- haswell 5y agoAre you claiming that crypto is only used for illicit activities? Care to back that up?
- colesantiago 5y agoNot just that, there is speculation, gambling, etc. with those two being the most used usecase, nothing else. Once banned that is where they will reside, I hear that Monero is thriving in that (illicit) environment, as well as Bitcoin, Ethereum (paired with Tornado) But for now banning is likely.
- mthoms 5y ago>nothing else. Come on. There are people in this very thread who are using it to evade draconian currency controls their governments have imposed. Are they lying? Whether the positives outweigh the negatives in Crypto is subject to debate. But to refuse to acknowledge that ANY positives exist is outright bizarre. There are lots of things I strongly dislike (eg: religion, guns) but to insist that there are absolutely zero positive aspects to these things in certain contexts would be intellectually dishonest.
