Transactions are executed by code, rather than a single gatekeeper like a bank or other financial middleman. . 2) Permissionless innovation. Crypto’s open source nature enables anybody to build on top of existing code. . 3) A decentralized governance model. Power rests in the hands of the owners of the crypto assets, rather than owned and managed by a single centralized institution. . 4) Better than free.

“I built the greatest economy in the World, the best the U.S. has ever had,” Donald Trump tweeted in June. “I am doing it again!”. Obviously, the first part of that tweet is a towering Trump lie.
