Stephen Miller is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump, which include the zero-tolerance policy, also known as family separation, the Muslim ban and ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Right so bitcoin is being fixed in terms of dollars which is still the unit of account. Then transaction times of the system are so slow that they could never service the actual demand of the existing currency system for the dollar much less the world that dog doesn’t hunt.

Now you have a "currency" with a known value that offers merchants the benefit of knowing the payment is good on the spot, without having to wait or deal with network outages or system failures or payment processors being dicks.

The history of all currencies is that the governing body guarantees a legal standard, a legal tender. Trust is maintained by the reasonable stability of its value.

There isn’t much about bitcoin to speak for it.

Then the sales bros got their hands on it and turned it into an unregulated currency you had to buy with real money.

Actually, Dark Forests are a different thing - they are closed online communities. Beyond "invitation only," mostly only pre-vetted people who were originally part of some real life project or community.
