I mean i enjoy the idea as well, it doesn't change that our socioeconómico (i'll leave this autocorrect lol) system is controlled by the giant financial institutions, and the moves they're making with regards to crypto are only to ensure their existing positions

yes i love the ideas of crypto. but the irs checkbox about owning it gives me pause.
the trouble seems to come when the credit union decides it needs to “scale “ sort of defeating the original thing that made it any good. perhaps that comes from just greed (ie the ability to charge fees on a larger customer base) or maybe it’s a requirement of the costs of providing an ever-widening array of newly “expected” services.
