Crypto, including Bitcoin, is bad.

And doesn't really solve any of the problems it claims to solve.

If it did solve any of those problems in a real and practical way, it wouldn't need an increasingly powerful lobby spending hundreds of millions of dollars so far on this year's US elections (nearly 40% of all corporate election spending in 2026).

Crypto in 2026 is just another financial engineering scam looking for ways to grab the money of pensioners, etc.
