My peoples, the time has come for a MEGATHREAD. In 40 tweets I will explain another 40 concepts you should know. Strap in. Here we go:

@coinbureau As Agent Mulder said, I want to believe, and I do. But people can be really really crappy. Does decentralisation inherently fix that? Crypto is the most likely life-raft available, but bugger knows if it's really enough to nudge the wheel in the right direction.

@coinbureau Let's face it though - when something seems too good to be true, it often is. Whilst I see the potential for crypto to break the seemingly never-ending cycle of capital consolidation and exploitation of labour by the wealthy, it seems.. I dunno, very very optimistic?

My thoughts on these recent tweets by the #Dogecoin founder (and the response to it)...

@coinbureau @BustaRhymes Incidentally, @coinbureau - if you'd like to see one of hip hop's finest describe in detail why he's desperate for crypto without ever saying the word crypto, check out youtu.be/HcrFl0Urd-4

@coinbureau @BustaRhymes This is a crazy crazy world, but I'm glad to live in it

Where do you guys go when it comes to learning more about #crypto ? YouTube ? and.. please don’t say tiktok..

@DanDalston @KimSJ @AlanFresco4 @SteveLawrence_ Rates are only at these levels because of the lockdowns. You can't chose to do nothing and live with the end result if by doing nothing, you never get there.

The UK now has more daily cases than the entire EU.

@PeterMcCormack 5) There's plenty of activists for a plethora of worthy causes out there who could more eloquently talk to the issues of de-platforming. I'd suggest having them on instead.

@PeterMcCormack 4) There are many easily idenitfiable positive - or at least not recognisably awful projects and people out there, who can provide valuable perspectives that don't nudge the needle to the dark side

I’ve spoken to Laura Loomer today. She is interested in coming on the podcast. Personally I don’t like how she has been deplatformed but also disagree with many of her wider ideas. Would you like to hear from Laura?

@michael_saylor Actually, he's probably more Sunday in this analogy, but nvm.
