If you actually read this article in full, it seems quite inane to me.<p>&gt;Now you have actual Nazi groups being in favor of Bitcoin. Weev, one of the biggest Nazi leaders worldwide is into it. There&#x27;s a great Twitter account that tracks Weev’s Bitcoin wallet, every transaction coming out of it, along with those of some other neo-Nazis.<p>It doesn&#x27;t seem important that someone you dislike, nazi or not, uses a currency. Many of the world&#x27;s worst criminals and killers use the US dollar. It doesn&#x27;t matter.<p>&gt;that “the world will ultimately have a single currency,” which to me is a conspiratorial belief.<p>It doesn&#x27;t have to be Bitcoin. I don&#x27;t think anyone important seriously thinks Bitcoin in its current state can be a world currency. But you might be surprised what happens in the next few decades or 100 years from now as far as a world currency goes.<p>&gt;There is at least a hint there of “illegitimate&#x2F;parasitic profit takers interfering with an otherwise-honest transaction,” which is a classic form of anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.<p>At this point I don&#x27;t think this article is worth taking seriously. I&#x27;m not sure how you can read lines like this that imply rent-seeking is an &quot;anti-semitic conspiracy theory&quot; and continue on thinking this article is worth your time. Even if other points of the article are better than this, I still expect better content on HN

If this wasn&#x27;t PR for a book, I&#x27;d think it was a satire of how someone on the left, who hates Bitcoin, would describe it.
