Obviously, I am not a crypto expert and never saw a need to be one. But, the more I read about it the more I think that people should run away from the concept and that governments should regulate cryptocurrency.
I agree. It is a monumental waste of natural and human resources that has made just as many people poorer than more wealthy. Caveat emptor.
