"Crypto-anarchism" is about to turn into the new buzzword of the mainstream media. I've been warning of this on Sup Forums for 2 years now, even before the Trump movement started on here.
Everything that has grown on Sup Forums - kek, pepe, chaos memetics etc, is playing into a larger movement that has been growing in the subconscious of the internet population. This philosophy has it's roots in the cypherpunk groups of the 90s, and its finally emerging into the mainstream seemingly overnight. The Trump movement and the Alt Right is becoming a "stale meme", but the consequences of it have brought Sup Forums to prevalence in the global consciousness.
Watch closely over the next few years anons. You will see the rise of cryptocurrencies and the backlash from banking cartels that come with it. You will see the rise of decentralized technology, and the lack of authority structure that comes with it. The "internet of things" is a highly commercialized buzzword that pulls the wool over the eyes of consumers and businesses alike.
The real war of the 21st century is coming. It won't be about Islam, feminism, cultural marxism or nationalism. The war will be decided by some very simple questions?
What is the role of Government in a world of decentralization?
Who controls data? Central authority, or no one at all?
bump, because you are right. This entire subgenre of politics has been brewing for a very long time. See Moldbug, Nick Land, Peter Thiel, the Seasteading Institute -- it's all part of a bigger plan to decentralize governments and bring fourth a Neo-reactionary techno-capitalist utopia.

The idea is eradicating "megacorps" with entirely decentralized corporations with no central authority. This isn't communism, its unfettered capitalism with cryptography to keep everything honest.
Oliver Jenkins
But that exists alongside alt right and for the most part in cooperation. Alt right is just the agit-prop and normie recruitment wing. It's not, as the article suggests, that this nrx stuff is in competition.
James Hernandez
I didn't say it was. I'm saying that if global capitalism is the way to annihilate pozzed communism, then sure, fine, why not. I'm just not into the cyberpunk aesthetic, but I'm okay with neon signs and deckers and shiiiiet if it means that the things that ruin western culture are destroyed in turn.
Ryan Rivera
Not cyberpunk, cypherpunk. You know, like cryptographic cyphers.
Nathaniel Sanchez

I get what you're saying man, I was just having a laff. Free market economy with a focus on cryptocurrency as a way of validating it.
Jason Anderson
Yeah I see where you are coming from. I usually think of that video of german cybergoth teens dancing to hardstyle under a bridge when I think of cyberpunk.

Asher Bell
Nah, I was talking Neuromancer, Ubik, Shadowrun (even though the game itself is not very good), and Deus Ex.
I am concerned about crypto. When I think of Crypto I usually think of Whales, pump-and-dumps, shorts, etc. etc. I don't think I've ever seen an actual cryptocurrency that's as stable and as usable as currency as fiat.
Henry Butler
So you are saying we can turn the comming Cyberpunk Dystopia into a Cyberpunk Utopia?

The problem is we get a diamond age or snow crash like scenario in the west, but other countries remain protectionist, essentially eradicating western culture and people.

Think about the skill-set required to send an email in 1989 (it was doable). For most people, they couldn't even begin to conceive of it. Instead they just used the much more intuitive US postal service.
Crytocurrency is going to have it's dotcom bubble, don't get me wrong. 99% of cryptocurrencies are going to be useless and die off. The rise of ICOs today are nothing but a glorified kickstarter programs for blockchain based software companies. There will be hype, fud and losses. That doesn't mean the technology itself is worthless.
crypto-anarchism is about using Encryption to keep data decentralized. It has nothing to do with liberals and conservatives.
Charles Jones

And crypto is an unstable hellhole that I'd honestly like to never touch until there's an actual, stable, coin on the market.

You mean the one that lost? Conservatism has always been a game for suckers. Conservatives will always be fighting a losing battle, unless that battle is for Israel.

