"We don't like crypto for the sake of crypto—it's just the only viable way to create a new currency."

Really? The only viable way? It's like they've never heard of a bank. Banks accept deposits in USD. They invest those deposits in safe instruments like US treasuries. They return the deposit when requested. The deposits are insured by the FDIC. Just start a community bank and donate the proceeds to GiveDirectly. Poof, no crypto needed.
