- matheusmoreira 3y agoYeah, and cryptography was made for pedophiles and terrorists. Am I right?
- EA-3167 3y agoThis Motte & Bailey argument using cryptocurrency and cryptography is so old, so stale, and it was never very convincing to start with. A whole field of mathematics doesn't compare to digital pet rocks.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoIt absolutely does compare. Especially when people start talking about how cryptocurrency was "made for crime". They sound a lot like those tiresome politicians complaining about pedophiles and terrorists "going dark" for the nth time.
- latchkey 3y agoYour argument about Madoff is old and stale and definitely not convincing. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36227328 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36227328
