Lost me immediately with “Blockchain Socialist”.
same and my head hurts quite a lot trying to comprehend that sequence of words.
There's a lot of lefitsts spaces in the blockchain. While they are minoritarian, they have a distinct political agenda and set of values, separate from most of the web3 world. They either envision the usage of blockchain for local economies (an evolution of circular economy and local currencies that were popular in the 90's and 2000s), or more global scale realignment of incentives, either through socialist market economies or more planning-oriented solutions.
man I love buzzword politics
Have you watched the video or just stopped at the title?
Actually, yes I did. Doesn't mean that "blockchain socialist" isn't a ridiculous moniker. Hence Buzzword politics.
are you familiar with left-wing blockchain and that whole strand of research or you just talk because you have no clue about the fact that there's always been plenty of anti-capitalist and post-capitalist in the blockchain scene?
You sound like you're about fourteen years old so I won't be rude. That being said, you're simply parroting buzzwords hoping they mean things. I'm familiar with block chain, the left-wing, and anti capitalism. I also couldn't give less of a crap about where those things intersect.
Damn they finally put socialism on the blockchain!
