sMiles app will let you earn Bitcoin for simple everyday activities such as walking or playing games.
The app is based on the Lightning Network, Bitcoin's second-level scaling solution.
“sMiles stands for sats&miles.
What is some sort of activity that could really benefit from this type of incentivizing? Cooking?

The startup, StandApp, will soon launch SMiles, an app that allows users to earn crypto for performing simple everyday activities. CEO of Shape Igor Berezovsky says he wants to make people healthier, wealthier, and happier.

Shape was started in 1999 and appears to be a company that makes apps. "SHAPE is one of a few startups worldwide that managed to develop more than one bestselling app." Started an app called IM+ that aggregates all your messages from all the different apps.

According to Berezovsky, users will get satoshis even for driving, although not as much as for walking since the app wants to promote a healthy lifestyle.

This got me thinking about the future. Is this one of the standards we are going to see over the coming years ? Brave was the first one to do this. Is this going to make users lazier or healthier? Like getting paid for Beta testing a video game? What's the incentive for getting paid for driving? Or running? Gamifying life seems dangerous but also kinda cool. Having sex?

What is the incentive for an app to pay for running? Is this the new model?

Decentralized Finance: The future of cryptocurrency. It's time for Karim and spearhead the CryptoBasic breakdown of this space in the longest episode that CryptoBasic has ever recorded. We go over everything from Liquidity Farming, to Rug Pulls, and more. This episode spent nearly 6 months on the shelf. It's something of a swan song for the CryptoBasic team as they just couldn't keep the project afloat without sacrificing their morals.…

Hello everybody and welcome to the Crypto Basic Podcast! Now, before you start rage-tweeting us, we know we've been away for quite some time, but people need vacation, and we're definitely people. Besides vacation though, we decided that the Crypto Basic Podcast will be releasing episodes less often, but with more concise and in-depth information. By releasing weekly episodes, we're doing a disservice to the quality of the podcast as sometimes we scramble to find interesting stuff that frankly, sometimes is just not there, and that way we're doing a disservice to you, the listener. However, we're not going anywhere. Sorry haters. So, expect less but better Crypto Basic goodness from now on. In today's episode we talk about Sushiswap, a decentralized exchange on the Ethereum blockchain that shows a lot of promise. There has been some drama -its creator fucking up big time, that is- that we didn't cover because we recorded this episode about a week ago and didn't release it in time, but talking about the project and its ins and outs still made for a very interesting and engaging discussion. Tune in to find out more!…

Episode 246 - Crypto Scams through Tik Tok? 50:50

5 years ago50:50

50:50

Welcome to the Crypto Basic Podcast! Joining you are Brent "Pump and Dump" Philbin, Adam "The TikToker" Levy, and Karim "You guys are insane" Baruque. Our issue for today is a call to action posted on TikTok, that urges users to invest 25$ in dogecoin en masse, leading to artificial inflation of its price, AKA a pump and dump. We discuss its implications, it's dangers, and what it means for the future of crypto that these kinds of things are now reaching the teen and preteen demographics. Tune in now! Hey Karim, what's the price of Dogecoin?? Dogecoin spikes 1900% in 2 days. Global search interest in “how to buy dogecoin” also skyrocketed from a score of 25 to 100, the highest possible search popularity score, over the past few days, according to 12-month Google Trends data analyzed by CoinDesk. Why is Dogecoin spiking?? Not entirely sure the exact origin of it but a few TIk Tokkers posted a video talking about how if you invest $25 into Dogecoin you get 10k shares. if it goes to $1 we all make $10k. then people started buying it and it actually spiked 20% tuesday. Effect of Tik Tok on crypto. Gen Z is growing up. Do you think they will adopt? Could this be the start of a bull? This could also be the start of another Bitconnect with people getting hurt by a pump and dump. Could be a bunch of Dogecoiners getting together and trying to get the coin to blow up on tik tok. Things can go viral there in a hot second. Videos on videos coming out talking about how Doge is a good investment. For those who don't know, Jackson Palmer, the CEO of Dogecoin, created it as a memecoin bc Coinmarketcap and Doge memes were the two tabs open in his web browser. It has no real use case.

