Money is not a store of value. It's a store of anti-value. Wars, ecological destruction, and inequality are direct results of the Economics of money. Cryptocurrencies say that they are doing social good, but are they?
If you think you're designing a crypto that will solve social and ecological problems, think again. Your crypto won't solve the problem you wish it would. This is because the destruction of the planet and erosion of culture are only "side effects" of the economy because we put the word "side" before the word "effect". We are brainwashed to believe that the "invisible hand" in a death economy will provide a fair market value for things, despite all evidence to the contrary. Don't believe the death cult. Cure the mind virus in this quick talk that will help you redesign currency in a way that is aligned with creating real value in the world.
