💰 Money should have certain properties. When you think about it, cryptocurrencies were inevitable. It was a technical challenge, but one we always needed to solve.

Money is a store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange. It is NOT supposed to be a way of controlling its users. Money is too important to become a tool of the state or large corporations.

Of course, governments and banks disagree 😬 Which is why CBDCs are one of the big themes to watch in the industry.
