"I think we can actually have a better regulated economy if we had all the data in real time, knowing what people are spending", he says.

Who is regulating? In whose interest?

Whose business is it to know "in real time" how much an individual is spending, for what, and why?

I almost never agreed with Stieglitz's views, and once again he seems to tell the establishment what they want to hear (very much like Keynes did some decades earlier). Even though I think that 99% of crypto is pure trash and will go bust, shutting everything down (how would this be done, btw?) is completely outrageous.
