Gee I hope people are working on truly decentralised open source alternatives.
Gifting cryptocurrency to the fascists and crypto bros has been a massive fumble from the left.
They can have it, crypto is shit at being an actual working currency.
We can literally design entirely new mechanisms. Redefine money. Local exchange trading systems with local currencies, new monetary systems and elastic mechanisms that are compatible with open governance. Global mutual credit systems. Shift towards bottom-up. Anti-capitalist. Mutualism. The Agora. Now we get to do Elysium instead.
I assume by being an ‘actual working currency’ you’re talking about speed for instant payments which isn’t a hard problem.
there is zero legitimate use for crypto so it was always going to be for fascists
Resisting the vc backed techno-fuedal global fascist network states is a pretty big one.
But there are plenty of use cases, many of which are already in use.
