# Cryptocurrencies are deleuzian [^0]

The value is given by the market, says neoliberals. The value is given
by work that has been put on the product, says the communists and
anarchists. 1s and 0s have value, says cryptobros.

## Blockchains

Obviously, as it happens with mostly everything in this world, if you
like something it's because you don't know how it works. Basically a
blockchain is a linked list (but cryptobros don't know what a linked
list). Which is append only, and everyone can visit it, and see who
made a transaction of how much, when and to who. Feel free to put the
BTC address in the index of this domain in <https://blockstream.info>

I had a conversation with a cryptobro and he asked me why i put the
address on my website if anyone can put it in that website and see my
transactions. And this only tells us that cryptocurrency users don't
even know how the shit they love works.

The least shit blockchain is the one XMR (Monero) uses, and I think
Monero is the only cryptocurrency that could have future. But
cryptobros (fortunately) don't know about it.

## NFTs

Imagine you want to buy a painting by a XIV century painter, so you
buy the shit but the only think you get is a paper, written with the
cheapest pen in the convinence store, that says that you own the
thing. So yeah, the paper says you own the thing. And then you ask
"hey can i take my painting home?" and they say no, because you only
bought a paper that says that you own the painting, not the painting
itself. If you think this is ridiculous, congratulations because you
understood NFTs perfectly.

NFTs claim to be unique and shit. Nevertheless, if you go to any NFT
marketplace and search for anything, you'll get the same results, but
with different colors.

If you ask me, I think this is money laundering.

And let's not forget when someone who kinda has all my respect [could
scam 2.7 Million by selling hashes that say you own monke
pics](https://archive.md/enMPB)[^1] [^2]

Not to mention how idiotic it's to own something a jpg, in the
cyberspace, where you can literally `cp(1)` the file as much as you
want. And use it anywhere. But cryptobros actually pay for owning
jpegs.
