Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman on Monday took aim at major players in the cryptocurrency industry who are angling to get President-elect Donald Trump to help them fatten up their bank accounts.
Writing on his Substack page, Krugman hammered crypto advocates' demands that the government guarantee their rights to open accounts with any bank operating in the United States.
"Now we have crypto boosters demanding that the evil government force the evil banks to let them have conventional checking accounts," he argued.
