Americans got screwed and no banking executives went to jail. It didn't work. It's one of the reasons Bitcoin was created, per the first transaction in the blockchain.

That regulation didn't work so well 10 years ago. Regulation is for us, not the big dogs.

Use as a currency was the point I was addressing. Bitcoin has been a working network for 9 years with 300,000,000 plus transactions. It's a useful currency.

Bitcoin averages something on the order of 200,000 transactions per day. It's useful to someone.

I take all cryptocurrency projects case by case. This one appears straight up as it's proposing an actual protocol and the associated token actually addresses a problem. Being YC backed ups its cred too. But yeah, 95% of all ERC-20 tok

You still need an agent in classical banking for that transaction, even if the agent is just the bank's server. I'm my own agent and an international network is the bank. Classical banking can't compete with that in the long

Early on, I tried to join in the Wikipedia community. After a couple of years of on-again, off-again BS on the part of those with admin powers, I bailed. Wikipedia is like a weird cult of powermad accountants.
