>But the crypto collapse comes amid growing concerns from computer scientists, engineers, and other technologists about the rise of this unproven, unregulated technology. Weird way to phrase things. The technology is very proven, the application of the technology and the idea that it's worth speculating on specific implementations of the technology to the tune of trillions is what is more controversial. I don't find this article very good and I think the only compelling point just scratches the surface, which is that Bitcoin is an unviable currency when it comes to replacing something like Visa or Cash, but I really don't hear people making that argument anymore (since it's obviously absurd), and Bitcoin isn't the only game in town. The idea is that it's an inflationary hedge that can do smart contracts and dApps, and while I could go into these arguments, I won't.
