In our case, the Federal Reserve and Treasury, and then the crypto project.

If the goal of crypto is to eclipse the legitimate Federal Reserve and Treasury, it would grind businesses (national and international) to a halt.

For one thing, with the value of a unit changing several times a day, the currency is as unstable as gold, silver, and/or platinum. How can contracts be solid without a stable way to pay and to receive value for goods and services?
