Fuelled by hype and hysteria, the market in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies went from an obscure niche to a $3tn industry. Then the house of cards collapsed
Why are these people not victims of a diseased system? If I look at what most of them seem to want, which is financial freedom and freedom from the grind, I can’t blame them for trying. Even if I don’t agree with the methode (crypto).
The whole point of me joining this ideology was that I wanted freedom from the meaningless grind for myself and others as well. I’m lucky to have found communism as an ideology but I could absolutely see myself becoming a cryptobro as well. Without guidance, you do what makes sense to you. And if you find a lot of people investing in a hard to get, seemingly endless pot of gold, you might want to chip in.
We can be critical at these people. But we shouldn’t be hostile imo. After all, the big system has failed them again. What if they now find a better alternative in communism? And what if they are greeted with smug ‘I told you so cryptobro’ vibes? After all, we preach solidarity for our working class equals for a reason.
I would kinda restrain too from sneering at those people, but we also should not absolve them immediately. Critics should be in order. They are the victims, but they also had it coming, it’s not like it was the first time workers were duped into the pyramid scheme mired by the prospect of joining the renter parasite class. Also they conciously did wanted to do that, i get that due to the overwhelming TINA brainwash and shitty work conditions* they can be somewhat absolved from that but still - it can be turned into the argument why they were victimized.
*Worth noting that those people are from aristocracy of labour to begin with.
Why do they deserve it according to you?
