RE: Progress LFTL #1

I'm thrilled to find a fellow RBE advocator on here. I didn't think there were very many, but it seems I'm not alone :) I wish more of them would migrate to this platform, I feel like it could be quite beneficial.

Well hello there! Nice to see another friendly face! I'm sure they'll all be here in time. Most don't want to accept that crypto will be the stepping stone to a free society. But I think it's inevitable. ☺💗

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Generally I see people who are my flavor of lefty/anarchist making fun of crypto or ancaps. To be clear - I am not ancap; I am anti-capitalism in general. But it's not like we're going to burn capitalism to the ground and wake up in a money-free paradise in one fell swoop. I believe crypto is the big stepping stone to get us to a resource-based economy, big time. Some don't want to believe it yet, but I think as blockchain tech in general becomes more mainstream, more will accept it.

I don't see a lot of people making fun of it, but very few seem to embrace it. I know of only a couple groups, like Envienta, who have really embraced it with a goal of bettering humanity. I can see both sides, but I really like how many people are pro decentralization with blockchain. I think it will eventually make most capitalistic systems obsolete, because everyone will be close to self-sufficient.

I see a lot of mocking memes on Facebook. I'm always like, "Please go read The Age of Cryptocurrency and educate yourself."

Huh. I guess that's sort of that nature of social media though, different isolated silos. I have a lot of friends who are very pro-crypto, so that's what I often see.

I certainly hope they'll embrace it. Though I have seen a lot of well thought out critiques of crypto. I'm cautiously optimistic, as I hope it will eventually lead people to the understanding that all currency is basically pointless. When people realize how much of a waste of energy and resources currency is, maybe they'll actually embrace that we can move beyond it as a species.

Most people have no idea how our current monetary system even works. Plus, it's been around longer than anyone alive can remember.
I get the trepidation, but if people want real change, this is one way it can happen. 😊

That reminds me of this quote from Henry Ford:

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

That's very true. I just hope it doesn't lead to yet another transactional system. I worry that eventually everything could become transactional, all aspects of human existence and the world. I don't like the concept of putting finite value on things and only thinking in numbers. It could go well if that system uses entropy, and natural order as the transaction system, but that could only happen of blockchain moves away from being all about currency.
