"... demand, rightly, that the government put a stop to it."
Why "rightly?" This isn't the right way to fight crime.
You start with "if crime is easier..." That is the problem, not the payment.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 5y ago"Rightly" because one of the jobs of government is to enforce its laws. And yes, it is true that if crime is easy to do, there will be more of it. The payment part is key because getting paid is the key motivation for many crimes - those scammers from "visa bank" aren't calling you because its fun for them. An example is ransomware attacks - without an unregulated anonymous digital payment system the getting paid part of this crime would be much more difficult. Are they going to try and pick up a bag of cash?
