Helping criminals launder money is not a human right.

If the countries wanted to accept the fruits and nuts, they wouldn’t need bitcoin for payments. They would do the usual trade processes. They have outlawed imports from Iran and bitcoin doesn’t change the fact that circumventing agricultura

It also gives obvious nonsense an air of validity. VCs giving several millions to something like StepN is a drop in the bucket for the VC portfolio. But this money makes it seem to an average person that maybe the VCs see something the don’
