I love the idea of cryptocurrency and blockchain validated transactions, but the reality of it is very different.

    I don't like chargebacks being impossible. I think countries being able to manipulate their currency to balance inflation and unemployment has advantages too; if we're going to keep doing this capitalism thing at least.

    Land value taxes funding direct stimulus via UBI are a wayyy better way to control inflation and unemployment imo than interest rates and monetary inflation...

    no chargebacks is a problem tho. that and everyone's past transaction history being public record and not just available to well-accoutable investigative authorities. first mover advantage with crypto is also kinda terrible...
