Yes. It's ok, the weird part is that it's not from leftists but from a conservative perspective begrudgingly agreeing with and trying to convince leftists to get on board. This is a much better and honest book for them and we've had way more success with @tbsocialist.bsky.social book:

What do you think the left is still getting wrong about engaging with frontier tech? Curious where people land.

This is the end of The Blockchain Socialist - The Blockchain Socialist
After more than six years, I’m retiring The Blockchain Socialist. This isn’t the end but what I believe to be a new beginning that better fits the current moment. I started The Blockchain Socialist in 2019 as a blog, then a podcast, then a YouTube channel, then whatever else it needed to become to keep […]

I want to argue why crypto is important from first principles and that requires a rebrand. My politics also have not changed, I just need a new outlet and a break.
I'm not leaving crypto and still building @breadcoop and @gaskiller_ (and very excited with what we have in store)

What's next: same formats like interviews, essays, video, etc. but a wider lens.
I believe there are multiple frontier technologies on the horizon that have already and will cross traditional political boundaries few people are taking on.

"Crypto" is now the most blocked word on X.
Six years of scams and extraction did that. Anyone not already in the space defaults to distrust before they hear a single argument.
I can't out-argue a poisoned well with a Patreon budget.

I started TBS in 2019 from my bedroom, anonymously, so my boss wouldn't ask questions.
The bet was blockchains were going to matter, and the left had no real framework for engaging with them beyond dismissal and I believe this was correct and turned out true.

Some numbers first:

This statement is super important and totally overlooked by most, in particular by the progressive left.
“… for Varoufakis, crypto represents an opposition to cloud capital. Or at least it can be. “

Five Takeaways From My Q&A With Yanis Varoufakis - The Blockchain Socialist
On June 18th, 2026 at Web3 Summit in Berlin I got to do two things I had been looking forward to for a while. The first was presentation on what I call The K-Hole Economy and the Permanent Underclass. The second was sitting down with none other than Yanis Varoufakis for a 20 minute Q&A, […]
