Bad rap politically. We started out to bank the unbanked. But we have become associated with bankers/free markets because of Bitcoin.
blockchain is a technology
done right it can be used decentral permissionless censorship free
thats the case with DMD v3 already and even more with DMD v4
but permissionless and censorship free also means banks and corporations companies small or big can use it too
nothing wrong with that
as long as they cant take over and change the rules and remove freedom for the rest of us
and they cant
as the rules are agreed by all us together
we who operate nodes decide what software we install
and the software we run decide the rules on the network
