RE: Bill Gates, “Cryptocurrencies... Caused Deaths In a Fairly Direct Way” In Reddit AMA, Community Reacts

in #technology7 years ago

The funny thing is, he's technically right about the murders. Because there are no third parties and the blockchain is pretty bad about accounting for bad actors who are willing to accost victims in person, people have been injured and even murdered for their currency.

But he's wrong that anonymity is 'the main feature'. Hell, for me it's not even the most important feature. It's one potential tool in a suite of tools that put power back in the hands of the majority of people.

Sort:  

Technically he is wrong since the main feature of crypto curencies is not anonymity. It may be for a few but not most.
