As if the scammers and con-artists operating in crypto are ANY better than the banks. Banks are not perfect, but they are highly regulated, and come with a ton of consumer protections. There's none of that in crypto, and people are getting scammed or having their crypto stolen ALL the time.
- hd4 5y agoNo one claimed there weren't scammers in crypto, this is a phoney argument. The existence of scammers using fiat currency doesn't stop you from supporting fiat currency. This is about as legit an argument as the usual "pedos/terrorists/drug-dealers/mafia use the internet/encrypted messaging therefore internet/encrypted messaging BAD". Also, banks being regulated, don't make me laugh.
