I discuss banking, means of exchange, third world poverty, greed and avarice. Change and technology. Old ideas and new.  

"Yes it is. As it stands. Cryto is a means of exchange - not a  speculation vehicle or an investment. As an ex-banker I saw great potential. The number of clients I had sending money overseas, and the costs they paid were near criminal. Then as a banker - I also know what I  would have done to disrupt a technology that might replace my own industry? At minimum it would risk profits. I would create instability  in  the market. Thus negating the tool of exchange - and minimizing the  risk to my own hegemony. All while profiting on both sides. The help  intended: still charging as much as 30% to send funds to a third world country. Trillions being stolen from hard working honest people."
