Someone can explain to people like him that you can't "shut down" crypto? Just who have real decentralize blockchain of course.
"I think we can actually have a better regulated economy if we had all the data in real time, knowing what people are spending", he says.
Who is regulating? In whose interest?

I almost never agreed with Stieglitz's views, and once again he seems to tell the establishment what they want to hear (very much like Keynes did some decades earlier). Even though I think that 99% of crypto is pure trash and will go bust, shutting everything down (how would this be done, btw?) is completely outrageous.
Another authoritarian who wants total government surveillance over all financial transactions.
And now the reality : No one cares about his thoughts
