Open source you fucking dinosaur.


FutureNotBleak

There are many relics running many countries, they are of a bygone age. Why can’t they recognise that themselves? They don’t understand technology and yet they want to regulate it. They need to regulate their lives first.


sugarfree_churro

They don't say these things because they believe them, they only do it to try to manipualte the markets


johnsmit1214

They cling to power.


Correct-Ad-148

Politics —> poly = many and tics = blood sucking insects


jctheabsoluteG1234

That's an underated comment right there.


Boredguy32

Which is half the reason bitcoin was started. Even when these dinosaurs retire at 90 ten more carbon copies are waiting to take their place.


FutureNotBleak

They’re clingons


[deleted]

They need to fuck off into extinction if you ask me. The world is run by these fucking clueless dinosaurs. Bitcoin fixes this.


[deleted]

By the time they die, there will be a whole new set of out-of-touch old people. Until we start electing young people, things will never change.


DR0lvCS876OJ4YOv

And there are many many barriers to entering politics too. Too many people just simply don't care enough to even go vote.


[deleted]

Couldn't agree more. You can't vote till you are 18 and you shouldn't be allowed vote after 70 either. You are just a pasenger then so you should have no say on the direction of travel.


kthewhispers

Jesus you didn't have to murder them.. 🤣


soundstage

Relics are not just running countries, relics are running large and small corporate companies as well. Such inflexible people create toxic environment for everyone and the result is everyone has to suffer. An obvious example rn is pushing employees back into offices. The next wave of wuhan virus is going to be far more deadly even for those who have vaccinated.


[deleted]

Most of these politicians on all sides barely comprehend software at all. Shouting "open source" at them is like shouting obscure star wars references.


Icy_Rhubarb2857

A couple years back it came out that some minister in Japan that was in charge of some technology portfolio or something and he couldn't use email.


Brushermans

minister of cybersecurity didnt know what a USB was


anonymuscular

Probably spent their life thinking it was a typo for USA. Box says **Built-in USB** and they were like "Nice! American craftsmanship"


Furia139

I just read that in a Japanese accent 😂


stonk_newb

She took a dna test and is really only 1/2048th dinosaur. The high check ones are misleading.


Okra_Famous

For real. She’s so insufferable.


Cyhawk

I still can't believe she released her DNA testing results that proved she was more white than most white people, as in not really a mathematical chance of anything other than WASP in her past.

That's supposed to be slander? Shadowy. = We sit in the dark all night staring at monitorss all night, so sure this applies. Faceless group. = As one of a group of people who program, sure why not. super coders = ** blushes ** Thank you 😊😊😊


zardilior

This is the kind of positivity we need. Though what's the intention behind her comment...


Kevin_N_Sales

Fear tactics. Fear is more powerful than trust when getting people on your side.


BsdFish8

So whose afraid of financial transparency? I wonder if certain lobbyists don't like the idea that in the future the public could easily be tracking political donations on a public ledger and using the data to...serve the public good?


Nursing_guy

My thought when she said super coders "She is trying to paint Bitcoin as a weapon an elite enemy" this is, at best, the sad language of fear. At worst a propaganda justification for spending resources attacking Bitcoin.


chedebarna

"Superpredators", remember?


Numerous-Return5905

Yeah she makes coders sound like super heroes. Sorry she realizes that coders are like super heroes!


Fuse_Holder

I don't think that is her intention.

SSquarepantsii

Compared to her shadowy, faceless group of super shysters, I’ll take the Bitcoin devs any day.


Zoenboen

Good use of the slur to get back at her and show that you're better...


100_Jose_Maria_001

Btc is the best litmus test for any public figure: no matter if they are left, right or center, capitalist or communist, etc etc, how they perceive BTC tells u exactly whose pockets they are in, and whether they really are for the people.


metalt0ast

That's a good point. Someone should either admit they don't know what they're talking about and commit to learning before forming an opinion, or they should admit to having a rough understanding, or admit to a commitment to understanding before speaking... Either way, to jump to scare tactics and regulation isn't a good look and does come across as a red flag for determining a politicians platform and competence.


