Unknown type of activity/object

In January 2022 I wrote this article on Crypto. The point was to explain why we have taken a stand against it. For me that stand was really taken 10 years earlier, as friends wanted me to become involved. At the time I read what I could find and concluded that this was all a scam. My opinion has not changed. Over the years it has become clearer for most that it is a scam that not only increases risk for the economy as a whole, increases global warming and electricity prices, it is even being used to undermine our democracy.

@jon

but we still need an easier decentralized way to transfer money. no middleman. something we can build apps on. I agree crypto is not it.

I hope either #interledger or #GNUtaler will be. an open protocol using banks and credit unions like federated servers. #FediForFiat
