    So because crypto has been used for scams, no one should use it or support someone who accepts it?

    Wait till you hear about fiat.

    Crypto is only rife with scum because of its privacy. And I don’t disapprove of private alternatives just because bad people use them.

    That’s government speak. 1:1

      No because it’s used almost exclusively in scams. Also because of the insane environmental impact.

      Wait till you hear about fiat.

      I’ll say the same thing about platforms like Zelle or wire transfers. If someone asks you for them, it’s almost certainly a scam.

      Crypto is only rife with scum because of its privacy.
