by Vijay Selvam* Bitcoin has failed. Seventeen years since inception, Bitcoin remains a solution in search of a problem. With its eyewatering volatility, it has flopped as an inflation hedge. The much-touted scarcity of its 21-million-coin cap is rendered meaningless in a landscape teeming with thousands of other cryptocurrencies, each claiming to be scarce in its own […]
