    Shrimp > blockchain. Can’t disagree with him there.

    For that matter, shit is better than blockchain. Because at least shit is good for manure.

        crypto currency is actually very useful when you need to buy meds that states dont want you to have. i dont know if blockchain is the best way to implement decentralized currencies (proof of work blockchain definitely isnt) but its what we got rn

          To put it another way: Crypto is great for crime. Like I get that criminalizing stuff like HRT is bullshit, but…

            but what? be gay, do crime. legality has nothing to do with ethicality. dont support oppression and hegemonie!

          • It’s really not. Most crypto is easily traceable, in fact, the whole point of blockchain is to be publicly traceable.

            You know what’s better for crime? Cash.

            If you use crypto, you have to launder it to obfuscate the transaction. If you use cash, you don’t.

          That’s wrong, any illegally obtained controlled substance should be bought with cash or with a temporary anonymous card available online.

          The blockchain is a multiple ledger transaction record, you’re just leaving multiple trails directly to you when you buy things with it.
