In a recent tweetstorm, the Australian programmer took shots at the cryptocurrency world, criticizing it harshly. Palmer says he won\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ummjackson\/status\/1415353984617914370?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">return<\/a> or mingle in cryptocurrency circles because of what the industry represents now. Similarly, the father of Dogecoin criticized several key traits of what some cryptos claim to be. He <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ummjackson\/status\/1415353985406406658?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a> cryptocurrency was a:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u2026right-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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Palmer also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ummjackson\/status\/1415353987503583236?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criticized<\/a> the marketing network behind the crypto industry, which he says preys on financially struggling individuals, getting them to invest their savings hoping to make a quick buck. On this subject, Palmer stated the industry leverages a:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u2026network of shady business connections, bought influencers and pay-for-play media outlets to perpetuate a cult-like \u201cget rich quick\u201d funnel designed to extract new money from the financially desperate and naive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To conclude, Palmer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ummjackson\/status\/1415353986392072196?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slammed<\/a> the idea that crypto is decentralized, stressing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Despite claims of \u2018decentralization\u2019, 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 --> <ins> <ins class=\"growjs-placement\"><\/ins> <\/ins> <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<h2>Dogecoin Was a Joke<\/h2>\n<p>Jordan Palmer was never too fond of cryptocurrencies. For him, Dogecoin was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/technology\/it-was-a-piss-take-the-aussie-behind-joke-cryptocurrency-dogecoin-and-how-it-reached-2-4b-20180125-p4yyvf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joke<\/a>, a mock coin stemming from a meme back in 2013. In any case, he always criticized the fawning and uncritical praise he saw bitcoin proponents give to the currency. For this reason, Palmer has <a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/3722\/dogecoin-inventor-jackson-palmer-regrets-nothing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> bitcoin should have a value tied to the value it provides society. In short, he considers this value to be lacking.<\/p>\n<p>However, Palmer shares something in common with the original proponents of cryptocurrencies: his disdain for the traditional financial system. Basically, Palmer thinks these institutional investors could overturn the real benefits of cryptocurrencies and turn them into mere fiat coins. Palmer hinted at this possibility, claiming banks had the power to do a hostile takeover over Bitcoin back in 2018. And according to some analysts, this has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/jpmorgan-blockchain-real-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">already<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/grayscale-10-billion-500000-btc-bitcoin-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think of Jordan Palmer\u2019s thoughts about the cryptocurrency industry?
