So, adopting the very nonsense/volatility of cripto, instead of fighting unequality in taxation and global/national true economies, speculation out of control, low real investments toward development, usw.. ? funny. I think Money (not cripto) alone does nothing without deep ideas to extend/regain some real -civilization-.

Ideas are a better way to extend a civilization or to have the essence that makes it good live on in other civilizations.

I’m not sure I understand the argument. Is he saying crypto will be viable as an alternative to traditional reserve currencies once stable coins are actually stable? I’m a little confused.

Either way, we’re gonna burn this planet down before the money runs out. A process accelerated by crypto mining. cough

The environmental issues with bitcoin make it a bad choice for any application.

The idea might be good though but it is hard to imagine that the major powers won't have a strong hand in its inception if it ever occurs.

This is the wrong way to think about it. Apart from bitcoin, what other things have you worried about their environmental impact? If it's economical viable it's viable - we either have a free market or not. You cannot just ban things you don't like 'cause of "the environment"

Agreed. Five eyes law enforcement is already all over crypto; can’t imagine they’d go easier if it became geopolitically influential.

It's amazing what crazy stuff people will believe!
