The irony is that this article is correct for “crypto” but not Bitcoin. Every “crypto” could be better done with a database.
But Bitcoin allows journalists like Wikileaks to be paid without it being censored.
You can call that “crime”, but your definition of crime doesn’t comport with natural law.
And censorship resistant money breaks the stranglehold of theft via inflation from the central banks.
It eliminates the primary cause if generational poverty.
I know this site is inhabited by government worshipping authoritarians, but bitcoin will fix that too, eventually.
