Crypto is a horrible implementation of blockchain technology.
It is a start, but yes, it seems like it is.
Ever wonder what main function it will grow up to be used in?
I do and I def don’t have all the answers but my thoughts are more towards archiving and verification than currency.
Having a block chain tracker for commodity tokens tied to real value things like kcal of soy/wheat/corn or kwH of power would get us off of fiat debt based currency and avoid the vast majority of the scarcity of precious metals that led to the devils bargain when we sold the entire world economy to the banks.
I’d much rather have values based on actual created value than oligarchy imagination.