Episode 245 - Where are they now? 1:01:29

5 years ago1:01:29

1:01:29

Welcome to another episode of the Crypto Basic Podcast! Today the gang is doing a self-reflective session on our predictions and critique of various coins and projects throughout the time the podcast has been active. How did we do in making judgments and assumption on projects such as Substratum, Kucoin, Bitcoin Hex, Tether, Divi, Dragonchain and others? Did our scam callouts turn out to be scams? All of the above and more on today's episode of the Crypto Basic Podcast. Coins CryptoBasic called out on previous shows, how did they end up? Substratum Episode 1 Episode 2 Our position on the? VERY hard scam. We had 3 full episodes and talked a lot of shit with their community. Subreddit has been dead since 9 months ago. Highest price point AFTER the 2017 bubble - $.82 in May of 2018. For reference we released the first episode warning listeners of the scam in November of 2018. They raised $13M in ICO funds and delivered nada. They announced that they were seeking private funding in September of 2019, and now it is a completely dead project. Verdict - WE WERE RIGHT Kucoin Episode where we first mentioned Kucoin Our position on them? Lukewarm. Mike really liked them, but I didn't like their pyramid style marketing. I also had some issues with their interface. I never went so far as to call them a scam, but never trusted them with a single cent. We did pull the referral bonus from the shownotes. We called the flags "offwhite" Hilariously shitty MLM style video. They're still operational, subreddit is booming, and they're one of the exchanges with name recognition. Storytime about Kucoin. My first troll. We did cover some of the red flags over the course of the time after we talked about them. They had some issues with where their location was and they got Highest price point after the 2017 bubble - $4.99 May 2018 Current price as of recording - $.81 Verdict - We were basically wrong here. More risk than a high end exchange, but they're ranked just below Gemini. Cryptopia Our position on the scam: I wouldn't put my money on the site. Didn't call them an outright scam. Went down on July 3, 2019. They're still in liquidation. People will not be made whole. Bitcoin Hex This is an ongoing scam - I want to do a red flags episode which we'll record next week on Bitcoin hex. Right now, they're still kicking. What I remember is that Trevon James, a previous Bitconnect shill, was shilling it. I went to his Youtube. HO LEE SHIT Some great fucking titles "5 steps to turn $200 into $200,000 with Cryptocurrency" Vitalik Sent me $600,000 worth of HEX How to Make Money with Crypto (holding up stacks of USD cash) Why HEX can EASILY reach $1 Hex is up 315% what a scam right? Verdict - Episode next week. Tether Our position - Tether is a scam. It is not backed, and you cannot trust it. Price - $1 Price - $1 Stop using Tether Tell Story about how easy DAI is Divi Episode on the Divi Project This was a coin we did a 101 on and Karim and Mike definitely disagreed on the evaluation. Karim didn't call it a scam, he just didn't like the project. Here's what I remember about Karim's negative thoughts - this was the only coin that ever had one of their team members have a rational response to it. Coin Market cap doesn't have data that far back, oddly, but the earliest they have the price was $.009. per coin b ack in November of 2018. Today's price - $.04 - a 440% increase Verdict - Wrong for now, probably eat crow. 79th in Market Cap Dragonchain Our positoin - Lukewarm again. Karim didn't say it was scam, he just didn't really like it. This was a project that was essentially making itself turnkey ICO launchers. Well ICOs aren't really a think anymore and their first ICO's didn't go well. The subreddit isn't VERY active but it is actiev. Post 2017 bubble highest price - May 2018 $1.35 Current price $.089 Verdict - Right to be skeptical of the project, certainly not a scam yet. FCoin Our stance - we released an episode called "Is Fcoin a scam" our answer was fucking yes it was. If you go there on coinmarketcap - it says "we have received reported of impeded withdrawls due to insolvency" They shutdown around February 2020 and blamed "poor auditing" for the shutdown, as they were transferring out tons of money from their cold wallets.…

