Too Long; Didn't Read
Last week a statement by Augustin Carstens, head of the Bank for International Settlements, caught the attention of <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/cryptocurrency" target="_blank">cryptocurrency</a> enthusiasts on Twitter. <em>“BIS Chief to Crypto Coders: ‘Stop Trying to Create Money’”</em> was the headline of the <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/bis-chief-says-stop-trying-to-create-money-in-new-crypto-critique/" target="_blank">article published by Coindesk</a>. It was met mostly by laughter and sarcastic remarks in the crypto community but the interview with Carstens actually contains both errors and a display of contempt that deserves some real criticism.
