No, it doesn't.

Could you please explain why you think it doesn't?

When someone makes an extraordinary claim, “Bitcoin fixes this,” the burden is on them to explain how that is the case.

How does it fix it?

Happy to chat about it but this does not seem like a welcoming space for the discussion.

Just curious? What's the use case for breaking an international embargo with crypto?

Was it a bitcoin comment? It could help.

Please don't take HN threads into classic flamewar hell. A comment like this is vandalism.

I don't think you understand just how powerful states with big fucking guns are

Could you please explain how?

We ban accounts that troll HN as you have in this thread. No more of this please.

You've also been posting mostly unsubstantive comments in general lately. Would you please fix this? We're hoping for better than that here.

> Bitcoin is a scam.

You're really tempting fate twice here :))

I would say so. You attempted to use sarcasm in a community of people who dis-proportionally don't pick up on sarcasm, using a medium that notoriously doesn't transmit sarcasm well.

It isn’t that people here don’t pick up sarcasm it’s that sarcasm as an entire comment isn’t really welcome here. This isn’t Reddit and comments are supposed to have substance.

It's both! Sorry I'll see myself out.

Yes but I laughed and maybe a couple others. The OP comment was by a crypto throwaway account, the subtle message was there anyway, I just blew it up. Graeber is completely correct about Haiti getting screwed over by debt but I wanted the Bitcoin message underlying it to be exposed and have more substantial conversation about financial policies that could help. Did it work? Maybe.

Whats bitcoin again?

Bitcoin is definitely a scam. Just like fiat money, though. https://henvic.dev/posts/bitcoin/
