			:<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Case for cryptocurrency is weaker than for blockchain'''''</span>

			:"The use case for cryptocurrencies – from providing an alternative to expensive and entrenched traditional finance to enabling anonymity and an escape from government-held monopolies – seems feebler after the many scandals and frauds that have plagued the sector.

			:The idea that cryptocurrencies are an inflation hedge, which is supposed to work thanks to crypto’s limited supply, took an especially hard beating.

			:It turns out that not only do cryptos not hedge against inflation, but they act as a typical risk asset, so are extremely cyclical – the demise of the sector has been very similar to the wider tech sector pullback.


			:... the economics use case for cryptocurrencies is not to be confused with the use of blockchain technology.

			:Solving an important economic problem – that of trust between contractual counterparties – blockchain is probably here to stay, especially after improvements in its appalling energy inefficiencies.

			:It’s true that commercial blockchain technology applications have also experienced several significant drawbacks lately.

			:But this seems more a part of a wider tech downcycle, which blockchain is likely to survive – especially as computing power gets cheaper still."

			:''Tamara Basic Vasiljev, Senior Economist, Oxford Economics - The Treasurer, March 2023, p20.''
