by people who just want a reason to bitch about them. Bitcoin is about half of the crypto market, one of the least energy efficient cryptos, and the total annual global share of electricity used by the bitcoin network is about 0.5%. If cryptos were completely banished tomorrow almost zero dent would be made to the global emissions output. The thing about fat americans sitting on their gamer chairs livestreaming 8 hours a day is that they don't realize just how out of whack electricity usage is in the west compared to how much electricity people use in like 90% of the rest of the world. Which makes those bitcoin vs small country energy usage comparisons a rhetorical fallback that appeals to other fat western dummies. If like all of Greece permanently went dark tomorrow, it's not like we'd be any closer to slowing climate change. The biggest source is the US, both commercially and domestically, by orders of magnitudes.

Dexter Harvey

The amount of NFT/crypto losers who listen to chapo is astonishing

triplevalaska

I'm thinking a couple of us need to spend at least 30 mins brainstorming some sort of crypto scam cause it seems like there lot of money out there. I'm clever but computer illiterate that is my ceredintial. 2.9 million spilt a couple ways sounds alright. Evil ape I know I can come with something better

brendan rivers

why are crypto people always telling me that crypto makes [already existing technology] possible? It can save files! It can track banking statements! It can Track ownership of items digitally! Do all of these people live in some sort of paper-transactions-only 1940s throwback society? Do they think that the normal computers can't track who owns items? Or who has money? how do they think banks work? or amazon?

Damen Irving

Perhaps some kind of cryptocurrency backed by the full faith and credit in the insane ramblings of rod Dreher or john kass?
