Re: <nettime> In Praise of Cash

[Morlock Elloi <morlockelloi@gmail.com>]

This stuff needs to be repeated over and over again.

Just to mention the latest, and perhaps the most insidious entry in the 
war on cash: Bitcoin, all-transactions-always-public PoW hash system 
operated mostly by Chinese mints, touted to post-New Agers as the Next 
Big Thing.

The unique aspect of Bitcoin is that it represents a merger of two 
ideologies - one well described in the subject essay, and the other 
being California model of centralized-everything through middlemen apps, 
where middlemen middle between myriad aspects of the human existence on 
one side, and a single-digit number of fascistic monopolies on the other 
side.
