Hey, libertarian "hackers"! If you actually want to make a difference stop messing with cryptocurrencies and make P2P networked chat. This is the kind of thing actually oppressed people need. Cryptocurrency is basically just cash without any of the regulatory benefits anyway. P2P networked chat is actually subversive stuff.

There are a lot of potential benefits of cryptocurrency. And why can't we have both?

Because there's a limited amount of ideologically motivated programmer man-hours available?

There has been tons of work done on mesh nets and secure messaging apps. It's not like it's been ignored.
