The Supreme Court says states can decide how to regulate abortion, and that is now the law in the land of the USA. But many cry and bemoan how this is illegitimate, immoral, wrong, and elected officials encourage their citizens to help others violate the law.
The Supreme Court says no state can prevent a citizen from having a concealed gun, and New York immediately passes an obvious violation of the new law to restrict rights.
I’m not passing judgement on anything. What I’m saying is what is “illegal” doesn’t have a basis on morality - or else thousands of years of state-sanctioned slavery (literal human bondage) you would justify as “The Law” regardless of morals.
- bruce511 4y agoThis is exactly my point. I make no judgement as to whether the law is moral or not. Crypto facilitates illegal activity. You may consider that a feature or a bug - I make no judgement either way. I would suggest though that when the primary utility is for illegal activity, then it's likely to attract more regulation, and fewer honest users. And that may ultimately affect its attractiveness as a store of value.
