## TODO
|

|
||||
#todo/writing #todo/clarify
|
||||
|
||||
* Aspirations and Claims: a short section explaining relationship of aspirations and claims
|
||||
* Web of claims: claims depend on other claims. We use hypothesis trees to break down claims
|
||||
* Claims vs questions: do we frame things as questions or statements e.g. Bitcoin is a currency vs Can Bitcoin function as a currency? Bitcoin harms the environment vs Does Bitcoin harm the environment?
|
||||
|
||||
## Subclaims
|
||||
|
||||
* How do we value a crypto token?
|
||||
* Are crypto assets a risk to the state?
|
||||
* What is the narrative of crypto assets?
|
||||
* Can Bitcoin function as a currency?
|
||||
* Are crypto tokens are securities (what type of assets are crypto token?)

# Externalities
|
||||
The problems with crypto assets fall into several categories.
|
||||
|
||||
## Environmental
|
||||
1. [Crypto investments that use PoW have an absurd environmental footprint.](../claims/environmental-footprint.md)
|
||||
2. Crypto investments waste energy that is better spent on more productive enterprises.
|
||||
|
||||
## Legal
|
||||
1. [Crypto investments violate securities laws](../claims/is-legal.md)
|
||||
2. Crypto assets are largely used to circumvent laws around [illicit financing](illicit-financing.md) and [money laundering](money-laundering.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Financial Risk
|
||||
1. [Crypto investments expose the public to undue risk](../claims/is-systemic-risk.md).
|
||||
2. It is an enormous opportunity cost the directs capital towards unproductive enterprises and scams rather than into growing other businesses.
|
||||
3. The structure of it as an invesstment is [negative-sum](zero-sum-game.md). Most investors are guaranteed tot lose money.
|
||||
4. It is most likely a [bubble](bubble.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Social Problems
|
||||
1. [It encourages gambling](../claims/is-gambling.md)
|
||||
2. Coins that use PoS are plutocratic, result in centralization and consolidation.
|
||||
3. It financializes things, especially abstract things, which should not be financailized.
