happy you’re here, please tear this industry apart. we need it and it will make us stronger.

The problem I have tearing crypto apart is that I don’t really understand it technically at all detailed level. My objections are all philosophical. It uses up a ton of energy so people can speculate and do arbitrage. How is that worth it? I’ve used it to pay journalists in Afghanistan and appreciate that but I’d rather all this energy be spent ending sanctions. What am I missing?

you’re right that the best use case is open payments

but how did we get them?

by creating decentralized systems that can operate outside of centralized corruption
