# 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.
