Cool, but that’s not what you asked, and you’re moving the goalposts. I suggest you slow down and think about the pros/cons/tradeoffs instead of automatically going down the decision tree of this argument.
- colesantiago 3y agoWhat you've suggested is not a positive use case at all but sure it's perfect for criminals. Great job.
- glerk 3y agoAny authoritarian state will label dissidents as "criminals". If you want to flee Russia or Venezuela today without forfeiting all your property, crypto can come in handy. This is very much a positive use case if you value individual freedom. Remember that any wall and border has 2 sides.
- colesantiago 3y agoHmmm. Interesting. I can only name 1 person who is in this position you describe yet they are not fleeing Russia any time soon. So according to your logic the North Korean hackers who borrowed $2BN in crypto are not criminals in North Korea's eyes despite the US government calling them criminals? You might want to come with real world examples with a larger impact instead of tiny selective scenarios where almost nobody other than that 1 person would get themselves into.
