> traditional banking will long-term be on the losing end as people who buy into crypto (even as novelty) won't want to "cash out" due to difficulty There is context for this. China and Venezuela's capital controls are why everyone wants to hold renminbi and bolivars.

They want to hold renminbi and bolivars because it is necessary in order to pay taxes.

Neither of those is true, lol

Maybe that's what you do, but that's not what I do, and that's certainly not the hacker way. So instead of saying "this is false", you should be saying "well, this is just, like, my opinion, man."

Your comment adds nothing to the discussion and only serves as an attempt to disregard every point without any reason or fact, and simply because you prefer not to face the facts.

It adds a datapoint (my own behavior) that contradicts the parent's claim of what people will do.

I think what you really mean is "your statement does not contribute to my argument," not "your statement does not contribute to the discussion." There are arguments besides your own, and I am living proof that they live in people.

Maybe your landlord isn't into crypto but some other landlord may be. Also being a little cynical, some landlords may be up for getting rent in an anonymous crypto like zcash and forgetting to pay the income tax on it.

How does the landlord intend to pay tax?

I'm a landlord who accepts crypto.

You can pay tax with a shift payments visa card via coinbase. In general, you pay through an intermediary that swaps it for you, or cash out just what you need to pay tax when you need it.

I have always classified Monaco as one of those ICO projects where they don't even plan to actually implement the business model. Because why would you when you can just party 10 years in Ibiza with the raised ICO funds?

Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency in general. It's the new dot-com boom. How did that turn out last time?

Very well for scammers and serious businesses, not so good for naive people.

There are more naive people than the other kinds.
