I like your measured view of crypto. I still am not convinced by your argument, mainly because I do not believe in capital as something to be protected, but I do think that regular people having the means to act apart from government oversight is good.

My issue is still that it doesn't level the playing field. The benefits of privacy and decentralization for the wealthy outclass what benefits the rest of us get from the same thing. It's just another way for the rich to get richer, while the poor stay poor.

While good things are done with it, my opinion is that it's still a net negative.

Either way, have a lovely day. Hopefully I didn't come off too harsh.

Compared to some people I've talked to, you are quite levelheaded.
