His point is it is being sold as a way to circumnavigate governmental regulations and restrictions, and this proves that isn't true.

Transfer it around all you want, it's traceable and no different for the feds than when you transfer money to 843 different bank accounts owned by random people to try and hide it.
Privacy in what sense? All transactions are recording on the blockchain ledger and cannot be reversed or changed and remain there forever. It's part of it's safety features. As for a decentralized wallet, I can open one up in 30 seconds and transfer crypto assets to it and trade all day long. And there is literally nothing tying it to "me" other than I know it's seed phrase.

You're right man. You win. I'm wrong. Going to sell off all my coins now. Thanks for educating me on the industry.

Crypto is so worthless and coincels are "retards". No utility. Gonna just stick to my savings account generating .000001% interest.

It's hard trying to have a legitimate discussion/argument with real talking points when one side knows little to nothing about how the subject matter works. If you understand how it works and have real concerns and don't like it, then awesome, that's a solid discussion and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But some of the arguments in this thread are not only ignorant but 100% incorrect. The misc is being extra fuking autistic today... Jesus.

exactly. People are stuck in their ways and don't want to embrace the future.

People behaved the same way in the 90's when the internet was becoming popular.

You need to educate yourself and then come back with questions. You're clearly ignorant on the topic. There's no shame in that but you have no idea what you're talking about and it's evident through your questions and projections.

Ok boomer. There are plenty of crypto merchant services emerging, there just isn't wide adoption yet. Your statement is like saying that people will never buy products from online stores instead of using a catalog...

Do you even know how chitcoin works?
Nope apparently not. Thank you for schooling me though.

Which is why criminals like crypto. And also why I believe it does need to be regulated to some degree (i.e. to help against scams, rugs, chit tier contracts, etc. that make newbies and vets alike lose money). I love the idea of crypto, but some spaces (like the BSC space) are basically the wild west. When it's completely unregulated, true human nature comes out. And humans as a whole are a disgusting unethical virus.

I used to hate crypto and thought it was retarded. Then I figured I'd give it a try because hey, I still think it's retarded but if I can make money off it then who am I to judge. Then I dove heavy into research and understanding how the blockchain and different contracts work, and how these technologies can be applied to real world situations and problems, and I got more intrigued and understanding.

Is this how it went- Canadian patriots tried to pull their money out of banks, because the tyrannical govt-corp alliance was freezing funds of truckers/supporters, so the banks had blackouts? And then they seized/froze crypto too? Is that correct?
