Crypto is, and always has been a way for money laundering to happen. Right now, its almost exclusively used bt speculators, corruption and Libertarian perverts.
I cant remember which Latin american country attempted to switch to it, but basically it just facilitated massive corruption. Same with the trump regime.
Its fucking stupid and only serves to enable corruption. Also, Jefferson Epstein was a crypto pervert
could say the same about cash, when looking at large scale usage
Yes, but, its nearly impossible to launder 250 million dollars of bills into your pocket like trump did
El Salvador made BTC legal tender in 2021, and backtracked in 2025.
THAT is the one,ya. It basically just allowed mass corruption.
I still wonder wtf that was about. '21-'25 an era when the world was governed by whatever tech bros on twitter were spouting off about on a given week.
It is also used to buy recreational drugs and life saving drugs (like HRT) on the internet in places where those things are difficult to get.
Yessss true but enough commerce happens in usd I think.
And I can use USD to pay for an assassin.
