Феерически смешная статья про то, что биткоин - заговор ультра-правых белых либертарианцев и угроза демократии.

Характерные цитаты:
Paul claims to want the abolition of the Fed and a return to the Gold Standard, as if this would result in the kind of absolute economic freedom libertarians demand, which is itself a line of argument with deep connections to racist conspiracy theories in which both Pauls have
long been implicated.
Precisely because it is outside of regulatory structures, Bitcoin is particularly prone to the kinds of hoarding, dumping, derivation, and manipulation that characterize all instruments
that lack central bank control and regulatory oversight by bodies like the SEC.
Without direct regulatory structures that prevent an
instrument from being used as an investment (aka ‘hoarding’), any instrument (even
gold) will be subject to derivation, securitization, and ultimately extreme boom-andbust
cycles that central banks are tasked to prevent.

Не то, чтобы я был фанатом биткоина (золото в качестве денег таки лучше), но этот автор вообще не понимает, что такое "деньги".
