Vielen Dank für den positiven Take, @zeit.de @lauraewert.bsky.social ! Beim "anderen Weg" (Restaurants kochen freiwillig für Arme) wäre ich skeptisch. Aber: wir stellen als Kiezkantinen-Team der Berliner Linken bald unser ausführliches Konzept vor und freuen uns, wenn ihr das weiter begleitet!

Kiezkantinen: Der Staat hat gekocht
Die Linkspartei will in Berlin mit staatlichen Kiezkantinen gegen Armut und Einsamkeit kämpfen. Dabei gäbe es noch einen anderen Weg an den gemeinsamen Esstisch.

A credit theory of anti-credit money: How the cryptocurrency sphere turned into a shadow banking system
Cryptocurrencies were designed to function as money without banks. How, then, could they run into a banking crisis in 2022? We argue that the evolution of the crypto sphere into a credit based syst...

#Crypto began as an anti-state, anti-credit project. Now it's an integral part of the state-backed credit system - just think of Trump’s 'Bitcoin Reserve'. How and why did this happen? Find answers in our new open-access article in @ripejournal.bsky.social: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
