I'll stand by my statement. I'm not sure why I should give my etherium proceeds away to "charity". What's your rationale for that statement? Maybe I should be more clear, without ANY application or use for ANY crypto besides pump and dump schemes, ALL crypto, IMO, is a scam. Crypto has been a thing for 10 years, longer if you count egold and liberty cash (or whatever that was called). And to clarify again, my eth has been locked up in "staking" for what 2 years now without me being able to sell it. I'm looking forward to offloading it all and reap my gains, doesn't change how I feel about it.

  I've said in another comment I've participated in the scam, 5 years ago, I'll take my gains and walk. Back then I was under the impression that there would be some sort of killer app by now. There isn't and never will be. I've identified the scam, it's all pump and dump and an inflation sink.

    But by taking your gains, you mean selling your ETH to a sucker who doesn't know it's a scam... Doesn't that make you a scammer? At the very least, it makes you a participant in the scam. It seems the only ethical option would be to destroy your ETH.

      You sure do make alot of assumptions. I've addressed your concerns about my "ethics" in another thread however I'll address them here once again. There is no application nor will there ever be any application for crypto that cannot be done more efficiently elsewhere. It is no longer a currency so you can scratch that off the definition, there has been nothing but scams, going back to Mt Gox all the way upto this year of literally billions in theft. Why don't you address the ethics of the scams and thievery? The only truly ethical thing to do would be to destroy all crypto.
