He wrote an article titled "bitcoin is evil".
He mostly just seems confused about how bitcoin works but dislikes it anyway because it has a "libertarian agenda"
He quotes Charlie Stross who says
>BitCoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind—to damage states ability to collect tax and monitor their citizens financial transactions.
he says:
>Stross doesn’t like that agenda, and neither do I
but qualifies that statement by saying it doesn't affect his opinion of bitcoin in of itself.
In my opinion these goals, if bitoin had them, would be admirable and if bitcoin is an effective tool what's the problem?
If Krugman is so unsure about how bitcoin works, why does he hate it so much?

Kek, I hope you didn't give them your info.
At least you learned to avoid Varoufakis and his movement. No doubt, there are a lot of young and gullible sycophants who would've just been happy that they got to meet their idol.
Are you still an economic leftist? and if so, aren't you scared crypto will just strengthen capitalism and create a new, stronger, less controllable market economy (just like the lolberts like me who've always supported it hoped it would)?

decentralization is my religion. if we decentralize energy, economics, food production and manufacturing, we can create a side-chain (in blockchain terms) of an economy that is only reliant on current systems as a settling chain.
