I’ve only heard complaints about the characterizition of some human bodies roaming the streets of SF. I’m not beyond changing my mind about anything but retorting with name calling is hypocritical and not productive.

There are people in this world who have no choice but to grow up surrounded by that, and whining that it makes you uncomfortable does nothing to solve the roots of the issue. If anything a crypto startup these days is likely exacerbating inequality in the world.

Everybody is “whining” that it makes them uncomfortable, which is why it’s an issue. Should people say nothing when they see injustice? Crypto companies exacerbating inequality? We fight every day to bring financial inclusion and a fairer system to the world.

Cryptocurrency is a fairer and more inclusive system than fiat/government currency because it’s global, it cannot be censored or sanctioned, it’s transparent, predictable, and completely open and available to everyone, without the need for any intermediary’s permission.

Facebook and Twitter had high aspirations for the good their services would create, and some good they did do. But also their naïveté allowed them to do a lot of bad too. Many of those poor decisions seem driven by a lack of empathy or awareness that’s reflected here.

Actually, they are. Many people around the world are excluded from global finance and commerce. Ever take a credit card from a guy in Nigeria? Ever try the best dates in the world from Iran? Ever experience hyperinflation in Venezuela? Ever burn your nations’s cash for warmth?
