Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    A Venn diagram of those who believe cryptocurrencies will upend power structures and those who espouse extreme racism would be instructive.https://twitter.com/nytimestech/status/1007206918799183872 …

    Since leaving the White House, Stephen K. Bannon has found a new cause: cryptocurrencies. He thinks they can further his political ambitions and make him money. https://nyti.ms/2ycnWus

        Morning Marketplace on NPR yesterday had a guy on who runs one of Iceland's oldest geothermal plants. A direct quote, referencing the the 1849 US gold-rush: "In the cryptocurrency world, I'm the guy who sells the shovels." *Someone* will make money...

        Don't forget he ran a company that sold World of Warcraft farmed gold, which was a proto-bitcoin, for years. So he knows about that shadowy world of gamers, trolls & dirty money.https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2017/07/18/steve-bannon-learned-harness-troll-army-world-warcraft/489713001/ …

        Seems like anarcho-syndicalism (of which crypto$ is a manifestation) has branched in equal proportions left and right. Just finished an instructive set of readings by and about Georges Sorel.

        Back in the 90s people thought the Internet would upend power structures. Nobody thinks that anymore. The notion that any technology will upend power structures is naive and wrong.
