If somebody got rich without producing anything of value, their purchasing power came from someone else’s hard work. Trying to find a way around that basic premise is how all scams propagate.

    Web3 is stupid

    In order to keep a network that is 10 times larger profitable for its owners, customers would need to pay 10 times as much to use it. Unless you think splitting equipment and facilities across many different parties make their costs 10 times lower. It really should be obvious to everyone that something which costs more to run will cost more to use. How likely do you think such a service is to succeed. Clearly, we have a problem.

    NFT’s are stupid

    NFT’s really are just as dumb as you think they are. Non fungible tokens are links to some resource, usually an image hosted somewhere else, that is assigned to a wallet.  There is only 1 such token and it can only be assigned to 1 wallet, technically, but not really.

    Can you trust stablecoins?

    The purpose of a stable coin is to track the price of some other asset, most commonly, the US dollar. They are crypto currencies just like any other crypto currency, but the central authority that issues them explicitly and deliberately manipulates the market to maintain a desired price. Most stable coins claim to be backed by other assets, which they can use to settle redemption requests or trade with market participants to maintain the price peg.

    Utility tokens are not investments

    I often describe crypto tokens as gift certificates, and utility tokens are the best example of why. You’re basically buying the right to consume a service. In the context of software, it’s basically like buying a license. If you stop here and don’t go any deeper, this all looks pretty good. But of course you know by now I never stop at the surface, let’s go deeper.

    Does Bitcoin help developing countries?

    Since El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender: their bonds have declined in value, their credit has been downgraded, who knows how much money was stolen from Chivo wallets, their stylish backwards hat wearing President has lost money “buying the dip”. So the big question everybody keeps asking is still unanswered, is Bitcoin good for developing countries and the people who live there?
