when did we start calling cash transactions seedy? you own a pub, somebody pays in cash is automatically seedy? let's maybe look into offshore banking and US offshore jurisdictions such as New Mexico, Delaware and Nevada first (tax havens in our midst) before bringing out the guns on the little people who have a bad line of credit or are unable to pay by card?
- tsimionescu 6y agoGP was obviously joking, trying to show that crypto-currencies are no different than cash, so anyone who calls crypto-currencies 'seedy' would also have to consider cash 'seedy'. However, crypto-currencies are in reality not like cash, because fat more than being an anonymous medium of exchange, they are in fact mostly an unregulated speculative investment, and unregulated speculative investments are, in fact, quite seedy.
- shawnz 6y agoBecause there are a lot of speculators, that makes it seedy? What does the amount of speculators have to do with the seediness of the underlying technology? I thought it was "seedy" because it can be used for fraud?
- patrickthebold 6y agoTo be fair, if someone hands off a briefcase full of cash, that's generally considered shady.
