Has there ever been a Lib who wandered in here and made actually good arguments or at least tried to actually back up their claims? (hexbear.net)

I feel like I've actually encountered some Libs IRL and in other online spaces who at least sounded more intelligent. Every one that wanders in here just insists that their right, cites Wikipedia, and tries to troll people like a 14 year old who stole their moms laptop.

You think we'd occasionally get a somewhat more articulate one there but I've yet yo see it.

One of the early Bitcoin arguments was that it would help marginalized people in the global south who were cut off from traditional banking.

Fast forward to fairly recently, when some people in Palestine are using crypto to receive aid, Binance cut off access when Israel asked. No court orders necessary. Turns out crypto is easier to freeze than money in traditional banking.

Like pretty much everything else in internet funny money, it's a bunch of bullshit and anything will be said to pump for the next dump.
