It is unclear what 'satoshi' tried to achieve with his 'bitcoin', but what is clear is that bitcoin is a pretty fucked up surveillance tool, like any other public, so called 'blockchain'. Now, there's a short list of 'cryptocurrencies' that aren't as fucked as bitcoin, privacy-wise, and the biggest one of them is monero. So one wonders what the 'free market' valuation of monero looks like? Turns out that in the last few months monero has gone from being in the #10 position, ranked by market share, to being #26. Bitcoin has lost a fair amount of market share too, and the funny thing is of course, that it hasn't lost it to better options like monero. No, both bitcoin and monero are being outcompeted by various shitcoins. So yeah, that's teh 'all knowing' 'free market' that fake libertarians and true technofascists love so much.
