I mean, if you're opposed to cryptocurrencies even after it's been shown to you both how they currently benefit marginalized groups and how they can potentially benefit yet more marginalized groups, then that does indeed say something about the quality of your character. I wouldn't go so far as to write you off as a "bad person", but I would hope that you reflect on whether one's desire to continue the marginalization of said groups on the basis of "North Korea bad" might preclude one being a "good person".

Sure, until the same Supreme Court that was willing to overturn Roe v. Wade decides it's willing to invalidate such an EO.

Well I would hope so, being a jaded libertarian and all ;)