So should we start holding shitloads of ETH? Or something less centralized?.
Wyatt Baker
Isn't lainchan just full of people from /x/ and Sup Forums?
Blake Gray
>crypto-anarchism is about using Encryption to keep data decentralized watch out then nigga, cause ETH and ripple are totally centralized and can delete your wallets if you piss them off.
Henry Green
Holding crypto is still pure speculation at this point. Remember, even though the internet was the "future" in the 1990s, a lot of people still lost their asses in the dot com crash. Whether or not you are up for that sort of risk is up to you.
Nolan Scott
Alt-right meme was just a reactionary way against liberals, globalists , progressives and so on.
But real attack againt the jew elite will come from crypto, with the tech of blockchain we don't need a ((trusted)) 3rd party for our transactions,contracts and so on. This can really lead to the nearest type of stateless society that it can get.
Dominic Foster
ripple is literally bankercoin, and you are right about ETH. Which is why ETC is more interesting as a project.

Interesting OP, I've been collecting crypto currency in an effort to move my savings out of jew banks where the jews profit from it and give me .001 percent interest
Everyone should do the same, your savings would actually grow and not be used by the jew

can't ETC get hacked easily though? i thought that was why they implemented the fork. do you know anything about the upcoming august 1 BTC fork?

This. Capital and State are natural allies. We can find ways to work together.