Episode 244 - Notes on the Federal Reserve 41:15

5 years ago41:15

41:15

Welcome to the Crypto Basic Podcast! We'd been gone for a little while (blame our editor and his "exams", yeah right) but we're back and this week we're talking about the big ol' Fed, which announced that it will start buying individual corporate bonds. What does that mean for the economy and the banking system? What the hell are SMFCCs and SPVs? And are they sexually transmitted diseases, or do they just sound like that? Tune into today's episode for the answer to this truly profound and engaging question, and many many more. Fed says it is going to start buying individual corporate bonds The Federal Reserve said Monday it will start buying individual corporate bonds. In order to “support market function and eases credit conditions.” they added functions to its Secondary Market corporate Credit Facility (SMCCF) SMCCF? - It is a Special Purpose Vehicle launched by the Fed in March SPV? - A subsidiary created by a parent company to isolate risk Basically creates separate company with isolated balance sheet SPV operations limited to acquiring and financing specific assets SPV may be created solely to securitize debt so that investors can be assured of repayment. Can help companies securitize assets, create joint ventures, isolate corporate assets, or perform other financial transactions. Fed is trying to ensure banks continue to lend to corporations The SMCCF then buys corporate bonds and Bond ETFs, To encourage lending by ensuring demand for the bonds But it was only started with bond ETFs…. So lets talk about these functions So whereas before it was “passively” buying ETFs at fair market value is (metrics and restrictions) Now it has $750b to buy individual corporate bonds directly (with a maturity of within 5yrs) This is on top of ETFs in the market The loans will be tailored to small- and medium-sized companies and can range from $250,000 to $300 million. Dow went from down 700 to a +157pt spike after announcement Fed has yet to launch its Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility.…

Episode 243 - Bitmain Coup? 36:00

5 years ago36:00

36:00

Welcome to the CryptoBasic Podcast! This time around we don't go over a lot of things - we just focus on the basics, the important info, the headlines. Kung Fu, private militias, corporate coups, you know, the good stuff. If this sounds weird to you, tune in to find out what the heck has been going on with Bitmain and how the crypto space can sometimes offer stories and incidents that are truly hollywood-worthy. What is Bitmain exactly? Bitmain produces ASIC miners for the Bitcoin Blockchain. The Antminer. Basically the gold standard in mining gear. They also run Antpool, which is a big mining firm that has a lot of hashpower - but they aren't the biggest. Remember when we covered this in a flagship? Lets go back over . This was back in October 2019. Jihan Wu sent an e-mail to the entire Bitmain team that said that Ketuan Zhan was dismissed from the company. Wu was then given the roles of executive director and legal representative. Then is, Zhan still had 36% of the company in shares, and it wasn't clear what was happing with them. Zhan then filed a lawsuit in the Cayman islands to try and stop this from happening. They also filed to go public in the US with the SEC right before all of this. Zhan wins a victory in April. So the Bejing District Bureau if Justice actually went ahead and blocked Bitmain's attempt at replacing the legal representative with their current CFO. Even though Jihan Wu was the representative, Bitmain wanted to switch. This has been in courts since Jan 2. He was then granted the right to return to his post as legal representative. When he tried to attend the beaureau to collect his registration, he was surrounded by those loyal to Wu, and his license was grabbed from his hands. Then shit got physical, details are sparse. There's now TWO official seals somehow. Zhan wasn't in possession of the real one because it was physically taken from him. I guess in Chinese law the physical seal is pretty important. So there are now two serial numbers and there's dispute as to which one is accurate. Getting more interesting So most of the staff was working from home because of the Pandemic On June 4 Zhan actually sent all employees a notification via wechat that he was back in the office starting the day before, and that they needed to return to the office to work. There's literally a video out there of Zhan marchingg on the Bitmain offices with armed guards So he used his private guard force to enter the office and has apparently seized control. He was handing out $10,000 worth of Yuan for anyone that showed up to the office to work with him. He made a public decree to finish the IPO and have a market cap of over $50M in 5 years. It looks like Zhan has taken control of the company's Wechat account, and has been posting saying that the "new" seal is the official seal. Karim's video suggestion…

