Crypto industry in a positive light

The industry is usually maligned by authorities in some countries like the US. The country’s SEC Chairman recently said that it is dominated by fraudsters, hucksters and ponzi schemes. There is also the concern that Bitcoin uses too high an energy while some regulators believe that the industry has adverse impact on national economies.

The R33 report seeks to present the crypto industry in a good light by highlighting its positive contribution in job creation. The report said that this is the first time this has been done.
