it's also at the same time libertarian political project that aims to, how they put it, "separate money from state", which is in itself absurd, but not for libertarians, because their only problem with capitalism is that they're not on the top. crypto is an attempt to "fix" that "problem". see also doings of peter thiel, curtis yarvin, urbit,

first they build a place with no state interference and then they learn hard way why there's so many financial regulations. sometimes it's deliberate and it's a way to use novelty to repackage old financial crimes to deflect responsibility long enough to fuck off to Dubai. sometimes it's scams all the way and scammer already lives in North Korea
