Next SV pitch: "it's like Uber for organised crime".
semi-seriously though - I can imagine in a work of science fiction a "sharing economy" of people willing to trade time for work doing criminal activities evolves. There must have been such a novel written already. Thinking a bit more morally, how about an "Uber for police" where citizens can be contracted at short notice to trade time for work against criminals.
- bertil 9y agoThere is a lot of joke on how Cryptocurrency was for that (drugs & guns being the butt of the joke). It seems the current uptick is more related to getting money out of controlled change system (China and Zimbabwe). I can see how the ethics of accessing saving instruments or storing capital in a non-collapsing currency is different than organised crime but it is still technically illegal.
