Which is why central back digital currencies will be / are a thing.

I've also argued that we already have workable digital currency for regular consumer transactions. I pay my landscaper with Zelle. Who cares that it's denominated in dollars? Point is I can already move money practically wherever I want with the click of a button. And that money is already accepted by everyone I transact with.

Crypto is a solution looking for a problem. And money laundering/crime ended up being the problem they ended up solving. I'm enjoying watching this space slowly grind down / burn to the ground. Good riddance to a level of evil where the perps joke about the fact they're making money helping criminals "they're here for the crime" etc. 18 months is too little time in prison.



Zelle is among the worst, yuck


That maybe, but my bank offers it and so I've used it because it was there, and I have had no problems with it. Which is all I need. It worked without a seconds thought

That's more than crypto offers me.
