- giaour 4y agoI can't tell if your comment was made in earnest or meant to troll, but yes, the #1 problem with crypto is that it assumes it can solve a human problem with technology alone.
- DJBunnies 4y agoIt was in earnest. I’m just jazzed about the tech, but I’m not sure how it can assume anything. Regulate the on-ramps however you want, but banning it altogether? What?
- giaour 4y agoBanning crypto would probably be self-defeating, but applying existing regulations to crypto would take care of most issues. If we could collectively stop pretending that a financial instrument is unprecedented just because it's done on a computer, we could leverage existing laws. It's not like we have to ban a new kind of murder every time someone synthesizes a new poison.
- neilv 4y agoThe technology was interesting. But humans have been ruining that space for at least a decade.
