to be fair to them they kind of do blow my mind, just not for the reasons they intended.

"monetary energy stored": meaningless
"FinTech layer 2 platforms & layer 3 applications": ok I didn't know whether this was meaningless or not so I googled it and apart from an ad for IBM it was all buttcoin poo poo so I'm going with meaningless
"breadth of institutional & individual investors": not in fact a property of cryptocurrencies
"power of miner network": dumb, inconsequential
"nodal diversity": meaningless
"brand strength": not in fact a property of cryptocurrencies
"cultural, political and legal support": not in fact a property of cryptocurrencies
"regulatory clarity": loving lol ok that's enough

the amount of white cis men in tech who get to keep their jobs and reputation while shilling for crypto in their full-self-driving teslas is a good indication of how little of it all is really a meritocracy

as evidenced by the two above examples, you can spew total buzzword jargon out of your mouth and if you have the correct social trappings, you will be praised as a visionary instead of being exposed as a dumbass who knows gently caress all about anything

this quite probably extends to further than just tech, too

I imagine being into bitcoin can actually help, if your goal is not to have gay sex. Or any type of sex, really.

assuming plans haven't changed since I last heard about this it's basically a completely pointless replacement of the pound so the bank of england wouldn't have to produce physical currency any more, which makes a lot more sense when you realise that would basically be an end to street begging and cash in hand contract work and these are the tories we're talking about

also it wouldn't actually be a crypto thing because it would still just be the pound sterling, not even the tories are dumb enough to replace the currency wholesale with a crypto

Its supporters in the Treasury say that it would allow the Bank to give the economy a boost in times of financial crisis by paying the 'Britcoins' directly into people's bank accounts.

A thing entirely impossible with legacy money, of course, I say as I queue behind my coworkers with a wheelbarrow to receive my salary in person from the eurocent spigot.

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

I'm not reading all of that but just based on the blurb in the tweet it looks like they're proposing the government would launch their OWN cryptocurrency.

Which is the part I've never understood about crypto enthusiasts, even if the problems did magically work out and it scaled and people just decided they never needed chargebacks or the ability to reclaim stolen money again or the thousand other problems all of this nonsense has, why would I want YOUR coin, vs the governments coin that my job would actually pay me in and the government would force businesses to accept?
