In this video Bitcoin Mechanic explains how Monero's main competitor Bitcoin Core became infected with Woke, and why that endangers Bitcoin's long-term survival.

Some say "Code is Code", but that is childish thinking, and not how the world actually works.

FOSS commits are political, and always have been.

So just for my understanding as I'm not a native English speaker, the whole Trump shit and follower are regarded woke?

Edit: so, if I got this right (at least that makes the most sense to me), woke are people believing in conspiracy theories and think all others are sheeple?
Like for example all the idiots using e.g. bleach and ivermectin to "cure" it, say masks don't help and everything is a hoax.

Is this right?

Im more worried about the gigantic toll crypto takes on energy infrastructure. Just like "AI"

what exactly are you worried about? So long as we generate more energy (preferably via nuclear + wind + solar) who cares?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We don't have that capacity right now and wasting energy on that, takes away energy from useful things.

Also nuclear isn't a good option long therm, and short therm it isn't either.

People are political. If you do anything with more than one person you're playing politics.

We should be happy for all the allies, all the mutual interest, all of our fair weather fellows. Regardless of where they hail from, we're all promoting the same

one of the few good uses for cryptocurrency is for trans people to buy hormones for themselves and others without needing a doctor. advanced wokeism and crypto go hand in hand

crypto is anarchistic and doesn't care about your petty personal politics.

Bitcoin is apolitical, you can buy your hormones to your trans kids, meanwhile Russia or North Korea trade using Bitcoin.

No thanks I would rather not be surveilled on my transactions when I buy my test supplement. Monero works better.
