OK to call me CYPHERPUNKHey, I am snow bound in Colorado with a raging blizzard outside my door. What else to do but catch up on reading and I just fell upon a great piece of journalism from Andrew Browne, a Bloomberg reporter. Here is what he had to say that I felt most describes my involvement with cryptos:
"Bitcoin was designed to bypass these structures of power, embodied by the banks and monetary authorities. And its most passionate champions— “cypherpunks” as they’re called—are finding more and more allies among mainstream investors who share their skepticism about the dollar and other “fiat” currencies at a time when some are worried about the return of inflation."
He phrased the issue of cryptos so well, and the article goes on to point out a number of the wealthy enthusiasts who are getting into bitcoin including banks, insurance companies, and billionaires. He also includes a focus on the environmental impact of mining the coins especially if someone has a concern of the energy used and the carbon created. Here is the website and I encourage folks not weather bound to read on: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-03-13/bloomberg-new-economy-central-banks-may-soon-be-coming-for-bitcoin
Show love for your bro in Colorado! best, mpke
