What about using a blockchain internally within the country to manage the high throughput and still avoid centralization by relying on a single "trusted" third party?

For e.g., mining operations can be distributed within the country itself to ensure decentralization within the country. Then this internal blockchain network interfaces with the slower and more expensive bitcoin blockchain to do final settlements?

Could this work?

Let's take drug money as an example - the solution here is to legalize and control substances, not criminalize them and then ban something totally unrelated (blockchain technology). This is patching a symptom rather than fixing the root cause which never works out.

And most importantly, withholding blockchain technology is not a solution to money laundering - it is happening already with legacy systems.

Fixing money laundering is not the priority here - we can look at fixing this later in our journey.

It's majority tech people that are into crypto at the moment, and tech people that have bought crypto. This is because it's still early days in the adoption timeline.

It's a not ponzi scheme, Elon Musk isn't 'in on it', and Bitcoin is too free to fail.

If you don't like it, GTFO?

I agree that ignoring and avoiding reality of this world is not good. However, sometimes I wonder how much I fucked up my mind by watching all the horrible stuff online during my teenage years.

This. So many people in the comments complaining that they don't like or agree with the entire list.

Find what you like and use it.

Just imagine trying to build a mobile startup company and having to write 2-3 copies of your app (Android, iOS, Desktop). No thanks!

Nobody needs native UI. It's time we get passed that!
