Replace the word "crypto" with "fiat" and the article actually makes sense. Of course, the banks and cash systems are scared of real competition.

The Olympics is supposed to bring nations together in the spirit of celebrating athletic achievement. That spirit still underlies it BUT is buried deep under IOC corruption and national sports programs cheating (doping, judging scandals, etc) and bribery by countries to host obscenely expensive and socio/enviro/economically questionable extravaganzas of one-upmanship.

The Olympics are dead. Their ratings drop every occurrence. The world cups compete with them for the real fans of individual events.

Any athlete calling for a boycott of another nations athlete is just virtue signaling while ignoring the rot that has existed for decades.
