« Web1: read, and dream of a post-scarcity world
Web2: read / write, and dream of a connected world
Web3: read / write / create artificial scarcity by burning down the planet so you can sell monkey jpgs sales receipts in an elaborate pyramid scheme, and dream of getting rich
I have a vague feeling somewhere along the line something went wrong with this whole internet project »

« I wish all companies who embrace NFTs and crypto a very lose all your money and die »
« discord destroyed irc, reddit and twitter destroyed phpbb forums, facebook destroyed blogs. all are investing in cryprocurrency flimflam. you think it's because they want to build a decentralized web controlled by the people? they're the fuckers who DISMANTLED the one we HAD »
« After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.
Despite claims of “decentralization”, the cryptocurrency industry is controlled by a powerful cartel of wealthy figures who, with time, have evolved to incorporate many of the same institutions tied to the existing centralized financial system they supposedly set out to replace.
The cryptocurrency industry leverages a network of shady business connections, bought influencers and pay-for-play media outlets to perpetuate a cult-like “get rich quick” funnel designed to extract new money from the financially desperate and naive.
Financial exploitation undoubtedly existed before cryptocurrency, but cryptocurrency is almost purpose built to make the funnel of profiteering more efficient for those at the top and less safeguarded for the vulnerable.
Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today's capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person.
Lose your savings account password? Your fault.
Fall victim to a scam? Your fault.
Billionaires manipulating markets? They’re geniuses.
This is the type of dangerous “free for all” capitalism cryptocurrency was unfortunately architected to facilitate since its inception.
But these days even the most modest critique of cryptocurrency will draw smears from the powerful figures in control of the industry and the ire of retail investors who they’ve sold the false promise of one day being a fellow billionaire. Good-faith debate is near impossible.
For these reasons, I simply no longer go out of my way to engage in public discussion regarding cryptocurrency. It doesn't align with my politics or belief system, and I don't have the energy to try and discuss that with those unwilling to engage in a grounded conversation.
I applaud those with the energy to continue asking the hard questions and applying the lens of rigorous skepticism all technology should be subject to. New technology can make the world a better place, but not when decoupled from its inherent politics or societal consequences. »

D'autres nuisances à ajouter aux quelques unes que je listais là https://links.nekoblog.org/?yGYklg
« Cryptocurrency has invented an entirely new category of internet abuse. CI services like mine are not alone in this struggle: JavaScript miners, botnets, and all kinds of other illicit cycles are being spent solving pointless math problems to make money for bad actors. »
« That’s what cryptocurrency is all about: not novel technology, not empowerment, but making money. It has failed as an actual currency outside of some isolated examples of failed national economies. No, cryptocurrency is not a currency at all: it’s an investment vehicle. A tool for making the rich richer. And that’s putting it nicely; in reality it has a lot more in common with a Ponzi scheme than a genuine investment. What “value” does solving fake math problems actually provide to anyone? It’s all bullshit. »

Citez moi un bénéfice qu'a apporté la blockchain qui serait suffisamment important pour compenser toute la montagne de merdes qu'on se tape à côté (spéculation, enrichissement d'une minorité de personnes, impact écologique, hausse des prix/pénurie de matériel (CG et maintenant HDD), et peut-être d'autres trucs que j'oublie)
Sérieusement qu'on me cite un seul truc apporté par ces technos qui servent l'intérêt général et qui vaille la peine qu'on subisse tout ça.
Parce que même si on développe quelques applications qui seraient non nuisibles (traçabilité de produits alimentaires, cadastres), je doute que la valeur ajoutée apportée par la blockchain (*) par rapport aux solutions actuelles pour ce type de problématiques justifie toute cette montagne de merde.
(*) Si il y en a une, pck c'est pas forcément gagné https://www.itnews.com.au/news/dont-bother-with-blockchain-databases-or-even-email-could-be-better-513814

Bonne nouvelle
« Il ne s’agit plus de remplacer le capitalisme institutionnel par un capitalisme individualisé et décentralisé mais au contraire de renforcer toujours plus son efficacité et sa domination par l’innovation technologique. »

« Derrière la prétention libertarienne de donner le pouvoir au peuple (ou plutôt aux utilisateurs, c’est-à-dire aux usagers en tant que consommateurs et producteurs de masse), on ne le donne en fait qu’à la technologie. Derrière la prétention de nous faciliter la vie, ce ne sont que les diverses formes de contrôle qui s’en trouvent facilitées. »
« c’est le rapport contractuel de l’intérêt qui partout s’institue. »

« Bitcoin was supposed to demonstrate the power of a true free market. Instead it's full of scams, rent-seekers, theft, useless for real purchases and accelerates climate change. Mission accomplished. »

Extrait : « Many users of the popular BitTorrent client uTorrent are complaining about it silently installing a cryptocurrency miner with a recent update. The Epic Scale tool, which slows down host computers, is reportedly being installed without consent and for some is particularly hard to remove. »
