So what? Trading can happen off-chain.
True, but you can't trade a BC off chain, since they don't exist off chaibn.
Joe Woodbury wrote: Hell, they can even do legitimate trades with blockchain and lie about the price.
They may lie all they want; the price they name is not leading.
Joe Woodbury wrote: are doing due-diligence in identifying the legitimacy of every trade. They aren't.
What due dilligence?
Here's a new one; you can't trade BC unless you have them. The trade does not have to be legal, ethical or anuthing else.

Yes, the only reaction a government can take to discourage the use of a money that they cannot control. Even the IMF called for "regulation", showing how it is more a political entity than anything else

Starting a new position tomorrow, this is somewhat current to me.
The question I was asked was: what is the personality trait people most dislike about you.
After some introspection, I answered: What I know, I know and it may be perceived as overconfidence or being cocky. If I don't know, I'll tell them I need to research and get back to them.
I called some people I used to work with and asked them what their impression was of my response. They agreed.. what I know, I know. And, after having been gone from my last site for over 6 years, I can still answer, in detail, how a particular system/application works.

Whilst I am an advocate of self reflection and being self critical, I'm not convinced that a job interview is the right place for it. Maybe during a one-to-one with your line manager (when you've already got the job), but not before you get the job.
If everyone else being interviewed was to be self reflective and self critical, then fine. It's a level playing field at least. But as the others most certainly won't, why risk losing the role just because you're more honest than the other candidates.
Let's be honest, how many people asking the question truly care about the answer. They've probably googled some standard inverview questions to pad out the interview. As the authord states themselves, it's a game, so I would strongly suggest that you play along too.

How would you know if others had been asked the same type of question, or not ?

Interviewers need to ask the same questions to each of the candidates. If you ask each candidate a different set of questions, how can you compare them? I've interviewed many candidates over the years, and always ask the same questions to each candidate so that I can assess them against each other. I may go off script now and again to dive into an area that crops up during the course of the discussion.
Remember, you may need to be able to justify your final decision to a rejected candidate, so you need transparency in your questions and how you marked each of the candidates.

You completely missed the point of my question, however, perhaps I missed the "deep state" of what you said

I might answer: "I often under-estimate the extent to which my colleagues have over-estimated my abilities, and are haunted by jealousy, and fear of being of being seen as incompetent."

In 1989, the Internet was still largely used by researchers, academicians, and the military. By 1993, it was well on its way to being the Internet you know. Two developments made this happen: CIX, net neutrality's ancestor, and the web. Here's how it happened. It can't be the real history! It completely ignores the Reptilian Illuminati!
