lots of conjecture here. I think I would be a bigger fan of each individual nation trying to solve this problem and then us identifying which solutions are working best rather than preemptively creating a universal crypto currency that siphons off 10%… Yada yada yada something about eye scanning....yada, yada.

But, having visited a chipotle recently I am a proponent of a robot making my burrito. The woman who made it tore my tortilla and then mended it with a piece of another tortilla, thereby making my burrito far too thick with tortilla.

So to summarize, yay to robots making burritos and nay to a global preemptive solution involving far-fetched eye scanning men to document the non working and to give them some new form of crypto currency that is widely recognized across the globe...

It's hard enough to describe how Bitcoin works to my cousin, you think when he loses his burrito making job, he's going to want some digital currency he's never heard of?
