All the criticism on Bitcoin would be a lot more reasonable if banks weren't increasingly unbanking dissidents (and central banks weren't printing civilization into poverty).<p>The window of acceptable speech is only going to narrow until everyone is toeing the party line in order to have access to food, shelter and banking. Until they introduce mandatory internet passports I will happily take the insane volatility of Bitcoin over kowtowing to stern ideologues advancing towards their goal of absolute conformity under the banner of tolerance. It's trans/feminism today and some arbitrary other thing tomorrow but the common denominator will always be exploiting our culture's unassailable values like tolerance, sexual freedom and racial guilt in order to justify any measure. Even if this appears to be a honest intervention for the betterment of society, it should be clear from the nature and trajectory of contemporary social justice activism that no amount of conformity will ever be satisfactory, and everyone will be crushed by this machine.
