    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Tries to Explain Cryptocurrencies - August 23rd 2020

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 05:40 PM PDT

    If you didn't know: Coingecko is an excellent alternative to Coinmarketcap. Their market data is great, their quarterly crypto reports are of high quality, and so is their newsletter, site & information in general, and to top it off - they aren't owned by an exchange.

    A true, ordinary story of bank thievery (subtitle: why we need to soon eliminate the middleman)

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 02:41 PM PDT

    This is a true story and I finally decided to share it with you. I hope that it will travel beyond this community. Eventually, it will convince more people about the necessity of getting a clear run at our corrupt and inefficient financial system through cryptography and decentralization.

    I am a manager in an Italian company and, on the 14th of July, I was informed by our accountant that an officer of a bank we're customer of lost 53 promissory notes, for a total of € 308.688,13=. Since the term in all those notes was expired, the sums had been already credited by the bank, as it should be when an IOU is due and there's capacity in the debtor's bank account.

    The money was gone in the creditors' accounts and, right after, the papers were lost. What can ever happen? Using some good sense, one might think that it's the officer's fault and, probably, they have insurance for covering these cases of human (and quite absurd) error. No way! They opted for another, easier strategy: **on the 8th of July, they literally took back the money from our account, after almost 3 months that the amount was duly accredited!**

    Thank God, our accountant detected the theft (how else should I call it?) and asked for clarification. What if she didn't notice? The bank's reply, however, was embarrassing: LOST IOU CHARGE (yes, literally 3 words in caps and with an attached police report of dismay).

    Sure, I'm aware that banks did way more than stealing 300K after stupidly losing a box full of promissory notes. It's the principle that - naïve me - once away shocks me, together with the behavior of the bank: an institution which, secure to stay unpunished, doesn't even bother to spend more than 3 words of reply (after they've been caught). For the chronicles, we are still trying to get the money back.

    Whatever cryptocurrency you are sustaining, we are all the bricks of a better future. It's time that technology and our awareness put an end to this inefficient and corrupt monetary-financial model. It's time to move on and let the people be the real owners of the value they produce and hold.
