Jackson Palmer, one of the co-founders of Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD), is in the news after explaining his stance on crypto.
Palmer starts off a string of Tweets by stating that many people have asked him if he intends to return to crypto. The DOGE co-founder responded to that question with a “wholehearted ‘no'”. He then went on to explain why this is his stance.
Here’s a portion of the Tweets made by Palmer.
“After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.
Despite claims of “decentralization”, the cryptocurrency industry is controlled by a powerful cartel of wealthy figures who, with time, have evolved to incorporate many of the same institutions tied to the existing centralized financial system they supposedly set out to replace.
The cryptocurrency industry leverages a network of shady business connections, bought influencers and pay-for-play media outlets to perpetuate a cult-like “get rich quick” funnel designed to extract new money from the financially desperate and naive.
Financial exploitation undoubtedly existed before cryptocurrency, but cryptocurrency is almost purpose built to make the funnel of profiteering more efficient for those at the top and less safeguarded for the vulnerable.
Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today’s capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person.”
The Dogecoin co-founder limited replies to his Tweet but that didn’t stop users from weighing in on the news. Thousands of users Quote Tweeted him with their own responses. Here are a few examples.

Really interesting how one of the Dogecoin "inventors" (@ummjackson) is totally against Crypto and the other (@BillyM2k) became a corrupted NFT shill for his own profit and fame. https://t.co/6aPXFUwvPS
