I don't know what you see when you look at the new VISA Crypto card logo, but to me it looks like a dust mask with two big cylinders, much like the one worn by Forenzik F. Fornzik. But that's not what I came to talk about, I came to open up a general discussion with this fandom community concerning crypto-currency in general. The idea is an intriguing one, that people are using them dor transactions with wicjed consequences is not in doubt, but that will ve the case with any form of currency won't it?

For my part, I have never even considdered investing in crypto-currency, specifically because it is not real money, it is not backed by any substnce or rhe authority of any nation in the physical world. Al that has to happen is a crypto-currency's sever's get shut down; govenment action, random earthwuake, spilled coffee, you name it... Just look what happened with BitCoin, I mean props to the folks that got tgeir Dollars, Euros, Pounds, etc... Out if that scam while the could, but that's the thing, any sceme is a scam, and in any scam you've got winners,and losers. And when you think about it all the real government supported currencies are practically crypto-cerrency schemes themselves these days, the only thing keeping tgem from imploding is the sheer greed of powerfull people, who will do any ridiculous thing not to lose a single facet of their comfortable life styles.

I can understand the appeal of doing essentially nothing to earn a firm of currency you don't have to carry around and using it to putchase real items you cancarry around, but the troble, as I see it, is that much like Empyrealinvective's stories, it isn't very realistic conceptually.

And we've all read about crypto-currencies being used for illegal transactions on the deep-web, but that's just a result of human nature, the nature of evil that is within us all. It is often said that money is the root of all evil, but I asure you, money is only a sude effect. The root, in truth is that element in us that desires someting large for something small, something more for sonething less. This arises from our basic survival instinct, to protect our bodies and minds from harm while obtaining that necesary to sustain our bodies, and distract our minds from the mondanity of our existence.
