I'm baffled people throw capital into this fiat digital currency that can barely be spent and has no intrinsic trade value. 40 million dollar market cap purely off hopes and dreams?

Sidepost, anybody got a good audiobook source for Das Kapital? I feel like this could sense from a dialectical analysis.

    I know you are not going with "but Marx failed to consider" bullshit, but if you did, and even if Marx somehow had given a cool nice critique of some cryptocurrency-homologue of his time; I don't care what Galileo would have thought of today's astronomy.

    Socialism (or whatever) is not religion. Whatever some centuries-dead-people wrote might be useful and insightful, but they are just early science publications.

      I posted to /c/marxism specifically hoping to find a cool nice critique of some cryptocurrency-homologue of his time or some prediction of how an unhinged capitalist system could produce this almost meta-speculation market.

        Yes, I thought so. It was more of a reminder to myself.
