Ilya,

1. Of course gold is bad. That should never be in question.

2. Blockchain is not scalable. You may not have ever worked in a high-frequency/low latency environment so TPS (transaction per second) may be unfamiliar to you.

A typical transaction for PoW crypto means creation/validation of a new block takes on average 10 minutes.

This is the opposite definition of scalable.

3. The only people positioned to take any advantage of Crypto in the 3rd world are the elites and oligarchs. I'm guessing that's not who you mean... but I could be wrong.

4. Political neutrality means you're neutral on human rights, free and fair elections, and pro-corruption.
