It's amusing to see these kind of statements from the decentralized no goverment/no authorities crowd. To quote RKL:

Well it's anarchy, fuck the cops Of course, how else, through peace. But when the looters come to kick your ass I bet you cry "Police!"

I see this meme and I don't get it

Why do you think this studio was a no government no authorities crowd?

I havent seen anything from Axie or its founders that suggested that, my assumption is that you see one word or one piece of technology that overlaps with the aspirations of completely different people that are anarchists, whats your assumption?

I meant the general web3/cryptobro crowd

[vmception]

Then maybe just ignore those people and let the people running businesses just do what they need to do, like issue empty PR damage control statements like any hacked organization will do

Lets make fun of them just like we were making fun of Okta’s response over Lapsus

No need to project your own cognitive dissonance

Not sure why you felt the need to insult me but that won't lead to useful discussions...

Okay what word would you prefer to call “two competing and conflicting beliefs” and what are your actual thoughts on the rest of what I wrote?

[erdeszt]

What do you mean by "two competing and conflicting beliefs"?

What other value is there in cryptocurrency over traditional money?

> What other value is there in cryptocurrency over traditional money?

Collecting a bunch of it and using it like traditional money including earning more of it as well as converting it to traditional money simply because this market sector is hot and you can make a lot of money

Focus on what you can control, there is zero need to adopt ideology to use it, and there is zero need to project your thoughts on it to rationalize sticking with less lucrative things

Traditional money as in cash? Mailing cash to someone on the other side of the world is not ideal. Trusting PayPal or Stripe to not arbitrarily freeze your account because they think you’re making too much money too quickly is not ideal. Having to show ID to send or receive a money order is not ideal.

That doesn’t mean I don’t condone the government prosecuting thieves who steal crypto.

These are all benefits from lack of authority.
