This article was written by a centralized bank that received huge tax payer bailouts in 2008 because their executives were too busy fucking over the average American.
Obligatory fuck psypost. The most click bait, sensationalized headlines for small sample correlational studies that almost always have a divisive basis, like “democrats are better at x than republicans,” or “men are better at x than women” or some shit. I got so sick of seeing it on the front page of reddit every single day because there were ten different subs reposting the same articles.
Sounds like nothing’s changed
Well something did change. It is no longer 2008.
People who invest in bitcoin aren’t much better.
DeFi was supposed to be a rad lefty thing in its conception. Conservatives can truly ruin anything.
reverse midas-touch 🤣
Everything they touch turns to the gold standard
Rad-lefty?
Rich people can hoard their money without the government?
How much further right can you get?
That’s a very small frame you’re prompting me to respond within. Fiat currency is a big complex issue and every attempt to subvert it is also necessarily complex
Yes, but rich people have, at the end of the day, been at the mercy of the state for currency and protection, and the state can shift left and right.
Once they are free from the state for currency, there is only protection left, and they can buy that, with their currency.
I’m on crypto because I see which way the wind is blowing, and it’s blowing away from anyone with less than $50m by the end of the decade.
It was never a “lefty thing”. It was a right wing libertarian thing from its inception, and that hasn’t changed at all.

Yeah… Almost like those “moral foundations” are what you would expect of the third reich.
Probably just a coincidence, though.

But does it really surprise you? Sounds spot on to me.

It’s related because according to the study, those are the core beliefs of the people who like crypto.

Okay fair enough, it’s a better description but I think a bit splitting hairs.

Sounds correct to me.
That sounds like “the righteous mind” bs. It included purity as a core value.
Crypto itself isn’t an issue. My view has always been that it wasn’t meant to be an investment, but a currency. The issues are the grifters and loons that promote this as an investment.
And incidentally, the rampant speculation around them has rendered them mostly worthless as a currency due to the high fluctuations in price
The most obnoxious people I’ve ever met were all conspiracy loonie right wing crypto bros
That explains a lot actually.
FFS, make SHIB’s value to $0.01!
Idk feels a bit like propaganda to me, crypto is the closest to a socialist currency you can get; instead of one or 2 super banks controlling all the money its divided throughout the people.
but then again this study has no (and obviously couldn’t easily) bias control for such a factor
Crypto is a pyramid scheme. It’s not currency.
Anything under capitalism is a pyramid scheme, its just most noticeable when its more sharp of a pyramid
