Yes, I'll gladly deposit this check into the bank for homeless people. Right after I give half of it to my friend whose partner harasses them and controls their accounts
Which is a real thing, in this hypothetical.
The accounts they know about.
Even if you still scoff at these: that's two out of nine. The rest are pretending people can't give money to other people... for some reason. Three of them are just rephrasing "no garage sales." Yeah, you can't sell your couch for a bit of cash if there's no cash, but you can still sell your couch, for money.
Bad arguments for good conclusions are still bad arguments.
It's much easier to hide digital currency than physical money in an abusive situation like described, one can involve nothing but memorized passwords the other requires concealing a physical object.
These people aren't being at all serious, they're using a serious situation as a weapon to support an otherwise totally absurd panic about a useful tech development in an ever changing world.
