I wonder why all the libertarian freedom loving crypto guys keep backing fascists

We could argue over the definition of fascism and which politicians fit it which might be more productive than accusing posters of being depressed.

Is this a little or a lot? any idea how that compares to other industries and donors?
It almost doesn't matter? If it was less than other industries doesn't make it okay. I like any/all callouts of industries and their political "donations". Its all so ridiculous.

It's not hard to figure out, the fascists have been more explicitly welcoming to crypto freedom or at least put themselves out there to solicit that vote even if you claim their underlying policies aren't. Trump offered the freedom of Ross Ulbricht at the libertarian convention, did Kamala come to the libertarian convention and offer anything?
I thought that offering ‘not Trump’ would be enough. I was very wrong.
Andreessen Horowitz - $51.65m... are they the Goldman Sachs (Vampire Squid) of the Tech world? The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere.

It came out when Crypto guy gave an interview and mentioned it not realising the consequences. The party leader first claimed it was for security. Then it was determined he had bought property with…
Nice - one don't even have to click the URL to know what POS is involved.

Honestly, that comparison is insulting to Goldman Sachs. Goldman at least sometimes provides funding for things beneficial to humanity: infrastructure projects, small business loans, and the like. A16Z has transitioned fully to various incarnations of casino apps and getting rich by getting people addicted to gambling, they are a purely negative force in the world with no upside whatsoever.

> More than one-third of all corporate money contributed to this year's November elections, and primary elections leading up to them, has come from the crypto industry, making it the top corporate political spender, the group said.
