Police and banks don't care about drug users. Crypto only makes things easier for dealers. I bet more crypto gets used for trading CSAM than for drugs.
It's true that crypto is commonly used in online drug transactions, but there are other justifiable uses, such as moving money out of countries with repressive regimes like China and Russia.
Also paying for certain genres of porn that major credit card banks like Visa and MasterCard have somewhat arbitrarily designated as unacceptable, such as certain types of BDSM e.g. consensual nonconsensual, anything that shows blood, kinky hypnosis and mind control, vampires, etc.
Of course obvious child porn and bestiality should be banned period, so some regulation is needed. But I'm not sure that the government delegating responsibility for regulation to the credit card banks is the best way to do it. The rules and enforcement are completely arbitrary and cannot be appealed.
No it isn't. Every single person has a complete record of every transaction. It's the opposite of secure. It's only useful insofar as intelligence agencies want tall grass to hide in for their own illegal transactions. Same as .onion btw
My parents still believe in crypto and got sulky when I told them that only scammers peddle crypto as the big thing. My Stepmom wastes like her monthly earrings on failed crypto schemes and my dad has to bail her out and basically pay every medical procedure/bills/gifts/groceries lol and give her an allowance, which she further throws out of the window with silly investments.
Dude! that sucks. Have you tried telling her that gold and realestate are the only sure bet? Start telling her lies about a guy you talked to on the internet who invested in actual physical gold and used the profits to buy his house outright.
In 2021 I would have said Crypto. Now everyone but the most dense people see it for the scam it is.
Crypto as an investment, and NFT for digital art, sure it's a scam.
Crypto as an extralegal means of moving money is totally useful.
How is another way for billionaires to avoid paying taxes not a scam?
Zabadoh is talking about drugs I'm pretty sure

Don't confuse crypto for Bitcoin
Monero is the only torelable crypto currency for communists before revolution. After it is a liability.
