| That's a rather narrow view of crypto's uses. What about subverting democracy by bribing the President? |

| Has the lack of crypto ever stopped this from happening? Look up cases of gold bars being found in senators houses, those are actually MUCH less tracable. Shitcoins and Shitstocks(some SPACs) do allow of a legal way to "give" others money through the transfer of value in a way that is technically legal. This again is not crypto specific though. |

| ▲ | whynotmaybe 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | 1. Get rid of the few mBTC I had left after I realized how bad I'm at crypto trading 2. Fully live the concept of buying something physical from a virtual money I got by mining some now defunct coins. | | |
