Bitcoin is more religion and cult than anything. Of course they think it's great or at least able to hand wave criticisms.

And yeah, consensus is a hard problem to solve for. Many have taken the route of least resistance and implemented what is known to work.

Mining is only one strategy for concenous, but yes it is a pretty rudementary and inefficient version.

Please Google the difference between private, public and (crucially) personal property.

I don't think even most communists think that my guy.

You just don't have class consciousness my friend and some of the terminology associated. That's fair, it's not always easy and it's also purposely obscured from you.

It's easiest to think about people in two classes. Workers and Owners. There's a bit of gray area, but it's a very useful distinction. How do you make most of your money; owning property/factories/ip, or selling your labor for a wage?

Profit is not the same thing as "making money". It's explicitly the extra money made by the capitalist after material and labor is paid. You pay 3 dollars of labor and 2 dollars of materials to make 6 dollars of revenue, you have made 1 dollar of profit. Arguably that dollar of value was made by the worker, but extracted by the capitalist.

Obviously the workers don't do it for free, but the capitalist still isn't making the art. **The workers do. You aren't a capitalist. You have false solidarity with your masters.

Capitalists own assets for a living and extract labor value in the form of profit. In this case, the intellectual property.

Laborers actually do the work to create the product.

You do not need someone else to own the art for it to be created. You do need labor for it to be created. Hope that clears it up for ya.

Artists and writers brought you this source material. Labor did it.

But it's not the truth, and there are so many first hand accounts of US officials saying exactly otherwise. Stay closed minded if you like, but you are wrong.

That last bit is incorrect and basically propaganda. If you care to learn why, this video is amazing (but long) https://youtu.be/RCRTgtpC-Go
