Further evidence that some monster black holes have killed star formation in their galaxies has come to light in a study that peers back 12.5 billion years into the early universe. Stars form when cold clouds of molecular hydrogen gas collapse, fragment and condense.

Ok, maybe it doesn’t fix everything, although I could make a straight faced argument how Bitcoin could possibly fix those. In truth, an absolutely monstrous number of problems are created by broken money and it’s completely not obvious that it’s because of the broken money.