Episode 242 - US Monetary Outlook 1:17:10

1:17:10

Today the gang's all here, gathered around the fireplace, eating metaphorical marshmallows as papa Karim, our resident economist, busts out the spit facts. We're going over the current economic state of the US, monetary strategies, how they affect economies and trade between them, and much, much more. So, grab a stick, poke a marshmallow and relax while Karim gets them FACTS into your brain. The U.S. Treasury Will Borrow A Record $3 Trillion This Quarter As Stimulus Spending Soars Over last two months Congress has authorized more than $3 Trillion in emergency stimulus In order to come up with that cash the Treasury will have to issue record breaking amount of debt Last quarter, the Treasury borrowed about $500 billion, and it plans to borrow another $677 billion in the third quarter. relatively cheap to borrow with record low interest rates (10 year note yielding about 0.6%) The Treasury’s numbers only account for legislation that has been passed to date. Another stimulus package is in the works US Debt big picture $25 Trillion threshold crossed, $7 trillion in the last 5 years According to data from the US Treasury growth is $1.2 million per minute $1.7+ billion per day National Debt Clock Every 15 secs our tax revenue is falling by like 100k Debt per citizen $75,600 Per Tax payer though that’s $200,000 Currency Creation (M2 Money supply) +$100,000 every few seconds Who owns that debt? Majority of US debt owned by Americans (investors, fed, banks). 30% owned by foreign entities China and Japan more than 1 Trillion each Debt to GDP 2019 -publicly held federal debt was almost 80% percent, $17 trillion According to CBO estimates then, debt was already rising faster than the economy and was projected to reach 98% by 2030 now at 107% and projected to 108% by 2021 , our record was 106% year after WWII Another chart shows Gross debt to GDP after WWII at around 118% Checked again this morning on Nat debt clock, looks like we broke this barrier as of 5/21 119.08% Saw this back of envelope simplifications 35m to 1 reduction US as household Income - 100k p/yr Debt - $714k Unfunded liabilities (medicare,SS,VA) - $4.2m International perspective 06-18 FWIW Trump said if he gets re-elected he’ll wipe the debt =) he said that last time too and it was +5Trillion going into this (last time we cleared the debt was Andrew Jackson 1835) Interesting quote though to keep this in perspective - “If the Fed didn’t take these and other emergency measures, “the system already would have blown up,The markets would have crashed 10 times over.” - Tim Duy University of Oregon (Economist, US Treasury) Modern Monetary Theory , Is there a limit? MTT points out a government that controls its own currency can't default on debt But defecit + interest rates increase outstanding debt, is there a limit? Sustainability does not require the government deficit to be zero, or surpluses it requires that the debt increase at the same rate, or more slowly than, GDP growth Parts of MMT rely on the President and Congress to fight, at some point, the inflation created by money printing by either tax increases or reducing government spending. But this ignores the political realities that easy for fed to print, but hard for politicians to tax more or cut spending MMT also "ignores distributional effects of paying for borrowing" Essentially MMT tends to consider debt payment as occruing between two players within the economy As we mentioned before, irl USA has 30% of debt owned by foreign entities Interest payments to those investors reduce the income flowing to U.S. residents, making Americans less well off. This would be justifiable if today’s spending raised income and living standards in the future So this is not just a problem of scale, but of allocation Here is the catch 22 If we keep creating money, there is going to be inflation unless we raise interest rates (which makes borrowing /spending more expensive) “too much money chasing too few goods” If we raise interest rates, we exacerbate the debt problem Devaluing the currency ? strong currency is not necessarily in a nation's best interests. Weak Domestic currency makes exports more competitive, while making imports more expensive Having more exports spurs economic growth, pricey imports can stimulate local consumption wealth effect also takes hold here as widely held assets prices rise, making ppl feal wealthy Dangers Devaluation hurts citizens purchasing power overseas Can lower productivity by making capital equipment and machinery more expensive to import Strategic devaluation doesn't always work though, and here we can get currency wars Strategic reasons to devalue currency To boost eports (as explained) To shirnk trade defecits If your country was importing too much and exporting too little this can be used to achieve a better balance while Many countries run persistent imbalances, Economic theory says this isnt sustainable The important one here, to reduce Sovereign Debt Burdens If debt payments are fixed, a weaker currency makes these payments effectively less expensive over time. Say you had to pay $1m each month in interest on outstanding debt… if that same $1m becomes less valuable its easier to pay it off If we devalue currency by half we effectively owe only 500k value wise “The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that,” former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said on NBC in 2011. “So there is zero probability of default.” But most goverments are doing very similar things, central banking is the world standard. so as grim as this looks for the US, and arguably the dollar, the fact that it looks so much worse in other fiats creates flight to the dollar Central Bank Foreign Currency Reserves are 61% Dollars, next best is Euro at 21% Also remember that our discussion on devaluing local currencies applies to tons of countries that do business with the US, like China and Japan (the largest debt holders) Not Unfathomable According to Juan Zarate's "Treasur Wars", Russia approached China in 2008 with a plan for a coordinated sale of government-sponsored debt to exacerbate America's financial crisis. China thankfully declined. Still Over a trillion USD countries and companies need to make interest payment on dollar-baseed debt…

