Think Progress believes Bitcoin is racist...

[FreedomCoin]

To truly find freedom, peace and a lasting change in humanity, we must relinquish our greed based society for one structured around love and sharing.  The greatest advancements in human history await the day we act as the family that we are, that is when we will truly reap the rewards of what we are seeking.

Best part of this thread.

It is absolutely stunning to see self righteous anger these self styled progressives can build up.  I get the opportunity to watch this every day living in western Washington.  Interestingly the author claims that even though they have been wronged by the traditional banking system, the "unprivileged" would not want to to try a decentralized form of financial services.  Interestingly she leaves out the fact that government meddling in the traditional financial sector, promoting the increase in subprime lending precipitated a major financial crisis.  This crisis disproportionately affected those of lower means.  Instead she rails against things like payday lenders as if they are somehow comparable to bitcoin.  She also conveniently leaves out the presence of bitcoin communities in China and South America.  Last time I checked, there were not a bunch of non Hispanic white men in these areas.  Including individuals in these communities would unfortunately skew her numbers making her case for bitcoin as racist tool narrative incorrect.  All in all, the author is sadly ignorant about bitcoin.  Our banks touched off a global financial crisis and they still exist.  One bitcoin related service collapses and the author is about to piss herself with glee because thinks it proves her most hated demographic wrong, the white male. 

Ultimately, selling victim hood is a big business.  In a country such as the US, with a large diverse population, you prop up a group like white males, as some omnipresent boggie man, and then market literature promoting said stance to the rest of people.  I can't believe it hasn't been noted yet, but Think Progress is run by the center for american progress action fund.  This is the political funding arm of billionaire banker George Soros.  If I had to speculate, I would say this is simply a hit piece by a author who knows who pays for her dinner.

It's interesting that Soros is not to anyone's knowledge meddling with bitcoin.  Probably doesn't / can't understand it.

Soros = CAP = Tprogress = Hit piece, calling bitcoiners racists, thus Soros = hit piece on bitcoin community with proxy puppet. Yes he is aware of it and wants to discredit it while "he is not to anyone's knowledge meddling with bitcoin"

Center for American Progress is a broader base group than Soros, it's where the current White House gangsters basically came from.

If we are seeing a shaping up of the beginnings of an orchestrated sentiment here along the lines of the....

"progressive left = bitcoin is evil"

...that is interesting...

What is the most amazing thing is, not knowing anything about bitcoin way back when,  I really thought it was a "product" from Occupy Wall Street (the smart ones, not the ones under the tent called "rape free zone)*
"Those lefties created bitcoin I am sure. They will use it to make OWS desires a reality" I used to think. Then I got into it and realized it was beyond any policital movement but a true paradigm shift if its potential is trully realized.. ANYWAY

Now it seems the progressives (the one in power and the one on TV, maybe not those here who believe in BTC) are actually defending the banksters, no matter what. How strange. Maybe I am reading this wrong...

I sort of doubt Soros would be anti-Bitcoin, considering how much anti-communist, anti-Totalitarian, and anti-shitty-government currency he is. My guess is he would still be undecided about it at this point.
Soros is not quite the boogie man the far right media paints him to be.

He is definitely anti-not-my-kind-of-communism, anti-not-my-kind-of-totalitarianism and so forth.  Obviously, he has worked with Obama to instigate totalitarian control systems in the USA.

He has always worked to subvert the US Constitution and has not a bit of respect for it.

People think the SATs are racist because they "use words designed to confuse minorities". If you can claim this and get people to believe it, you can claim anything is racist.

Source? From what I read about him, his actions, and the way things were reported about him, I got the sense that he viewed the Republican right as control-your-life corporatist big government crony types, and supported the more liberal side. I agreed with him: of the two sides, Republicans and Democrats, the Republicans have seemed way more imperialist, totalitarian, and downright crazy over the last decade. Moreso than democrats. And since he was supporting democrats and opposint republicans, the far right media painted him as some crazy socialist, communist, antibusiness boogieman type, despite him putting a ton of effort into undermining communist and totalitarian regimes. I always thought it was rather funny and ironic that Fox News pundits called him an Obama supporting communist, considering how much effort and finance he contributed to the downfall of USSR, and how anticommunist he is.

What you've typed above is in no way descriptive of Soros's career.  What I have bolded above in your post is ridiculous.  What you've spun off my comments is inaccurate.  See my bolded statement.

Most of the first Prius owners were white males. Should we all avoid buying a Prius because of the racial makeup of its early adopters?

Tesla?

The Internet?

I'm not totally sure, but I guess most people buying suntan lotion are white. Maybe the cosmetic firms which produce them are racist, too.

The black kings and emperors of Africa never freed their slaves.

The White President of the US, Lincoln, did.
