> They are also extremely anti-authority

Don't say it isn't so!? The community founded on circumventing existing financial structures are anti-authority? Next you're gonna tell me anarchists don't like individual leaders, or that socialists care about healthcare.

Source: I suppose also "made it out" although it wasn't hard, I left my job, like any other industry. Worth knowing as well that the cryptocurrency ecosystem isn't nearly as "internally" aligned as some people want you to believe, there is a large range in weirdness in the ecosystem, not just what parent above shared.

But that's the thing; they aren't. They just want to be the authority.

There's an irony embedded in both positions. Everyone cares about government, anarchists care about overthrowing the existing government in order to replace it with their own version. Similarly, everyone cares about healthcare, socialists care about other people paying for their healthcare.