Episode 241 - Contact Tracing: A Crypto Solution to the Pandemic? 47:03

5 years ago47:03

47:03

Welcome to another episode of the Crypto Basic Podcast, where today we’ll be talking about -surprise surprise- the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s not a random commentary episode though, no general rambling, but a discussion on what we think might be a possible solution for the coronavirus crisis: Contact Tracing. Decentralized, blockchain based, anonymous and, as far as the data predicts, VERY effective. Tune in now to learn the ins and outs of it, and how it would revolutionize pandemic management. Relevant Links NCase.me Website that has the covid playable simulators Source Code for DP-3T Labs A website we've referenced on the show before - ncase.me . This is a great website and it takes you step by step through the process of epidemiology. Why is the virus acting like it does, what ways could it act if things were different? You can play with the simulations to see how even one little thing about the virus changes, and it brings everything into or out of balance. After going on and on down the line, they come to this conclusion - the lockdown doesn't do anything but flatten, and then inevitably reset the curve. Testing doesn't solve the problem, and neither does herd immunity. Enter contact tracing. So what is google building with contact tracing? Well Google isn't exactly building it, but they are funding it. This is being created by a company called DP-3T. Which is a cute short name for Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing. It is being worked on by cytologists, but it isn't using blockchain. Phones will broadcast via bluetooth what looks like a wallet key every few minutes. If you're close to another phone, your phones will exchange strings. Both phones store those strings for 14 days. If someone gets covid, they're marked as being in a hospital / doctor. The doctor can put in a one time passcode that confirms that the phone holder has been diagnosed with covid. Positive strings get stored in a database, and phones check the database every 5 minutes for any strings that they've heard recently. It's compatible with anyone's app that uses the source code, and the code is public. I see an interesting future, where if this were implemented properly with a public database and zero knowledge proofs, it would solve the problem and keep liberties in tact. The Nuance of the argument. Why it's hard to know where to stand. Fuck Plandemic…

