It’s honestly hard to comprehend how Mike Brock could work at Square/Block/TBD literally building decentralized identity products, and reporting to @jack and have these opinions.

Thanks @Guy Swann for the rebuttal episode. That article is truly mind boggling. Some of the comments on the original post that are wrecking my brain: - “Bitcoin is absolutely for fascists. It is for the libertarian mindset” - “As a practical matter, I assume anything the T Rump family gets involved in is actually nothing more than a grift” - “Why are bitbros so obsessed with transaction speed? Because that's about all blockchain can offer - along with burning ridiculous amounts of power” - 🤣 “I am also happy for human rights activists who use it to defend against de-banking by authoritarian regimes. But one must take stalk of the society-level and civilizational-scale implications” - “Since it's inception, it doesn't obey even the most fundamental laws of what constitutes money that we're taught at school”
