I can understand peoples' frustration with the artificial scarcity, but would like to see this same energy over the artificial scarcity of housing and free time. The oligopoly of national money systems is currently failing to provide people with basic access to capital. There's nothing intrinsic about cryptocurrency that will necessarily help this or exacerbate it, but the fact that I can get better interest on US dollars by depositing stablecoins on some defi platform, with no gatekeeping, is an indictment of conventional financial institutions more than it is of blockchain tech.
