Anti-Crypto Learnings: Do The Critics Have Some Valid Points?

I've been on a research quest to find the best arguments for why cryptocurrencies will go to zero, here's what I found out.

In Episode #301 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: our thoughts on the upcoming crypto winter, why serious people will still be working on projects (like 'unsigned_algorithms'), chatting about complete capitulations days before the Terra LUNA fiasco, useless mediums for conversation plus Andrew Tate, crappy arguments saying no-one uses it/ is only for criminals and why hypothetical 50 year jail sentences might not stop adoption.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
