The ongoing cryptocurrency crash

You should read a bit more books about anarchists (not written by leninists but by historians) and books written by anarchists.

It would prevent you from writing bullshit.

You guys always say "read more books" but this shifts the conversation over to talking about theory rather than talking about what happened in history or what could happen in contemporary material conditions. Could you give me some books on anarchism, or more specifically how anarchism or some other adajcent group could not only establish socialism but more importantly address the problems of the world today? Problems of international debt, imperialism, the climate crisis. The growth of serious problems in even first world countries that benefit off of their imperialism like the increasing homeless and lack of healthcare services, etc.

I don't really mean to come off as rude because I've expressed interest in anarchism but its like it doesn't seem very viable but I am interested in anarchist literature that attempts to address these types of problems that exist today.

deus vult it WILL stay like this when I buy a 3090!!!!

just an offtopic thought:
do you ever wonder if people who play games are making the prices of computer parts go up just because we can get extra kicks out of a new gpu? is there a group of people who feel the way about us the way we feel about crypto miners?

Probably not. We feel the way we do about crypto miners because we both compete for the same exact hardware. No one else needs high end GPUs, as far as I am aware, besides us and crypto miners.

But it’s a fact that have the right not to be anarchist, but please don’t repeat as a parrot rants about anarchism you read in the books written by people who don’t know what they are talking about, or worse, who know what they are talking about but are writing bullshit because they hate anarchists and/or anarchism.

I'm looking to replace my 6 year old GPU this year, so I'm hoping the crash has made them somewhat affordable now.

Cryptocurrency is crashing? LMFAO

THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN ENDLESS ARMY OF MONKEY JPEGS!!!

Covid and Putin had other plans, things will still be mad expensive for the next several years.

Oh fuck, right, I forgot about how the Russian/Ukrainian war has been affecting the global market. Well, on the bright side, Gez, I can at the very least claim the purchase of my new overly-priced GPU as a business expense.

I do not think those are mutually exclusive.

Also, I do not think there is such thing as a "leninist" without the "marxist-" qualifier: the only person I know to have referred to himself as such was fucking Steve Bannon, the World of WarCraft gold farm owner/MAGA scammer...

They keep pushing for Cryptocurrency to be a thing, I visited San Antonio in Texas and the mall had an ATM for Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency can be used as a currency, but it is just stocks.
