RE: Will Blockchain Tech Lead to Next Cival War? - The Decentralization of Power & Wealth
LOL Ron Paul is one of the reasons that alt-right exists. And seriously, voluntarism? That debate is over, Piketty's statistics on that (published in 2013) proved that it doesn't work.
This is by no means against crypto-currency or blockchains, it's against this libertarian dystopian ignorance Ron Paul so much likes to spread.
Blockchain is a form of voluntarism my friend. A bit of a contradiction to be a proponent of decentralization but not voluntarism.
Enlighten me please, my friend. How is it voluntarism?
Voluntarism dictates that all forms of human interactions should be voluntary. In blockchain, as a human, you're relying on the algorithm (i.e. codes on a set of rules), which is the authority in this scenario; and how it works is agreed upon by multiple parties.
You know what else is a set of rules that is agreed upon by multiple parties? A government (at least in theory; but if you aren't happy with the practice, then this is about how it works, not the definition).
Piketty lays claim to the intellectual traditions of Karl Marx, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
Fair enough; but the difference with Marx is that Piketty uses data, A LOT OF data. Reading those statistics changed my view on economy, I must say.
Your comments are appreciated despite of our fundamental disagreements.
Same here, always interesting to talk to people with different opinions
