The Southern Poverty Law Centre , an advocacy group, has identified over 600 cryptocurrency addresses used by members of the far right. They include ones associated with Andrew Anglin, publisher of a neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer; Andrew Auernheimer, a white-supremacist hacker; and Don Black, founder of a white-power online forum. They advertise their wallets on their websites and social media, asking for donations. And they get them.
The wider crypto scene is often imbued with an anti-establishment spirit. Its fans proclaim that decentralised blockchains will revolutionise finance. This idea appeals to libertarians or those who distrust the traditional banking system. But it also appeals to anti-Semites. Those who believe banks hold too much power because they fear Jewish control over business will be seduced by the idea of an independent or decentralised financial system.
This article is an absolute disgrace. Irresponsible narrative. What's happened to what was once a quality publication?
is trash journalism. A dying breed luckily..
That desperate huh?
Hey minorities keep buying, this is a bullshit post, if anything fiat fits this description
You destroyed your credibility for woke points. I used to be a fan of the economist. Haven't read anything in years.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
What is this absolute drivel?
This race baiting stuff is actually dangerous and providing nothing but more division and paranoia. But who cares right, at least you’ll get a few clicks and make some money 👏
Lol. Your headline could have been like this 'Through the power or cryptocurrencies the accounts of 600 Nazis terrorists were indentified by a 3rd party Organisation' In the normal system, the system prefers, this guys would be still Anonymous
Economist - the worst of all If you only read that bullshit ngmi
disgrace of a headline
This used to be a reputable magazine. What happened? Are you really linking crypto enthusiasts to Anti-Semites? The financial status quo must be really scared to death to play the antisemitism card.
Lmfao, what?
Try reading a book
I can’t do it , but need some non white folks to stand up against these idiots
The charm of cryptocurrencies is to kill socialism.
This again? Lol
They paid someone $50 for this.
Wow, this is gross. Do better.
Oh no, they use toilets. Toilets are bad. We should forbid toilets.
... let's write a story about an absurdly small percentage of crypto holders to make it sound like the devil... well done. Disrespectful.
Must be an election year. Seen a lot of this lately. Liberal media and democrats are eventually gonna go to the well too many times
Everything is good for bitcoin, including this terrible hit piece
George Soros uses bitcoin. In fact he created his own cryptocurrency called SOROS Coin. He is for sure a white supremacist, so that means since he funded antifa and BLM those are white supremacist organizations.
Cancelled.
The U.S. dollar was used by white supremacists to enslave blacks for over 150 years. Bad dollar!
Et tu, Brute?
Is it true that pedophiles read the Economist?
No special treatment will be extended based on actual or preferred identity. The promise of the United States.
Cool story Now do one on the developing economies benefitting from Bitcoin
Thanks , articles like these is why Im glad that I subscribe to the WSJ.
Tell me more....
White supremacists also read . We should have it banned.
Bitcoin has the most diverse population of users measured in any metric you choose, and yes white supremacist are in that group. Also- woman in Afghanistan, also entrepreneurs in Africa, also ranchers in Texas, the list goes on. has lost the plot.
FUD

markgkenny Criminals in general. There have been enough stories already about Crypto money laundering.
Isn't money agnostic like journalism should be? You're wrong anyway, try another boogey man.
Millions of peace loving Americans use crypto. Millions more around the World. Covid hysteria has taught most of us that headlines like this are hateful, divisive, and reveal the intent and character of those who publish them. BitcoinIsHope
Here for an early ratio
The IMF also says if a company holds POW and POS crypto they can't be considered a sustainable company. Get rid of your BTC and ETH for XRP and XLM people...
