I agree, and just like pure communism, it never will. Both are pure fantasy.

Anarcho mean without leaders, so there's no central decision maker saying "no capitalism". However, social anarchism could only survive is a culture which loathes violence, deception, and coercion. In such a culture, the practice of capitalism would (will) be seen as despicably unethical, sort of the most modern people view outright slavery. We only tolerate subtle and hidden slavery now.

Yep, flag it for the mods.

1. It's not the first of anything, it's the 600-somethingth altcoin.

2. Miner anonymity is a security strength, it's by design! Stellar is reinventing the wheel by making it square. Awful.

3. This belongs in the altcoins subsection.

This!

Quoted for truth.

Fixed that for you. Cryptography and mathematics are not about belief, but about observation.

Each new millionaire the world generates is hoisted up on the backs of a thousand wage slaves. We don't need more of them.

Same reason anyone else would, cash has over a hundred years of legitimacy momentum, bitcoin has five years of being mostly derided by the media and six months of positive.

Homeless shelters for youth, free radical education to as many as possible.

It could happen, but likely only for a fraction of a second if some whale were to dump a wall. Many traders leave open bids down there just in case.

Fiat exchange rate with Bitcoin the 2015 prototype is irrelevant if you're a long term HODLer. What matters is bitcoin's inevitable exchange rate against fiat:



Bitcoin is alive, and it is very hungry. It's a matter of when, not if.

I won't claim to know we can make anarcho-socialism work on the same scale as industrial capitalism,  but I know for a fact that anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron and an impossibility. Capitalism is a hierarchal system using systematic violence to maintain the hierarchy, it is absolutely antithetical to anarchism. In capitalism he with the most wealth rules, always. Capitalism is an invention from the gunpowder age that translates poorly to modern society. Ethics were much simpler back then. Reason urges us forward while our fear change holds us back. For now.

Capitalism is a dead thing walking, propped up by the embalming fluid of never ending debt and austerity. It will be over soon, but not nearly soon enough.

I want a society ruled by reason, we live in a society ruled by the forces of violence, coercion, and mass deception. All justified in the name of sacred profit.

Yes, the USA is flirting with fascism and has been for quite awhile. The corporate elite desperately want to bring back the practice of slavery, only not in name. That's why they moved all their factories to places with abysmal human rights practices (China, India, Bangladesh, and so on). It's as close to slavery as they can get for their labor force, which means max profits. At this point, it's difficult even for the brainwashed masses not to recognize that the corporates care for nothing other than maximizing profit at the expense of everyone and everything around them.

You mistake me for a socialist. I'm not a socialist, I'm not pro big government. I'm a social-anarchist. Imagine you were transported back in time 150 years with your current knowledge, how would the world look to you? Ass-backwards. That's kind of what it feels like for young people who see the world very accurately today. We see a society bordering on dystopia, a civilization of misery.

I see a civilization with potential, one that has become so adept at reason in the last few hundred years that it no longer needs violence to govern itself. The only problem is, we don't know it yet. Or rather we stubbornly refuse to accept our nature as deeply compassionate primates. We are disconnected from this ancient self-knowledge, the language much older than words.

We've been governing by simple violence for ten thousand years, but reason is new. Reason is difficult and messy and complex. Even still, it has transformed our society completely and will continue to do so until our world ceases to be governed by violence at the highest levels. Or until the world as we know it ceases to exist as a result of state violence (nukes), whichever comes first.

Yours in compassion and solidarity,

P.S.
Do you know what "social justice warriors" were called 150 years ago? Abolitionist fascist yankees, dead set on destroying the South. Miraculously, the south survived.
Today we're called commie bleeding-heart queer fascists, dead set on destroying america, jesus, and the family. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The perma-HODLers do understand what bitcoin is, that is why we hold. Price does matter, but only if/when you are unloading btc. More transactions is great but it doesn't tell us all that much about activity unless you control for the most frequently used wallets. Yes, it is growing. In truth, this is the only graph that ever mattered:

Like most libertarians, this person completely fails to accurately conceive how a capitalism without democracy would feel.

Cryptocurrency is the democratization of money, terrible for a select few people, great for everyone else on the planet.

Unfortunately for everyone, both oil and nuclear power are profit-driven enterprises. They are poisoned by the disease of capitalism.

This one is correct. The Nazis were fascists in practice and "national socialists" in name Only.  This is basic shit folks, learn your terms if you're going to include yourselves in the conversation. Fascism is the collusion of governments with businessmen. It is a form of tyranny because the government is not operating in the interests of the people it is supposed to serve, but instead operating in the private interests of the political elite. Capitalism compels selfish men toward this end.

Any earnest student of history should by now see clearly that democracy and capitalism are fundamentally incompatible with one another.

FTFY

If you had followed my advice, it wouldn't be bothering you right now.

Don't you get it? We radicals have already won. The capitalists handed us the game when you let the wealth concentrate at the top for the second century in a row.

We have the hearts and minds of the youth, you have the hearts and minds of the aging and dying. It's only a matter of time now, you've lost. Hey, don't feel bad, capitalism had a good run. Gave us modern medicine, computers, internet, two worldwide wars, weaponized sub-atomic physics, and the most infamous holocaust in history (shoutout to all you neofascist fuckwits, please kill yourselves).

That'll be hard to top, but I'm confident humanity is up to the task.

Just checking in to remind everyone that it's still awesome and amusing that reddit banned the oil shills from r/science. Suck it, conservatards.
