Probably a mix of both. I've been following this story and the consultant who came up with the plan charges $10,000 a day in fees to the school district. I think it'd be appropriate to call it fraud at this point, fraud that's cultivated by perverse incentives maybe.
From my personal experience, the people who have participated and gained the most from the traditional financial sector are the most opposed to Bitcoin. This would include most Meta shareholders, I think.
I think they oppose Bitcoin because they don't see a need. The current system has worked for them, so why would they support something that purports to upend the current system?
Came here to say this, you beat me to it.
I think one of the takeaways of Ostrom's work is that stakeholders can come up with their own solutions. You don't need a top down central planner to come up with solutions for them.

I find your posts on Venezuela to be extremely interesting. It's fascinating how misguided government regulations lead to all these unintended side effects and parallel economies

Make an example out of one of them, fire them for disrespect and maybe the others will learn to be more respectful
I wonder if you posted "Only for genius" here on SN, with a fairly simple bitcoin question, whether you could similarly hack engagement
I know a friend who quit because of threatened vax requirements, but he ended up regretting it because the vax requirement never actually got enforced.
I generally try to adapt to organizational requirements
Same... which is why I started reflecting on this question. What organizational requirement would go far enough to make me finally say, "Alright the buck stops here."
Having everything you need already is a good reason to quit. But is there anything your employer could have done that would make you quit even before you had everything set up already?
I think what makes it easier for me to say this is that college profs are usually underpaid anyway, compared to what they could make if they plied their trade in the market.
