Your whataboutism is becoming tedious. A thing can be bad even if it's alternative is not entirely great. I can hate apples, and hate oranges all the same.
Blah Blah whataboutism if you can keep spamming bullshit about some nut buying expensive jpgs voluntarily I can spam all the negative things about tradfi until now you’ve still given no response on how a person with their currency being devalued by a central bank and their property expropriated could possibly get any legal recourse or what real alternative you could give them instead of crypto or any criticism of the projects that I told you that I support
I never said you can't. I only said it's getting tedious. But hey, whatever floats your boat! 🤷♀️
whataboutism? what you talking about?
Explanation link was provided in my comment. Saying "but banks are also bad" doesn't change the fact that cryptocurrency/NFT/web3 scene is rife with scams.
Ah, I see. Idk why they saying that, why defend crypto/NFTs? They are extremely predatory, and I can tell that from just looking in from the outside. have a nice day
Saying "apples are horrible" does not defend oranges. Two things can be bad at the same time. This is not a competition.
very true! The dude also has quite the shit comment history, what a load of garbage.
There is some entertainment value to this, though. Does brighten the day, in a weird way. 😄
Go fuck yourself you dumb communist removed
How... eloquent
Go to China and live in the countryside to experience your egalitarian and efficient utopia
okay? that really isn't the threat you think it is.
Post an alternative if you can trash something it must mean you know of something better
I already linked you to a book that points towards some alternatives, but you refused to consider it. 🤷♀️
Oh, and by the way, for the Suisse Secrets you might want the actual investigation site, linked from the press release you linked to: https://www.occrp.org/en/suisse-secrets/
I used to work for OCCRP, so thanks for bringing back good memories! 😍
You might want to read up on some more of their investigations, this tag is particularly interesting perhaps: https://www.occrp.org/en/component/tags/tag/cryptocurrencies
NATIONAL CURRENCY IS BAD BECAUSE CRIMINALS ARE USING IT
Wait I thought you were saying banks are bad because criminals are using them?
Can't have it both ways, my friend. Either misuse of the traditional financial system is a good argument against it (and thus misuse of cryptocurrencies is an argument against them), or not. 🤔
Didn’t I already tell you that all banks aren’t bad and that it would be stupid of me to smear all of them like that which is why I’m constantly pointing out the stupidity of your logic using silly statements like above, when have I ever said that I have a problem with people choosing to use banks since I believe in individual responsibility and the both of them have disadvantages that are clearly communicated to users and it’s up to you to make the decision
Cool, cool.
But I am merely clearly communicating the disadvantages of cryptocurrencies/NFTs/web3 and other blockchain-based boondoggles. And that seems to frustrate you to a point of calling people names and using all-caps, for some reason. 🤔
Bro 💀 just log off and read a book or something god damn
