> But basically, Varoufakis doesn't believe people should have personal financial freedom.

In his own words, he believes those who love personal freedom shouldn't tolerate capitalism, from first principles (from TFA). Later, he states that personal digital wallets would benefit individuals and increase freedom by cutting off banks and their rent-seeking using exclusive central bank accounts.

His position is that Bitcoin and the current state of cryptocurrency are incapable of defeating the ills of capitalism, contrary to pro-crypto boosters claims.

I don't think most bitcoin maxis would claim bitcoin can fix capitalism. Any more than gold could fix capitalism.

Hard money is the least bad option. The universe is still cruel, and life is unfair.

The irony is that communist states love gold, and bitcoin.

Venezuela, like usual for marxist states, confiscates valuables from individuals that manage to squirrel some. Bitcoin, bitcoin miners, whatever can be confiscated and operated to provide hard currency for the government.

Beware those who will help you, by denying you freedom.
