Yes if you meet those criteria and cash out right now. Most people I to crypto will hold though.

Why? Because that's the narrative pushed on the community over and over and over - hodl never sell.

Why? Because if everyone sells, all the people manipulating the market like Tether and their buddies lose their money. Fair play to those that can make a bit of money, but unless you're already rich, are running the market, or fine with creating a shitcoin to rug people, crypto is not going to make most average people rich at all.

Just another way for the already wealthy to fuck you over.

But the ultra rich are actually playing with that too and fucking over every single person that invests thinking they're going to be 'financially free'

Adoption will never happen because block chains are shit at everything except being a Blockchain.

Let's fix the system we've got instead of inventing a new one that's worse in basically every way.

Are blockchains an operating system?

Blockchains aren't an operating system so this comparison is meaningless.

You'd think the bad publicity alone would be enough to destroy any chance of election. You'd think.

It does on the surface, but the problem is it quickly devolves into extreme utilitarianism. There are some other issues such as:

  1. How rich is rich enough for EA? Who decides?
  2. How much suffering is it acceptable to cause while getting rich to deliver EA?
  3. Is it better to deal with the problems we have now and in the immediate future, or avoid problems in millions of years that we may or may not accurately be able to predict?
  4. Can you even apply morality and ethics to people that do not exist?
  5. Who decides what has the most value?
  6. It's a cult.
