Nothing like reading a

Nothing like reading a "non-fiction" book, thinking that it's pretty good and expanding my thinking, then running into a couple of paragraphs that talk positively about cryptocurrency (specifically Ethereum).

Not quite throw it at the wall disgusted, but certainly taking the rest of the ideas with a little more skepticism than I was...

I've had a positive real world experience with cryptocurrency, former $work was having issues getting paid for work and materials out of both South and West Africa because of banking and government bureaucracy.

and then it became an investment and money laundering tool..

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th
