New report out from the Bank of International Settlements: "cryptoassets have so far not reduced but rather amplified the financial risks in less developed economies."

@molly0xfff It's all a house of cards and at any moment one at the bottom could just slip and fall bringing the whole thing down. It truly scares me how much people refuse to see this just because they see only potential profits from it all.

@molly0xfff You didn't seriously expect the BIS to reach any other conclusion, did you?

@molly0xfff “cryptoasshats” is misspelled throughout.

I read that as "cryptoasses", and it still made sense just fine.

@molly0xfff ...Or put the money in the bank, so inflation can make it worthless (not saying crypto is the solution..) .

Venezuela has now even banned the crypto-mining industry.

Introducing a currency with no safeguards to people with no safe income and currency.

Let's hope that countries take notice of the report you mention.

VIRTUALLY ZERO proponents of crypto currencies actually understand economics.
The very fact that many many proponents still proposed, as recent as last year, that crypto would "crush the banks" and "replace fiat money" says everything.

If grift-ocurrencies were useful, banks would have co-opted them by now.
