bitcoin is the 21 century's diamond. Same useless string of cryptographically signed bytes, but for some reason the humanity agrees to assign some value just because of scarcity mindset.

- slt2021 2y agoBitcoin has its value due to anonymity and global footprint. I can ransom hospitals with cyber attacks and get paid millions sitting on North Korea/rusia/Iran and dont have to stand up from my desk. I can run distributed anonymized illicit drug distribution risk free and get paid a lot. I can hire hitmen to gather intel and harm my adversaries and arrange kinetic campaigns. A lot of good use cases.
