https://gizmodo.com/bill-gates-thinks-cryptocurrency-is-killing-people-in-a-1823381081"The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity."
This statement is unfortunate and lacks vision from a person I believed to be a visionary. This industry is experiencing some growing pains, and the regulators are now trying to weed out the bad actors, but that is to be expected of a new industry.
I'm sure the PC was used by a lot of bad actors as well. There were a lot of comments along that line circulating on social media. Yes, some really bad people have used cryptocurrency, but all really bad people have used Windows...
I can't believe how fast the amount of misinformation has exploded, with media commentators making buy recommendations after laughing at crypto 6 months ago.
I've found it a little surreal to sometimes come across these passionate recommendations from people who have barely gotten involved in this industry, but they smell money so going all out. It's also weird to think that right now of everyone (media talking heads included) chattering about cryptocurrency these days, I'm probably in the top 5% in terms of knowledge, experience, and expertise. Finally it's weird to know that people are drawing their conclusions based on various forms of hype and other fake news rather than the realities going on in this industry. I kind of wish I could talk to everyone, but then the psychology is that people like me aren't exactly listened to as we don't have any particular stature in the way the world looks at it. I can know tons about this industry but the guy who chatters away on TV will be seen as having more credibility just because he's on TV. It's frustrating on one hand, but I guess good if you don't like fame.
PS. I really like this set too:
