What disgusts me is the sheer effort and "knowledge" put into efforts (what a nice-looking app!) to misdirect and distract, for the purposes of skimming off money. Can't imagine what all those post-graduate degrees could do if they were dedicated to something useful.
Hi Chris, this is Paul Rowett, co-founder of Toco. There is a lot that I would like to say in response to your article. I thought a good idea, would be to host an online debate, where you and I talk through our differing opinions on these matters? We can then post the debate online for anyone interested...
Hi Paul - thanks for this. I've already written my views on Toco, crypto, and offsets, so rather than an online debate, I'd prefer if you wrote a response to my post. I'll post it as a separate article, and provide a link to it from this post. My email address is reddmonitor@substack.com.
Problem #1 - you CANNOT use “BBB” as a descriptor for any business activity without enduring the wrath of the Better Business Bureau.
A crypto currency backed by a carbon credit has zero backing, since carbon credits are MEANT to be retired while a crypto currency is supposed to have block-chain endurance. Like tacos, tocos would have to be consumed, destroying their value. Would you like to purchase a used taco?
Most carbon offsets projects are planned with a (useless) 100-year carbon-retention assumption.

Thanks Chris, will do.
Great! I should have also said that I'll post your response in full and unedited.

Everything.
