It's grifters that shifted from crypto into AI.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.

I want society to control it in some sort of fair and balanced way.

You know, crypto is set up to like supposedly to be in opposition to the banking system.
One question I have is why do we have banks?
You know, banks are –
franchised by the government and allowed to issue loans.
Most of the money that's created in this country is in the form of loans.
The government backstops that.
And the banks profit, and credit is extended, so it sort of works.
But we also end up bailing these guys out a lot.
And I just wonder if we should cut out the middleman.
I mean, everybody hates banks anyway.
