In the US, higher small business tax rates are championed solely by the left. This fact is more accurate in characterizing left/right centralized authoritarianism than tech metaphors ever could.

White a pile of horse manure. Big Tech is run by stinkin' liberals which is why they aren't pushing cryptocurrencies? Here's an alternative hypothesis: cryptocurrencies have thus far proven to be good for nothing at all and, as a result, technology companies looking to create actual value have avoided crypto until some value can be found. It's not some liberal plot that cryptocurrencies are mostly usable as a way to…

So far the only mass use-case for crypto has been speculation, so the only success story being Coinbase is fitting.

I don't have a crystal ball, but it seems foolish and short-sighted to imagine we are certain that there are no legitimate uses for crypto.

Also consider the transaction fees it charges for every btc trade. They're going to be around for awhile.
For everybody saying cryptocurrency has no use, you must not remember how much trouble society had envisioning the uses for the very internet upon which we are now posting.
