introducing speculative assets into the housing market has caused some problems before.

it's for corrupt purposes, of course:

The blockchain idea is being pushed, a HUD official told colleagues, by Irving Dennis. Dennis, the agency’s new principal deputy chief financial officer, is a former partner at the global consulting giant EY, also commonly known by its original name, Ernst & Young. EY itself is involved in the proposal as well: An executive of the firm discussed the idea with HUD officials last month.

Excuse me, you seem to be lost. This is buttcoin. The sidebar reminds you that our purpose is "hurling ordure at cryptocurrency/blockchain dweebs of all sorts." And yet you are somehow so lacking in comprehension that you think we have "double standards" because we're not falling over ourselves to act like your lame-ass pretense that crypto has unexplored potential is a novel idea we've never heard of before? LOL. ROFL. LMFAO.

you should check if you can get a refund on your schoolyears - they don't seem to have taught you to read very well

Look at me, I'm a libertarian! I think fiat currency is scary because I don't understand what social constructs are! No step on snek, unless the snek consents of course, which it should be able to do at any age!
