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.

    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!
