    State of the art programming, all with the goal of scamming people.

    Crypto programmers don’t “have” to do anything because they are working on an illegitimate, unregulated security.

      Have you heard of Indian call centers? Let’s ban phones, let’s ban email, let’s ban gift cards, let’s ban bank accounts.

      The fact that the technology is also being used to scam people doesn’t mean that the whole thing is bad. There are numerous use cases beyond illegal activity, and you focusing on a tiny fraction of the whole thing just shows that you don’t actually want to understand, but that hate is your only way of expressing, that you don’t understand it.

      Here, read up. They’ve got studies and sources for their claims.

        Scam call centers are illegal and get shut down often. Great example if you want to somehow convince people that crypto isn’t a scam.

          I think they meant call centers in general, for legal sales. No they didn’t I’m wrong

          So you’re saying that scamming through crypto isn’t illegal and that the people behind it don’t get caught?

          You’re comparing apples and oranges, it doesn’t work like that.

          Crypto is the “phone” or “email” from my example, it’s just a medium.

          So yeah, good job showing you don’t understand how it works

            What’s your endgame here, you need us to buy shitcoins you lost money on or something?

              Nice, well done, let’s attack me personally instead of having a conversation. That will get you far in life.

                  I feel attacked because you attacked my integrity instead of trying to have a useful conversation.

                  That’s fine though, people are scared of things they don’t understand, that’s a well known fact.

                  Have fun falling behind

        Last time I checked all of those had real world value before the scams started.

        For cryptos, it seems to be the other way around. They are trying to solve issues at the cost of having issues that are unacceptable and unfixable.

          It may seem like it, but it sure isn’t like it. You’ll obviously hear about the bad and nothing about 5he good, unfortunately that’s how media works nowadays.

          Do you want to elaborate on those issues that are unacceptable and unfixable? I’m not saying there aren’t any, but you’re describing a trade-off, and crypto isn’t the only thing in the world with trade-offs.

          Fiat is a great example - conveniet, nice, until it starts hyperinflating, until people use it to fund wars, until the government confiscates it because you insulted a politician on Twitter.

            From scams to just cyber attacks with no safe guards would make everything impossible to handle. There is no bank covering you or insurance. People dying, losing keys etc drive deflation. BTC/Mining coins are destined to die. Maybe there is something there, but it certainly isn’t finance.

            Inflation is necessary for multiple reasons, but you can read on that yourself. Such as; what would happen if everyone considered holding to money an investment? IMO these facts make Fiat sound so much better…
