He wrote an article titled "bitcoin is evil". He mostly just seems confused about how bitcoin works but dislikes it anyway because it has a "libertarian agenda" He quotes Charlie Stross who says >BitCoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind—to damage states ability to collect tax and monitor their citizens financial transactions. he says: >Stross doesn’t like that agenda, and neither do I but qualifies that statement by saying it doesn't affect his opinion of bitcoin in of itself. In my opinion these goals, if bitoin had them, would be admirable and if bitcoin is an effective tool what's the problem? If Krugman is so unsure about how bitcoin works, why does he hate it so much? https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2 013/12/28/bitcoin-is-evil/

Paul Krugman is the Thomas Friedman of economics. Self esteem issues, infected with amnesiac psychobabble that seethes topical and lacks substance beyond political cuckery news of the day. I mean, these two faggots in this picture unironically served more war march neo liberalism cuckfoolery koolaid than most. Wager that beyond each other's diseased loads in their mouths, both of them are hodling ETH and BTC.

>>28760039 >>28760779 This is why no decent economist throws predictions like they were gospel. It's known that the economy can't be fully measured and given circumstances many things can change rapidly. This moron predicted that Trump would sink the economy and before covid it was probably the best since before the housing crisis. He's not a serious source of anything and thinks having a nobel prize gives him the right to have say on anything, regardless of his knowledge on the subject.

>>28757244 checked; both he and his cronies such as yanis varoufakis use. the argument that bitcoin is bad mkayy but blockchain is good. which is complete and total bullshit since bitcoin incentivizes decentralization by being a tokenized ledger. blockchain without the incentives to cooperative decentralisation is just a shared database. these cunts don't understand blockchain tech, or even worse they do understand it and want to subvert it because it hurts their (((owners)))

No doubt, there are a lot of young and gullible sycophants who would've just been happy that they got to meet their idol. Are you still an economic leftist? and if so, aren't you scared crypto will just strengthen capitalism and create a new, stronger, less controllable market economy (just like the lolberts like me who've always supported it hoped it would)? I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. I think there are genuinely good people on both sides and you seem pretty smart.

>>28767762 i'm anti corruption and pro-decentralization. used to identify as an anarcho capitalist with socialist safety nets on the absolute basics such as imfrastructure and healthcare until i realized these labels are all retarded. i now serve the decentralization agenda with all my heart and believe in nothing else. decentralization is my religion. if we decentralize energy, economics, food production and manufacturing, we can create a side-chain (in blockchain terms) of an economy that is only reliant on current systems as a settling chain. tldr fuck centralized power regardless of political spectrum

The reason R*dditors like you love them so much is they give you a warm safety blanket that academics are bosses (girl bosses, even) who have everything figured out, when we really don't know what the fuck we're actually doing.