Hold on to it, even if it crashes briefly, crypto value has gone up over time

As soon as a seastead started to gain success a Government would just send agent(s) to infiltrate and attempt to subvert, overthrow, terrorize or destroy it.
Nolan Adams
I will do this as soon as I get my debt paid off, I'm a faggot and haven't been fiscally responsible and I'm way behind on this movement. I can probably buy in with a couple hundred to get started soon though. Is mining still worth it? I have a bretty gud pc
Josiah Hughes
I've been trying to pick up a skill which I think will becoming increasingly important, that is a deeper understanding of info/net security like how to defend yourself and what the different kinds of threats are and so on. Also there is something else that I myself am of the opinion that getting into trading like day/swing type trading is cyberpunk (just to be clear for this I'm referring to forex and commodities). This may need some explanation, its a zero sum game if you can figure out a way to succeed in taking money from the market where you're taking it from those in financial power and it's mainly the banks will be the ones on the other side of your trade that's a real fuck you to the banks.
Glad to see some people into neo reaction / dark enlightenment stuff here. I don't know how much I beleive all that but it's very interesting to read their writings.
Oliver Sanders
Well, for example, Bitcoin itself is a decentralized autonomous corporation. It provides the service of accounting for the entire globe without the need of any authority structure. The employees (miners) validate the transactions in the network for a reward (new currency + transaction fees). Money is really only the very first application of open blockchain networks. Similar to how email was the first application of the internet. Over time, we developed more and more use cases - the web, voip, bittorrent, etc. The same will happen over time with blockchain services, but we aren't there yet. And there will be many failures along the way.
Maybe, look into ETH mining , you won't be able to Bitcoin mine most likely
Lucas Turner
>What is the role of Government in a world of decentralization?
Same as it was 200 years ago, to protect your liberty.
Jason Gonzalez
>alt-right doesnt exist imagine being this unengaged and having 0 connections
Connor Hall
I see, mine ETH then wait for value to go up and make trades later then? Seems simple.
Jose Foster
Automation actually scares me quite a bit. I mean, most people like to do work of some form or another. Something to give them purpose, something to do. But we're reaching a point in which all jobs could become automated, which means any effort one could put towards a skill, job experience, etc, would be meaningless when a robot can do that same job. What is society going to turn into when almost everyone's 'purpose' in life will be sitting around and consuming? Where's the meaning to any of it. Human society is going to lose its soul, and no one really cares
William Taylor
Lol. These fags again.
Thomas Martin
I know there's a /chan/ for bitcoin by some odd name, ill drift in there later when I'm ready and read all the news and shit
Juan Green
how do you even into mining now? I thought you need an over 9000 rig of GPUs?
Noah Rivera
Don't worry, humans will always find something to do.
Sebastian Kelly
The Ethereum network wasn't hacked. Somebody wrote a shitty smart contract and retards dumped over $100mil USD into it. Somebody exploited that contract and stole a ton of funds. Instead of chalking it up as a lesson learned, the Ethereum devs completely destroyed the entire purpose of their project by "rolling back" the blockchain and erasing the transactions, effectively bailing out the project owners. It's also worth mentioning that many of the Ethereum devs had a lot of money invested in this smart contract as well.
Being that ethereum is an open protocol, many people were not happy with this decision, and decided to maintain the original ethereum chain. This in my opinion goes to show how powerful these new protocols really are. Don't want to submit to the tyranny of the majority? Fine, just fork the codebase and implement your own network.
Luis Walker
Bitcoin mining is incredibly profitable right now. But you will need an ASIC miner, not your PC.
Juan Price
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Minerva The Republic of Minerva was a micronation It was one of the few modern attempts at creating a sovereign micronation on the reclaimed land of an artificial island in 1972. The architect was Las Vegas real estate millionaire and political activist Michael Oliver They anticipated a libertarian society with "no taxation, welfare, subsidies, or any form of economic interventionism." In addition to tourism and fishing, the economy of the new nation would include light industry and other commerce. In 1971, barges loaded with sand arrived from Australia, bringing the reef level above the water and allowing construction of a small tower and flag. The Republic of Minerva issued a declaration of independence on 19 January 1972 in letters to neighboring countries and even created their own currency. In February 1972, Morris C. Davis was elected as Provisional President of the Republic of Minerva. The declaration of independence, however, was greeted with great suspicion by other countries in the area. A conference of the neighboring states (Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Nauru, Samoa, and territory of Cook Islands) met on 24 February 1972 at which Tonga made a claim over the Minerva Reefs and the rest of the states recognized its claim. A Tongan expedition was sent to enforce the claim the following day. It reached North Minerva on 18 June 1972. The Flag of the Tonga was raised on 19 June 1972 Tongan occupation Tonga’s claim was recognized by the South Pacific Forum in September 1972. In 1982, a group of Americans led again by Morris C. “Bud” Davis tried to occupy the reefs, but were forced off by Tongan troops
Luis White
it's true. the media couldn't understand that they had a bunch of angry shitposters up against them, so they decided to round to the nearest approximation and add an additional descriptor. after the "alt-right" was fabricated, thousands of attention whores came out of the woodwork to create an "awoovement", and shit spiraled out of control from there.
it does not exist. national socialism exists -- it has a fleshed out doctrine and a purpose. libertarianism exists -- it has a fleshed out doctrine and a purpose. what is the doctrine or purpose of the "alt-right"? spouting memes, writing terrible 100 page books, and selling tickets to a tour where you sit around for an hour and spout bullshit you saw on reddit?
you're sitting in a psyop.
Jackson Scott
somebody tried to establish a independent nation and the powers that be couldnt allow that so they all agreed to put a stop to it and then once they stopped it they started fighting amongst themselves. cont: Territorial dispute In 2005, Fiji made it clear that they did not recognize any maritime water claims by Tonga to the Minerva Reefs under the UNCLOS agreements. In November 2005, Fiji lodged a complaint with the International Seabed Authority concerning Tonga's maritime waters claims surrounding Minerva. Tonga lodged a counter claim, and the Principality of Minerva micronation claimed to have lodged a counter claim. In 2010 the Fijian Navy destroyed navigation lights at the entrance to the lagoon. In late May 2011, they again destroyed navigational equipment installed by Tongans. In early June 2011, two Royal Tongan Navy ships were sent to the reef to replace the equipment, and to reassert Tonga's claim to the territory. Fijian Navy ships in the vicinity reportedly withdrew as the Tongans approached.
Brody Smith
You are making my point. The alt-right meme perpetuated by the media is just a stepping stone to the new more concrete and slightly spookier sounding "crypto-anarchist" meme. In reality, the term will soon deviate heavily from it's cypherpunk origins.
Zachary Ross
But user, in a future where everything is automated, the only thing you can do is consume. By the very fact that everything on Earth is just the motions of physics and/or brain chemistry, which is replaceable through machines, the only thing left us to do, that we could for a meaningful purpose, is to consume whatever the automated creator's give us
Interesting... I will ask about these when I've got a stack of cash to throw away

Decentralized Cryptocurrencies maybe be our way of protesting the international banking cabal. If we can undermine their source of power (centralized currency), their whole house of lies and deceit will fall apart.

Not necessarily. Human's have an innate desire to produce. We are just detaching the need for that production to be functional or relevant in the economic system.

Here's mine from a couple days ago. Keep in mind it's in dollarydoos. (Tbh it's now 38k but it's still way higher than my initial investment of 9.7k)
