 #Crypto has no socially redeeming reason to exist. It's actually useful for is buying things on the internet that're illegal -not the sort of thing that causes big banks & investment firms & institutional$ managers to flock to something -or a currency. It's a digital bauble that speculators speculate on. Does the overseer of our nat. currency need to promote this made up form of money that proclaims that's goal is to displace our nat. currency?
*A nat. sec. threat.
