A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
The majority doesn't want "absolute authority". They want to have a system that "just works" and allows them to pay for bread and butter without jumping through hoops. That's the problem with crypto: it's not easy - far from it.
Crypto isn't available in a lot of countries right now. There are multiple factors: bad and unstable infrastructure (internet, electricity), bad hardware, lacking regulation, and most importantly lack of legal options. Crypto exchanges are straight up banned in many countries. I'd love to send my money directly to charities or other orgs and people outside of the Western banking system, but they can't even create a wallet, much less convert it to fiat, which brings us back to the same problem I've brought up.

Can't create a wallet?
Solar generator and a cell phone can make a wallet, it's just math. Its as democratic as algebra.
