Just like Tor. And BitTorrent. And non-backdoored cryptography. All super useful if you're doing something illegal, right? Governments really should be cracking down on all this stuff, it enables way too much criminal activity.
If you disagree with the paragraph above as I do but don't feel the same way about cryptocurrency, consider why. Tor, BitTorrent, etc undeniably do enable criminals, and cryptocurrencies undeniably do have legitimate uses. My personal position is consistent: I'm on the side of freedom, even if it does sometimes come at the expense of a little safety.
- cortesoft 4y agoThe comment you replied to never said it should be made illegal.
- volkk 4y agoit takes only a second of thought to realize the pessimistic intent behind that sentence
- senttoschool 4y agoOh for sure. I don't hide the fact that I'm pessimistic on cryptocurrencies. You can check my post history too. Note that I said cryptocurrencies.

- superchroma 4y agoThe thing is that torrents haven't clearly been linked to losses, whilst crypto has been responsible for crime, huge market distortions and waste.
