Dear U.S. Congressional Leadership, Committee Chairs and Ranking Members,
We are 1500 computer scientists, software engineers, and technologists who
have spent decades working in these fields producing innovative and
effective products for a variety of applications in the fields of database
technology, open-source software, cryptography, and financial technology
applications.
Today, we write to you urging you to take a critical, skeptical approach
toward industry claims that crypto-assets (sometimes called
cryptocurrencies, crypto tokens, or web3) are an innovative technology
that is unreservedly good. We urge you to resist pressure from digital
asset industry financiers, lobbyists, and boosters to create a regulatory
safe haven for these risky, flawed, and unproven digital financial
instruments and to instead take an approach that protects the public
interest and ensures technology is deployed in genuine service to the
needs of ordinary citizens.
We strongly disagree with the narrative—peddled by those with a financial
stake in the crypto-asset industry—that these technologies represent a
positive financial innovation and are in any way suited to solving the
financial problems facing ordinary Americans.
Not all innovation is unqualifiedly good; not everything that we can build
should be built. The history of technology is full of dead ends, false
starts, and wrong turns. Append-only digital ledgers are not a new
innovation. They have been known and used since 1980 for rather limited
functions.
As software engineers and technologists with deep expertise in our fields,
we dispute the claims made in recent years about the novelty and potential
of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology cannot, and will not, have
transaction reversal or data privacy mechanisms because they are
antithetical to its base design. Financial technologies that serve the
public must always have mechanisms for fraud mitigation and allow a
human-in-the-loop to reverse transactions; blockchain permits neither.
By its very design, blockchain technology is poorly suited for just about
every purpose currently touted as a present or potential source of public
benefit. From its inception, this technology has been a solution in search
of a problem and has now latched onto concepts such as financial inclusion
and data transparency to justify its existence, despite far better
solutions to these issues already in use. Despite more than thirteen years
of development, it has severe limitations and design flaws that preclude
almost all applications that deal with public customer data and regulated
financial transactions and are not an improvement on existing
non-blockchain solutions.
Finally, blockchain technologies facilitate few, if any, real-economy
uses. On the other hand, the underlying crypto-assets have been the
vehicle for unsound and highly volatile speculative investment schemes
that are being actively promoted to retail investors who may be unable to
understand their nature and risk. Other significant externalities include
threats to national security through money laundering and ransomware
attacks, financial stability risks from high price volatility, speculation
and susceptibility to run risk, massive climate emissions from the
proof-of-work technology utilized by some of the most widely traded
crypto-assets, and investor risk from large scale scams and other criminal
financial activity.
We implore you to take a truly responsible approach to technological
innovation and ensure that individuals in the US and elsewhere are not
left vulnerable to predatory finance, fraud, and systemic economic risks
in the name of technological potential which does not exist.
The catastrophes and externalities related to blockchain technologies and
crypto-asset investments are neither isolated nor are they growing pains
of a nascent technology. They are the inevitable outcomes of a technology
that is not built for purpose and will remain forever unsuitable as a
foundation for large-scale economic activity.
Given these vast externalities, together with the—at best still-ambiguous
and at worst non-existent—uses of blockchain, we recommend that the
Committee look beyond the hype and bluster of the crypto industry and
understand not only its inherent flaws and extraordinary defects but also
the litany of technological fallacies it is built upon.
We need to act now to protect investors and the global financial
marketplace from the severe risks posed by crypto-assets and must not be
distracted by technical obfuscations which mask an abject lack of
technological utility. We thank you for your leadership on financial
technology and regulation and urge you to consider our objective and
independent expert judgments to guide your legislative priorities, which
we remain happy to discuss anytime.
