    So if the problem is payment, what stops a company from selling “tokens” and those tokens can be redeemed for “anything”?

    That way the visa / mastercard assholes can suck a cock, no?

      Add some massive unregulated grifting and hideous environmental consequences to your idea, and you’ve just invented Bitcoin.

        The whole crypto scene seems like a scheme at the moment… But then you see the bullshit visa / mastercard are pulling and you see the need for a digital currency.

        Any corporation with near monopoly power will ALWAYS fuck up the consumer.
