The linked article [1] from 2019 has this: > Honestly, cryptocurrencies are useless. They're only used by speculators looking for quick riches, people who don't like government-backed currencies, and criminals who want a black-market way to exchange money. I guess “cryptocurrencies” could be replaced in this paragraph by many other things (past, present and forthcoming) that allow exchange of value and this would ring true to some or many people. The entire article had many great points, but this paragraph sullied it. I have a lot of respect for Bruce Schneier and his work, but I also realize that every human has their own biases and blind spots.
