even if facebook is a leftist shithole, even if their cryptocurrency is centralized shit, we should resist the tries of government to intervene into the crypto-sphere the way they are trying to do this

One fundamental truth in crypto coins and bitcoin is that they clearly show that today, we don't need governments printing and managing our money.

As far as I am concerned this extends equally to Big Data and Big Corporations. We don't need them creating our money.

There is no way Gov/Big Data/Big Corp will not get entangled and find ways, aboveboard and secretly, to foster their mutual interests.

That has just about zero to do with the interests of an individual.
