The biggest impact of digital currencies so far has been the obscene, democracy destroying amounts of money crypto bros spent to help get trump and other corrupt lackeys into office.

This is what the rise of digital currencies is an indicator of, an accelerated process of societal decay.
Your anger should be directed toward the Citizens United ruling, which makes these insane contributions possible in the first place.
FWIW, Elon Musk personally donated more than double that $129M to the Trump campaign—more than double the amount that the entire crypto industry has donated in three election cycles, despite there being a $6.6k campaign contribution limit for individuals per candidate per cycle. That limit shouldn’t be trivial to bypass, and it should be probably be lower. Or, in some fantasy land where America is something like a democracy, elections would be publicly funded with an equal amount given to each candidate.
Don’t hate the player.
I own BTC, and disagree with crypto’s existence.
It may make my life easier to follow along in the mold society takes, even if I disagree with it. It isn’t going away just because of me. The winning team ain’t losing. Then they’d be the losing team… and not winning.
You didn’t need to tell me you own crypto, your post screams “crypto bro” at such screeching decibels that I think you just shattered a wine glass over there.
I do think that would be a superb opening monologue (set to a moody montage) for a skit taking the piss out of naive crypto bros though, well done!
Oh, boy, irrational hatred. Anything else a YouTube video told you to hate that you want to accuse me of being?
Don’t hate the player. Hate the game. If it’s between surviving in this shit world or not, I’ll take a few BTC. Put your morals in the dirt and see if anything grows out of them for all they’re worth.
People are greedy pieces of shit. They vote for it. They reward it. I’m just appealing to human nature. There’s no more good among you than there is me. You want to shun BTC? Fine. Take the long road. Your choice.
