    Yeah there are lots of bad actors in the crypto sector, similar patterns existed in the US when towns and companies were issuing their own currencies

    And yeah the US and many developing nations have old infrastructure, the EU and China have the pinnacles of fiat payment systems, but the roll out for upgrades are low and expensive

    I couldn’t agree more, it’s a human issue. I think a finite transparent currency would be useful since it would squash the worst actors (fraud, embezzlement and hidden budgets, in the private and public sectors), but that’s just my guess

    I think more importantly is community and having conversations like these because nothing is a “silver bullet” and we should better as a species. Thanks for chatting, you seem cool

      Yep I definitely agree with your last point. And likewise, appreciate that we could have a discussion about this sensibly. Not sure a finite currency would solve these issues as they are human issues. My take would be addressing the human aspect of these problems through education, which is to be fair pretty unlikely to happen.

      As you say though conversation is the way forward, whether we’re taking about crypto or anything else. Cheers :)
