Much of the minerals and materials used in the technology is mined by children in Africa in conditions which can only be called literal slavery
You are contradicting yourself. Those people would get a fair price because of crypto then the case would be solved no?
there is no contradiction here. slavery in africa is not caused by banks per se - it's underlying cause is heartlessness. the same heartlessness that allows fiat currency to continue, but heartlessness none the less. no form of currency can fix heartlessness as it is a dysfunction of self/soul/spirit first and foremost. any action which involves exploitation of the results of heartlessness will only continue heartlessness and since heartlessness can be solved without any form of currency it therefore follows that using a currency that exacerbates heartlessness is not part of the solution to the problem.
