Debunking Fake Narratives on Manusmriti on Women; Here Are Facts.
Swami Dayanand, the great Vedic scholar of the 19th Century, writes:
“I believe in that part of Manusmriti which is not interpolated (appended later) and is in accord with the Vedas.”
3/56: Where women are honoured, there the gods are pleased; but where they are not, no sacred rite yields the desired result.
3/60:Where d husband is pleased with his wife nd d wife with her husband,happiness will assuredly b lasting in such families
3/59: Hence,men who seek(their own)welfare,should always honour women on holidays nd festivals with(gifts of)ornaments,clothes and food(as desired by them).
9/13:These six causes spell ruin for women:drinking associating with wicked ppl,separating from their husbands,rambling abroad,sleeping nd dwelling wid other men.
3/58: Houses perish completely, as if destroyed by magic, on which female relatives pronounce a curse, upon not being duly honoured.
9/130:A daughter,who is even (as)oneself(a daughter)is equal to a son;how can another take d family estate,while(appointed daughter who even as oneself)lives?

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
