There are many objections to crypto on this site and they're almost never about privacy or security. It's disingenuous to pretend that:

- stability

- throughput

- power consumption

- taxation

- monetary policy capabilities

are all made-up objections from people watching too much cable news.

Yes, the consequence of crypto's failure to support a large subset of these is best distilled as "this is useful for criminals, grifters and not many others."
