It seems that crypto bros have begun to raid lemmy recently, and for raid i mean that yhey just have been coming in big quantities, since the other day i was talking bad about crypto and got downvoted a lot, which is weird since i thought most people here didnt like it since the fiasco of past 3 years on crypto and blockchain, and i got a lot of comments deffending it too.

Many are coming from reddit (another communist hellhole). State worshipers hate crypto because it is a tool for freedom. It peacefully rips the power over money from state control and by extension banker control, since the bankers fully own the bloated communist state that we have in all developed nations today.

By all means, go get scammed with crypto. Meanwhile the rest of us are living in the real world where not a single developed western nation is a communist state.

They all have income tax and a central bank, two primary pillars of communism.

You should stay away from crypto, with your level of intelligence you would lose it all in a week.

I don't think you know what communism is, but you're not going to listen to anyone that explains it are you?

As I said, you have a surface level understanding of communism. You know some general tropes and feel good half-baked intellectual points you absorbed while falling asleep in your communist infiltrated university general studies classes.

I have done deep research on the topic and at it's core communism is a demonic system which infiltrates, corrupts, takes control, then enacts total dehumanization and murder.

I really don't like cash.

It's just too vulnerable to theft and robbery.

I think Monero is better than cash. Would love to see that get more use in these kind of settings.

Cash still should always be an option. Many people do not have access to anything but cash.

I agree with the idea and I don't have this reaction else where but when I see the cash only signs in food places it just makes me jump to tax evasion. Don't know why it's only food places that give me that feeling.

Taxes is immoral and based on violence and oppression, so evading it is the right thing to do.

Now you're just trying to make people mad at you

No, just the usual result of speaking truth to slaves.

Someone doesn't want to pay fees or taxes. Privacy is just a convenient excuse

I was wondering... how much does a credit company know if I pay with my cc? Do they know every detail of my lunch menu? If so, that does have something to do with privacy, I'm not very comfortable. If they just know the total amount I pay, then I wouldn't mind too much, though.

I'm not sure that has to do with privacy and more like "help us avoid paying income taxes." No one denies that cash is completely anonymous, but that's not the intent here. This is coming from a huge advocate for privacy, but to me this is a stretch.

lol that’s a tax evader, they save 20% and you save 10%, it’s the good old Italian tradition of “you don’t really need a receipt do you”

This would be illegal some places.

Yes, in communist hellholes.
