The big two, India and China account for 3B people would never need Crypto at all. Their own mobile payment systems are thriving.

India's system which was launched in 2016 clocks in 4B+ transcations per month, grows 100% YOY.

A lot of developing countries have their mobile systems which are far better than Crypto.

What if a smart person thought of a crypto currency and then foresaw its devastating impact on the planet, what do you think that person would do?

I belive smart people want to work on ideas that are net positive and as you know many ideas (even successfull ones) are net negative.

* Airbnb - locals are outbidded by tourists

* uber/lyft - better solution is public transportation

* Amazon - big marketplace but no idea whats fake and have to pray to god that no one dies while trying to deliver our orer

* Roundup - kills grass and also friendly insects on top of that gives you cancer

* Teflon - no need to burn calarioes on washing dishes but pollutes ground water with forever chemicals

* meat industry - you get tasty meal but animals and earth suffer

* Zillion sataliets in orbit - remote locations (no one lives or not need) gets access to internet but astronomy suffers

the list goes on
