Crypto is going to have to bear the load of freedom, as it will be the only way to have private transactions. Not an encouraging idea, to my mind, since nothing beats two guys handing each other something, as far as privacy is concerned. Maybe gold and silver will make a return for such things. I’m leary of crypto’s ability to stay shielded from governmental pirates and other hazards, like a total tech shutdown or something (admittedly, a dubious prospect).
