Just to reiterate the point about "naive libertarians/bitcoiners," let us not forget that someone invented a bitcoin ripoff and called it Ponzicoin that, not only gained rather frightening amounts of support, but generated a great deal of outrage when the founder just moonwalked away with the money.

The r/bitcoin thread from when that happened is a thing of beauty. A few people saying, "What did you expect from something called Ponzicoin?" and a bunch of the suckers complaining that the scam the guy was running wasn't the same as the scam he said he was running.

If you go back a few pages, you should be able to find a wealth of discussion about private charity and mutual aid societies. I think you might have better luck engaging with the specific arguments people have already made regarding how those things worked out historically.

Purestrain goldmine this thread.

Is it possible to send this one to the LF Goldmine? It may have resided in D&D, but in its heart of hearts this thread was, truly, The Most LF.