Episode 238 - Should you trust Binance? 1:02:56

5 years ago1:02:56

1:02:56

Welcome to the show people! Today the gang assesses a hot topic - a user claimed on reddit that Binance "took" money from him and it blew up. Even CZ commented and got blasted. Also, we take a look at an admittedly cringy article listing the "7 deadly sins of CZ". What a day. Tune in now! Relevant Links: Reddit user calls out Binance for "accidentally" taking 12061.48 and won't give it back. CZ Responds to the reddit user The user posts some so called proof proof Some more so called proof Another user piggy backs off of the hype and posts "7 Deadly Sins of Changpeng Zhao" Wayback machine of CZ calling out OK coin So What happened? Text of the Post background on the 28th of January I happend to be trading on the futures platform. Due to a mistake by binance my orders weren’t executed and I was liquidated. Well I opened a ticket demanding back my funds. After a couple months of mails every 2 or 3 days. Binance denied everything and weren’t giving back the money, so I opened another ticket. This time I didn’t ask for a refund up front. Binance straight up told me it was their mistake and that they would compensate me 3bnb. Well I didn’t take that well, so I asked for my full amount back. Binance went in to a defensive mode and decided mixing up different cases would settle the issue. (Binance had messed up again and I lost 3600 USDT, so they compensated me 1018 USDT) they told me they had already compensated me and that I shouldn’t ask for more. When I called them out on the fact that the cases weren’t related, they told me they weren’t going to give me the 12061.48 USDT back anyway. I pointed out that by admitting their mistake in this ticket they broke their own policy. It states that Binance has to execute a trade. After I mentioned this they went silent, I have bugged support every 2 days, but I have not received anything as of yet and it has been almost a month. I wanted more people to know as Binance is the biggest in the industry, and they bury the negative very easily. I need your help in demanding an answer for Binance her mistakes. He explained more a little further down In response to if he got liquidated I did, but it is more complicated than that. I was trading on the futures platform. My positions weren’t doing well so I made the decision to close them. I have a screenshot of the positions before they were closed and after they were closed. Anyways I closed the positions market bought them. (I was shorting) well you’d think that was it. I screenshotted the fact that I had just 12k left. And it showed no open positions. After 4 hours however I get notifications from my phone that I were about to be liquidated, I opened my phone and my positions were still open. And were almost all liquidated. Binance told me that I experienced the “app disconnection issue” I don’t know what this means. They however told me it is only common on the app and that is my responsibility for not trading on pc. Support shows up to respond https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ga027j/binance_accidentally_took_1206148_and_wont_give/foxrfbp/ CZ Actually shows up to respond. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ga027j/binance_accidentally_took_1206148_and_wont_give/foyfpeh/ The guy posts a couple of screenshots that really don't say much, tells me he posted proof. Binance support ends their conversation back and forth few hours later. We've already given you the verdict multiple times. You have not provided any more solid evidence that there was a mistake on Binance's side, nor that this error directly caused you to lose any money. Sorry, you can't pressure us into giving you money, be it through misleading social media threads or threatening self-harm as was done in the first ticket. We're happy to approach this legally. So what's this article about CZ? The article starts out with the picture of CZ in shorts and a suit jacket with a giant red circle around it. Remember he was respecting the shit out of the Bermuda culture while he was there, that's where the picture from. So I'm sure this article is good. Envy I dunno this is pretty loose, but they say this is a sin because OKCoin had fake trading volume, and CZ was their CTO. The article he references was published in 2013, and CS started working there in 2014. CZ left after only 9 months and cited "differences" rather than your normal bullshit nice guy thing. Lust They're really stretching here, but they link to an old post by CZ where he actually goes off on OK Coin. I didn't know this. I dunno what happened with OK coin and Roger Ver, but that is the crux. Some of the key points from this - CZ wasn't paid when he left, his signature was forged after he left, and he was urging them to stop their shady shit by not honoring a deal with Roger and Bitcoin.com . He then goes on to confirm how they are faking volume, how they are using bots they were playing with their reserve and might not have it They encouraged employees to trade had bad security. This guy's angle is "CZ knew about this and went along with it" somehow. Greed So now they say he is misleading by calling Binance "the leading cryptocurrency exchange" and then post a screenshot of Coin market cap showing that binance is number 23. I have no idea how he got this number, as they're not below 7 on any of the ways to slice the data. He finally makes his first good point - Binance has ridiculous withdrawal fees. Then he posts all of the shitty ICOs that Binance helped launch and how they tanked. Pride Alright finally he starts making some points that I can get behind. CZ said on twitter that when you raise funds for a project you need to set aside funds to battle fud. He's 100% right. Then Justin sun said he'd donate 100 BTC to fight fud, so CZ matched it? Binance is apparently a part of a PR firm's client list called Cryptoken. So this guy emailed them I guess to hit his gotcha moment. Lol. Spoiler - he didn't gotcha. Sloth This one he puts a bunch of dots together that show CZ and Justin sun know each other, and then posits that that means they're friends. Obviously the easiest way to know someone isn't justin's friend is to find multiple points of social contact. Gluttony Here apparently the bad thing that CZ did was put a tweet that would donate $1 for every retweet to fight covid 19. Well they only got 10k retweets so CZ donated $2M. Wow what a dick. Then he links a video with a thumbnail of CZ with Devil horns that is deleted to nosequitur attack their charity org. Wrath Thesis here - no one seems to know where they are located. Uhhh you're fuckin kidding Then he shouts out chico crypto in the comments. Oh god I realized it's on the steem fork. So what do we think of CZ boys?…