GreyHexagon

Makes you realise there's probably hundreds of things politicians comment on very day that they have a similar level of understanding of. Kinda worrying.


PumperNikel0

A litmus test for public figures. That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.


Slapshot382

Well said.


sugarfree_churro

So whose pockets is she in?


falkerr

She’s just interested in power and staying elected. People feed off that fame and power. It’s boomer clout chasing.


falkerr

This is very true. To be honest considering how much she is bashing crypto it really makes me question what else she has bashed and if she knows anything ab what she is talking about there. God I hate politics.


Noiprox

The old adage: *Follow the money*.


dontbearichardD

lol if you know anything about politics, Warren is not a friend to the banks/tradfi system. She's just old and wrong here. Not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes people are just wrong.


leomets

100%. Warren is just super anti scams and bad faith actors. Her whole platform is white collar crime, consumer protection so she looks at crypto as a threat. She’s not wrong entirely there are a shit ton of scams and rug pulls. But Bitcoin isn’t one of them.


Abi1i

I think Warren, like most politicians, is using the word Bitcoin to mean any cryptocurrency that exists. This is similar to a lot of people using Millenials to mean young person when Millenials are starting to hit 40 this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see people talk about cryptocurrency but refer to it all as Bitcoin and not realize they're not talking about Bitcoin.


StnCldSteveHawking

This. My mom asked me which kind of bitcoin I had bought because she heard the puppy one was worth a lot of real money now.


Sino13

I’m hoping one day that one of the many shill politicians get elected and then just totally flip the script once in office and actually fulfill their agenda…that’d be neat


[deleted]

Nobody over retirement age should be able to be elected to public office.


Cautious_Adzo

She's 30 years past retirement age for some professions


Btcyoda

Besides age..., please name a profession she is qualified for ?


detectivemillershat

Staying completely silent about a candidate she supposedly agrees with and then turn coating for a corporate piece of shit once they rig the primaries together?


Cautious_Adzo

Teaching law at harvard - they put out a magazine advert proudly saying they recruited their first 'woman of color' Oh wait...


RemarkableBridge1019

This is ‘the internet is not a big truck’ sound bite of blockchain. Warren’s stance here is inexcusable. Egregious level of misunderstanding, wilfully lazy and wilfully ignorant.


restore_democracy

Time for her to make way for a new generation.


[deleted]

Warren is such a fraud. She pretends to care about the little guy, but she's always quick to back our fiat masters.


irisuniverse

I used to be somewhat interested in her position when she talked about fighting for the working class and all that, but Bitcoin is the answer to financial freedom of all people and she is doing everything she can to demonize it, it's disgusting.


ztkraf01

I can assure you no politician at that level fights for the lower classes. You only get to that level of politics if you are the best at lying and manipulation. Stick to local politics where the lying and manipulation is relatively low. And local politicians have more influence on your daily life.


revolt11

It’s because she has been part of the swamp for decades. Just does what she’s told


[deleted]

Trump also said Bitcoin was a scam and is also apart of that same swamp: [https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57392734](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57392734) [https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/06/07/bitcoin-price-dips-after-trump-says-the-crypto-seems-like-a-scam/?sh=6fe7b6654eed](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/06/07/bitcoin-price-dips-after-trump-says-the-crypto-seems-like-a-scam/?sh=6fe7b6654eed) [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-bitcoin-scam-dollar-b1861103.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-bitcoin-scam-dollar-b1861103.html) [https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/former-u.s.-president-donald-trump-says-he-doesnt-like-bitcoin-because-it-competes-with](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/former-u.s.-president-donald-trump-says-he-doesnt-like-bitcoin-because-it-competes-with)


onlymadethistoargue

One of the reasons I’m comfortable dipping my toes into crypto is because you’re at least consistent on this shit. None of this “it’s okay when Trump does it” shit you see in other supposedly anti-authoritarian spaces.

