It’s almost like the finance system we have today is the result of complex adaptation. It’s not perfect, but it seems less corrupt, more stable, more approachable, and more useful than the crypto space.

Definitely. Cryptocurrency had a chance to be very useful (to society) in a niche but then it blew up in scope. Now, everyone seems to have missed the forest for the trees.

You can’t fix fundamental problems in modern economics by fixating on the properties of money which can be altered (presumably for the better) through technology?
