I asked bard to summarize: > The article argues that cryptocurrency exploits the vulnerable and exposes them to scams, and that it reinforces existing inequalities. It claims that cryptocurrency does not level the playing field. and then asked for 5 items: > Cryptocurrency is often associated with the American Dream, but it is a cruel promise that exploits the vulnerable. > Cryptocurrency is a volatile and risky investment, and many people have lost money investing in it. > Cryptocurrency is often used for illegal activities, such as money laundering and drug trafficking. > Cryptocurrency mining uses a lot of energy, which is harmful to the environment. > Cryptocurrency is not a regulated industry, so there is no protection for investors if something goes wrong. I don't think there's anything novel with this train of thought, if anything it's not surprising that the US has embraced crypto considering you could replace Cryptocurrency with Capitalism and the previous sentences would still sorta work. As someone who's deep into the crypto field, what I find sad is that most modern cryptocurrencies do not use mining, but the main old one (Bitcoin) still does. The high amount of scam is really sad as well, but the upside is that crypto is quite transparent and so we can detect and even catch a lot of these guys (whereas the banking scams are much more opaque and most of them don't ever see the light of day)
