What if... crypto currency has been a psyop all along. Ultimately eliminating physical currency and government having full blown control of digital currency.
How? By suddenly doubling the size of the mining pool? Nah.
The government closed the gold standard at once didn't they? Who is to say they cannot not do the same and say physical paper money?
What's that have to do with cryptocurrency?
Oh I'm trying to suggest that like many technologies. The infancy of it is laced with people who are scamming others. Medicine had a go about with this phase as well; and to my understanding is now widely regarded as a "good move". Even if some dude use to sell cocaine mixed with alcohol and called it medicine because it made you feel better.
