been reading about it and cringing hard this morning

btw, i told pp and others this would happen 2-3 years ago - the only possibility of blockchain and cryptos becoming fully legit is their adoption of the government in one form or another, which is completely contrary to their initial purpose. it wasn't evident to me because i was a genius, but because it was extremely easy to predict it.

there are 9-5 guys (and neets) out there really believing the entire society is gonna re-class itself, with wealth and power being redistributed in their favor just because they found a good post on some obscure internet forum early enough, motivating them to buy crypto when it was affordable, all that at while the elites (people and companies who own trillions in assets, including banks, investment funds, arms-producing factories, and control the puppets that are elected politicians) are watching and clapping, saying "nice job, guys, you really got us this time". holy iq.

Lol @ the gymnastics people do to basically say "its good because you can buy drugs and cp with it" because otherwise there's 0 reason not to just use your credit card

i get it when it's some retarded secluded clown shilling for it, but seeing pp, an obviously smart guy, doing the same is legit sad

also, to generalize the topic ... i don't understand why are people whose most significant transaction in the first 35 or so years of their lives is buying a TV or a laptop so concerned with their privacy and so insistent that they don't want the banks/the government/institutions in general know what they are doing with their money. such a weird psychological phenomenon. nobody fucking cares about your purchase of an i-phone or weekly groceries shopping, lmfao. and i say this as an overly cautious person.

one time a guy gave me 10k in crypto (worth 100k now, lmao) to do that exact thing so he could get 100k out of an exchange. legit paid me 10k to use my id instead of his... fucking odd

i'm arguing it is currently possible for criminals to use certain decentralised services to evade AML regulations. im not saying that this is a good or desirable thing. it came about because I feel an intense desire to correct you when you start confidently running your mouth on topics you have zero knowledge on and no intention of understanding beyond what can be used to disingenuously frame someone as wrong in a debate
