Re: Capitalism (continued from How do you deal with the thought about taxes)

Ive concluded that every discussion involving anarchism on this forum will devolve into ancaps and pro capitalism herpderps idealizing themselves into a hole.

Well, if you want anti-capitalist herpderps, you've come to the wrong place.

Yeah. This isn't the place for it.

Spoken on a Bitcoin forum. How ironic.

How about I make a quick list of Bitcoin's socialist tendencies (not that I'm a socialist or anything, just pointing things out.)

Relies on infrastructure that's sponsored by someone else. E.g.: distributed memory pool for unconfirmed transactions = unfunded; network resources = unfunded
Relies on charity to pay for development. So far this kind-of works, but anecdotal evidence suggests it's mostly a loss-making hobby and contributors usually have other day jobs to subsidize it.
Most direct funding is through a combination of "inflation tax" and exchange rate appreciation.
As long as participation remains voluntary and transparent, the inflation seems acceptable. If it's ever forced on me, I might start demanding that the miners provide various governmental services in return.
As people put more of their faith into Bitcoin, the exchange rate goes up and it parasitically steals value from other things. One way to think of Bitcoin is: it's just one bubble in a global washing basin full of other bubbles. If one bubble grows, the other bubbles have less room.