Episode 236 - How would the world perform during a pandemic under blockchain? 43:53

Welcome to the show! Today the gang goes over a very interesting scenario found on twitter - what would the world look like during this pandemic, but with blockchain? Would we be better or worse off? We've got a few thoughts on that. Tune in to find out! Notes: Some of the interesting points from the thread: Here's the post from Ownejj and some quotes I'm a huge advocate for crypto and have always defended it when discussing with other people. I am struggling to find an answer to the question on why a world using crypto would be better than the current cash system we are using today to handle the pandemic. For example Aus has just announced a 130b package to support workers who have lost their jobs. I'm assuming they are printing money daily to handle this crisis. Also America's plan to inject trillions into the economy. Can someone smarter than me explain how this situation would have been handled with crypto or why crypto would be the better choice. Thanks heaps for the replies! User Ketifus said DLT is the key to an open honest world and crypto is the natural vehicle for value exchange when this shit show goes pop. My guess is that this virus will take the blame this time but the QE coming off the printer now will store up the final collapse of fiat. In the mean time we can look forward to another 10 years of global austerity, 4-5 years of a phoney asset based recovery. Then inflation and rising interest rates causing the global debt load to make the world insolvent Hopefully crypto is ready, if it isnt we’re fucked. I’m setting my life up to deal with the latter User dontlikecomputers said Under the current system the government has 100% credibility to repay if it borrows in the currency it controls, under a crypto standard, everyone is on a level playing field because we all have the same fundamental ability to repay. User Karma_z says If the world was purely crypto based we’d be in a crippling economic depression right now and most of the world would not survive the coming six months. This isn’t even remotely hyperbole. User BitsAndBobs304 I think all speculations are void on both sides simply because humanity has never existed under such a system and it would have so many unforeseen consequences that the whole economy and production and world of jobs would be radically different in so many unpredictable ways. Brent example 1 Is Bitcoin the global currency? No, but it's still the largest network. Another more versatile coin could be the global currency What role does fiat play in this society, if any at all? Fiat is a thing of the past, and there was all kinds of weird things that happened with stablecoins What other things are we assuming for your example? Governments have accepted the crypto, there wasn't a revolution or anything. How would it be different? Governments will still be accepting taxes, they just won't have the ability to print new money. Taxes will be accepted in a couple of different currencies, but stored in national transparent reserves. There will be a privacy currency, but most business will be done on a public ledger that's traceable. The government could announce that any and all obligations are halted, and they'd have a full accounting of what those obligations are. They all get pushed back, and smart contracts could be updated to increase the back end obligations. Governments could instantly distribute funds to any confirmed citizens on chain to solve for necessities. If they didn't have the funds they could appeal to DAOs by issuing bonds to them. Liquid democracy could show the true public reaction to the opening of the government, rather than astroturfing and vocal minorities. Brent example 2 Is Bitcoin the global currency? It's the world's most used currency, but governments still cling to their fiat What role does fiat play in this society, if any at all? Citizen have a weird mix of cash and crypto What other things are we assuming for your example? How would it be different? In a world where there was a balance between Fiat and Crypto, and the government was printing money - I think it would actually move people away from crypto. People won't turn down free money, and in this situation it would be more of a competitive market. Could the communities of the cryptocurrencies step up and match a government bailout? Or do we just throw citizens to the wolves? How to talk about your world, and what would be different: Is Bitcoin the global currency? What role does fiat play in this society, if any at all? What other things are we assuming for your example?…
