Crab Dad posted:My piece of poo poo fence hopping, wetback grandpa only got papers for marriage to another Hispanic born here and he slipped into the Trump sphere and has said the most vile things about migrants. To forget your roots so completely and cheer on the dehumanizing of a people only wanting to survive is just the lowest. Here's a long article on that kind of thing that might explain a bit of all that stuff. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/11/17/trump-latinos-south-texas-tejanos-437027 It's not just white people that surrender to gently caress you, got mine-ism. The same "kids have it so easy, back in MY day" people are some of the same people that will go "well back when *I* broke the law to come here" during the next bout of caravan fever. Assimilated racism maybe? It's real, real complicated mental poo poo, but sorry your grandpa's a dehumanizing shitbag.

Elon is replying to people posting straight up white supremacist talking points now. He's also questioning the sources for the guy being a white supremacist.  Which made me think of that.

(Even while 94 percent of Zapata residents count their ethnicity as Hispanic/Latino on the census, 98 percent of the population marks their race as white.) Their Hispanicness is almost beside the point to their daily lives." “I think when people say they don’t like Mexicans, to me it means a Mexican citizen, or a Mexican national, who has crossed illegally,” says Barrera, the Starr County Republicans chair. “And then again, not all Mexicans look alike. So when they say they don’t like Mexicans, I don’t think it means me. … It means a Mexican national who has broken the law.” Delusional assholes who dont think that actual white supremist see them as light-skinned gamerwords. The article is very right about them being highly conservative by nature due to religions and culture (especially the most recent arrivals).

Just last week there was a guy in my neighborhood that wanted to set up a "crypto club" to get people interested and to "teach" them about how great crypto is. Now I need to remember which platform they posted on so I can ask how this latest debacle will be weathered by crypto.

It was made so a toy train enthusiast could buy the good poo poo from the UK and get it shipped to California without jumping through currency exchange hoops or getting murdered on exchange rate shenanigans that were standard in the 00s. The unscrupulous types of the world just recognized its potential for criminal use which prompted the train enthusiast to delete everything he had related to it.

bring back the good old days where we just bought grey market drugs via liberty reserve transfers and the like honestly it was usually less of a hassle than bitcoin, because the operators had an actual economic incentive to make the service usable instead of mostly trying to raise the speculative value of an inherently worthless asset

I keep thinking the same thing. This morning, my wife said something that made me pause. Her response to this latest fiasco was, "who cares, it's just fake money like everything else." I think that rationale is exactly why these exchanges continue to endure. For many, there is no difference between the current economic system and crypto, it is just a different flavor. She went on to compare crypto to the Discover card, "THAT currency isn't accepted everywhere, but we don't call it fake." I don't agree with it, but I see how they connect the dots. Crypto supporters have woven this fabric in such a way that normal people can and will "connect the dots" into becoming a true believer.

The bottom line is that fiat currencies can be used for anything and they're worth something because the governments say so and said governments are backed up by armies, with guns, and allies, and everyone is mostly in broad agreement. And governments can only do so much with their own currencies until inflation/deflation happens. Crypto currencies can be used for ????? and they are worth ????? because ????? and said valuations are backed up by ????? and everyone is ????? and inflation/deflation is oh gently caress I triple mortgaged my house and my crypto is worth half what I paid help what do I do The one big alternative to either that always comes up are goldbugs - that gold can be used for ?? and are worth ?? because OOH SHINY and said valuations are backed up by IT'S SO loving SHINY and everyone is oh gently caress this deflation is so loving brutal dear gently caress this was a mistake gently caress me Cryptopushers and "well, it's just paper fiat" don't really track the above.

That and even crypto fans don't use or treat it like currency: They treat it like a security like a stock. They don't even understand the difference. They also don't understand the basics of stock trading, this is obvious when you heard the poo poo like 'hodl' and 'to the moon' without understand that the purpose of holding stock is to eventually sell it to make money when the value increases.

More hilariously, some "privacy focused" people created a cryptocurrency called Monero that has, as part of its transaction system, built-in mandatory money laundering. Needless to say, it's considered to be of extremely ill repute and is almost exclusively used for buying illegal poo poo on the darknet.
