Your rant is not contrarian for Western imperialists who don't want another financial system competing with their current hegemony.

That's why crypto is hated by Westerners while most others have neutral to positive opinions of it generally.

And the transaction fees argument and time needed for confirmation doesn't even make sense? Wikipedia doesn't need to pay any fees to accept crypto and it's not like they're a business which needs the money a second after the transaction. Even if they did need it that quickly, there are plenty of choices in crypto that settle much faster than Bitcoin, which they used.

I definitely agree with your stance that we should exclude people from things because it's inconvenient. This is why I don't support accessibility measures in any domain.

I don't even understand what your point is? Wikipedia doesn't have to pay fees to accept crypto? They could keep other payment options too, no one said credit cards should not be allowed. They could just provide the address for the centralised exchange and sell it for cash with minimal problems.

What I'm finding out is that people have a bad case of Dunning-Kruger when it comes to crypto and it's usually privileged Westerners who don't care if other people are included or not. Just straight up racists.

That's not what was said. You said even if the coins are transferred to another wallet, it could be tracked to a new reddit account. It can't.

I think @[email protected] has already made a good point regarding your example.

I'm not judging you or anything, just that the appreciation could have been shown without comparing it to Sync. It can come off as a bit combative, when you didn't mean it like that.

Is downloading people human trafficking?

Socialism is actually full daddy-state.

Communism would be a stateless existence.

How is this related to crypto?

I think my parents might have watched it as kids!

What are you using for sync? I use Nextcloud and haven't had any sync issues.

Literally same setup!

The only thing I know is that this is the Dukes of Hazzard flag. Loved that movie!

I'm just throwing the example back at the commenter?

If you want to use state sponsored violence to curb one behaviour, why not another that can have an equally good effect?

Or are you saying that starving children is less of a concern than fireworks and definitely less important than cats?

I'm not that offended, tone doesn't carry well over text. It's just a tired excuse of my pets get scared so fireworks should be banned.

Your pets are not the centre of the world!
