> Cryptocurrencies were meant to put an end to such things

Yeah, well, Communism was meant to put an end to poverty and class injustice. Brexit was meant to restore glory to Britain. The Catholic Church was mean to put an end to vice. Things don't always do what they say on the tin.

As the Bible puts it: "For every tree is known by its own fruit".

Specifically, if the fruit seems consist of nothing but speculative bubbles and billion dollar frauds then that may be the true nature of the tree.
