Digital goods like software and media can be copied for free and benefit everyone once produced.<br/><br/>Yet capitalism struggles for decades with this, completely incapable of embrasing this digital superpower to multiply prosperity, artificially crippleling it in an effort to use it to multiply profits of a few, instead of the prosperity of many.<br/><br/>Think about all the software you currently use comrade! The one that respects your freedom the most, the one that embraces this superpower. Most of it is written and maintained completely outside of the coorporate structures of our capitalistic system.<br/><br/>This platform, Bitcoin and all the freedom and privacy preserving FOSS you enjoy does not exist because of capitalism, it exist despite of it. 2024-08-27T16:19:47Z
