+    This is the main thing most people seem to think crypto is for: trading it
+    without ever using it to buy and sell anything besides other
+    cryptocurrencies. It only manages to make crypto more unstable and less
+    usable as a currency. For years it was the libertarian dream to completely
+    cut out real resources and real production of goods and services. A
+    simulated economy that somehow manages to bring real money into their fat
+    wallets is what they wanted, one that just like capitalism outside
+    cyberspace starts out in a state where even your average joes are making
+    money but as shittification takes hold all the money only makes it into
+    wallets that are already fat. To most this seems like a mistake but the
+    libertarians designed it that way and wouldnt want it any other way.

+  <h3>Crytpo brokers</h3>
+  <p>
+    This is what made me to decide to write this blog in the first place. I was
+    using coinbase to get some bitcoin so I can hop on p2p networks to get some
+    monero. Normally this works fine but coinbase randomly went "fuck you!" and
+    started throwing error messages at me when sending bitcoin. Tried to
+    withdraw same deal. Used their resources to find out why this was happening
+    but their piece of shit chatbot wouldnt do much. When I asked for a real
+    person it "upgraded" me to a slightly better chatbot. Decided to look into
+    it and found out most of the big <i>"trustworthy"</i> brokers will lock up
+    during times trades will not be in their favor. They often do this simply
+    by bricking their site when a trade they dont like happens. These types of
+    brokers often use KYC to decrease privacy. p2p networks can solve this
+    though you often have to already have some crypto to use them.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>Monero, the only decent crypto</h3>
+  <p>
+    Unlike all other cryptos monero is kind of usable for actually buying and
+    selling things. Its a bit more stable and faster. Its designed to fuck over
+    gpu mining and force people to mine on cpu instead to prevent the mining
+    madness of most crypto. If you want a private currency monero is the only
+    half decent option. Its still not perfect but in a world where FUCKING
+    TERRIBLE is the norm half decent is a blessing.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>To sum things up</h3>
+  <p>
+    Like most things in this world crypto was fucked by libertarians. Though if
+    they werent fucked crypto as we know it is still just a reaction to the
+    nightmare we call national currencies and banking. This is why we cant have
+    nice things ):
