There are plenty of scams in the cypto world, in fact mostly anything related to crypto is scam/speculation. But I believe there is also a quiet revolution.

As far as mainstream financial organizations/economists/experts etc. are concerned, they have really no clue on the underlying revolution and transformation that is secretly underway because of crypto. Either that, or it dawns on them that the status quo will be disrupted, and then have a very predictable outburst: cite every imaginable crime being preferentially enabled by crypto.






Could you show us examples of that secret revolution?

It does seem to be very secret because I've been waiting for it for fifteen years, first excitedly, then frustratedly.


It's mostly happening in the 3rd world with unstable/high inflation currencies but who have internet access. We here in the 1st world have relatively stable financial systems so most people do not feel the need for crypto, except the anarchists.

Links? I've been hearing this for probably 8 years now.

No links, I know an acquaintance of mine who knows somebody in the third world.

*quiet

Thanks.
