The latent argument is that crypto leads to inequality, and the low performance of crypto leads to more equality.
Equality in itself is good for the public.
However, i don't think this is a reasonable perspective. Naturally, it should also extend to stocks and real estate.
The difference being that stocks and real estate have at least a tenuous connection to actual production. Crypto has none.
Uh, no..? The argument is just what the OP says it is: 'investing' in crypto does nothing productive for the real economy and thus is useless to society.
Uh, you didn't read the article?
