The ruling oligarchy loathes decentralized money, especially Bitcoin, because it will eventually wipe out their power-structure, as well it should.
But academics and self-described "hackers" desperately want to believe that they're non-conformist, even though they in reality they're so obedient they can't even form their own opinions. But this is the source of significant cognitive dissonance for them.
They hate all real decentralized money because they're told to, but admitting that they consider their Chase Benefits™ card the pinnacle of ethical money is just a tad bit too far out, even for them.
I've seen quite a few of these "decentralized money without dirty carbon evil racist blockchain" type papers. They reliably fail to recognize The Hard Problem so they don't try to solve it, instead transforming it into different forms and then assuming it solved.
It is the digital equivalent of the perpetual motion magnet motor, the motor always stops but the ideas don't.

Mom met Dad at the courthouse. Arraigment was the same day. She had just gotten an abortion. He had just bought a 30 round magazine.
It was love at first sight.

@11112011 I don't know about smugge but yeah that's how I make my ravioli
goddamn I love not giving a fuck about the current thing
@11112011 yea but how's their lasagna
don't support abortions being made illegal
states making up their own mind makes sense
unless you think parents should just be able to kill their children, you have to make an arbitrary decision as to when a foetus becomes a baby - political decisions on a state by state basis makes much more sense than some macabre game of which justice dies next so our guys can "win"
@dj how's that, abortion illegal therefore less children?
@11112011 I do not know what this is, but I'm standing by Sicily
@11112011 always thought Sicily looked chill in a murderous kinda way

@skells yeah it is, I was a little worried about the food shortage stuff (so taking a little hit on a wheat position), but I guess China has good stock so we won't be shipping much out either
I'd rather take that hit than have a famine
