> someone mentions the above reasons for downvotes (as seen here soon)

To be fair, you are trolling for downvotes (snarky comments go grey very quickly - as well you knew before you posted).

On the politics side, as long as you're acting in good faith, and thinking about what you're posting, I doubt that you'll get downvoted (ignoring that politics is generally off topic for the site).

Regarding cryptocurrency, nothing good has come of it.

There are many uses for a distributed ledger - some very useful. None of them need proof-of-work and a DAG would be more useful than a LinkedList for the purposes of decentralisating.

I am serious about my 2 mentions of downvotes which in turn will cause the 3rd. Kinda snarky but fully true. I have lightly replied to MSDNC comments w/ negative yet factually true statements related to the MSDNC and gotten downvoted. I keep it minimal but politics are a huge part of daily life and technology.

Plenty of crypto is scammy but I believe in a form of currency not backed by bombing brown people and guarding Arab oil investments for profit. Pipe dream? Maybe.

Well, yes.

And it does look like you are currently being downvoted.