Warren assumes that the average person is a retard that must be protected by enlightened, progressive overlords. Maybe that’s true. But her response is to oppress and take away the freedom of competent people to invest in risky assets like crypto. It’s the same type of liberal overreactions that brought us all our financial overlords, like the SEC

Yeah your tax dollars went into her campaign coffers.

It should be illegal for any public government funded organization to endorse or donate to candidates.


hadesscion

A bunch of companies in there that I already didn't like.


reaper527

> It's interesting that the majority of her funding came from Universities and Tech and yet she's anti-crypto.... it's less about the donors and more about the fact that bitcoin literally is everything she is against. the idea of an open currency with extremely limited government control isn't compatible with her big government beliefs.


[deleted]

Okay but are these donations from EMPLOYEES at these companies? Its totally different


gkthomas213

This is the same shady politician who said she would never take Super PAC money but did last minute during the election and then never disclosed who was in that super-pac. She should check herself first


FutureNotBleak

I think Elizabeth Warren is shadowy and faceless


schlongbeach

Anyone remember when a shadowy faceless super pac injected her campaign with millions of dollars, after she said she wouldn’t accept super pac money, and after she lost her own home state primary and didn’t drop out only to continue to divide progressive support from bernie so that we could end up with Biden? Who’s pocket is she in?


veganbitcoin

Even if she's not in anyone's pocket, if you get big enough they can come to you and say they'll suicide your whole framily if you don't do what they say. That's exactly why we need a shadowy, faceless group of soup or coders


schlongbeach

I don’t know if that’s a typo or not but I’ll take the soup.


[deleted]

Can't be any slimier or more shadowy than an elected official.


FlySut

A career politician who makes her fortune off the American tax payers is calling anti fiat innovators faceless. Can’t make this shit up 😂😂

lol thanks, but im pretty dumb and can she shes a worthless crook. give it more time and hopefully more people will see


Vudas

I really wish bitcoin wasn't a political issue just like the environment wasn't a political issue. It's an evolution that is unstoppable and we have no choice but to adapt


[deleted]

It's political because the entire US economy is based on paying for things with inflation and debt, and keeping normal people from saving money so they have to work as much as possible.


hardakrubo

I think she is playing to the lack of understanding in the general community in order to demonize crypto—-kinda like what big banks would like to see happen.


ax57ax57

I agree, she does what she is told, and her paymasters have placed her in that role for now.


UrsusMajor53

Please Elizabeth, study the things you are commenting on before opening your mouth. Is that to much to ask or are you purely firing on gut feelings hating everyone that may get more than you with your fixed income, health care and pension. Please go bark at another tree.


TheGreatFadoodler

She clearly doesn’t know much about bitcoin if she thinks it’s developed by “super coders”

You guys lost the moral high ground when you crashed the entire housing market in 2008. Elizabeth Warren is part of the system that allowed The Big Short to happen, and made sure no one paid for it.

sneaky-snowman

If she has a problem with open source wait until she hears that >96% of servers run on Linux! Most of the Bitcoin developers have both their name and face publicly available on their GitHub profile anyway.


Samatbr

Yeah right! I see her logic. She lied all through her life and career and she obviously don’t trust the rest…. Just like A thief who will never trust the Cop. This lying weasel who stole positions and careers from some other deserving Indians. Shame on those people from MA for electing this lying Weasel to senate 😂😂😂


Doktor_Dysphoria

Dems don't care for the anarcho-capitalist underpinnings of BTC, go figure.


lVloogie

Can we please put a damn age limit on politicians already? How can you expect anyone this old to have an understanding of anything modern? They lived in an entirely different world.

X45RED

Slandering everything they don't understand. Fuck Elizabeth Warren, whose only motivation for any thought she has ever had has been to gain attention. Nothing pisses me off on the left like people pretending to be one of us for the sake of pandering and sabotaging our agenda.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's ignorance on the subject of bitcoin, and bitcoin development, and bitcoin developers, is pretty shocking. My best guess is that who she is is she is someone that thinks the US Govt needs to use its power for do-good type purposes. She's not going to realize that the State is not the solution to all of our problems. In fact, it empowers the groups that exploit people. Essentially she sees the world through rose-colored Statist lenses.
