So you close Putin's and a couple of other credit cards and let everyone else continue a normal life? Maybe fairer to some individuals (like those already acting in opposition), but certainly a completely ineffective sanction.

This is the first time in the history of humanity that the country leaders can be bypassed and money could be sent peer-to-peer between geographies. There is just no precedent to this (you can't send gold / USD bills on the borders, and when there are banks involved, the leaders could always stop it).

Looks cool, it's interesting that it's still a working system.

This might be a nice property in some cases.

However, the massive speculation and pollution caused by crypto make the overall balance look strongly negative to me.
