As long as we are talking about crypto, and I know this is shocking, turns out some people are using it for unsavory acts. It is okay if you want to sit down.

There’s cocaine on literally every US Dollar and that currency is backed by oil, relatively speaking crypto is cleaner

I am against the drug war and I think the cocaine thing was an urban legend. Also the US dollar is not backed up by oil.

The US Dollar is not only backed by oil, but also American banking imperialism.

Im against the war on drugs too. But speaking of drugs, weed is schedule 1, where Xanax is schedule 4 (low risk of abuse). It’s completely upside down and not accurate. That said, the harmfulness of the substance and being for or against the war on drugs is completely separate from the fact that there’s cocaine on literally every single dollar bill. Money is the dirtiest thing in general, and by those metrics, the US Dollar is dirtier

Some people? The vast majority of the crypto eco system is grifters and get-rich-quick rubes.

I don’t know what you want from me. I think it was pretty clear I was talking about crypto and badmouthing it. I won’t touch the child pornography generative AI issue with a ten foot pole and Covid mask.
