"When Bitcoin started to get big, I started to notice that the old conspiracy theories that I recognized from Wall Street were starting to show up with alarming regularity in the discussions around Bitcoin.

It's rotten to the core.

Information society interprets exploitation as damage and routes around it.
In my sci-fi epic set in the late 21st century where the world has moved to global knowledge economy France is specialized in pig farming because "Knowledge is power, France is bacon". I will call it "Capital Shrugged". #justkiddingbutonlyhalf

When I eat Chiquita bananas, I'm reminded how they lobbied US to overthrow democratically elected government of Guatemala. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Fruit_Company#Guatemala
The lyrics for "Goody Two Shoes" are quite different from what I remember.
