Also used for scams. Imo if the #1 use case for a tech is scamming people that’s a good reason to ban the tech
Edit for bad faith analogies: FCC and aviation style regulations would be best suited for the vast amounts of industrial processes and corporate involvement required to run bitcoin.
Bitcoin is also not a physical product you can smoke medicinally. Its stupid to compare a drug to bitcoin. You run a corporation you shouldn’t be able legally buy, sell, or process crypto assets. Not everything is drugs. This is an orphan crushing machine situation. Nobody needs an orphan crushing machine and it should be illegal to own one.
Edit for poor reading comprehension folks: lots of things have #2 or #3 uses that are scams. Emails, phones, radio etc. Those things are fine. They have productive or artistic uses.
There’s actually one more thing that far and away is used for scams more than crypto. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. It’s totally legal to own too. Crazy world.
Don’t be too upset, these are the people who are going to make you and I very financially secure. They’ll laugh now, and cry foul later, but it won’t change anything.
The downvote button and cognitive dissonance is way, way easier than taking a few minutes of focus and time to learn the very basics about something.
At the very least we could ban commercial usage which would be relatively easy to do while eliminating or at least reducing a lot of the harm. I know it’s rich coming from me of all people but you can do things on a scale.

Oh ban cryptocurrencies, just like we banned drugs?
Yeah, because that worked out great didn’t it?
Jesus if I could just have a button to eliminate everyone with ideas like that, you wouldn’t get my hand off it.

Just a little over a century ago we could get laudanum or whatever over the counter, whenever we wanted. And things were so much better.
Not ONE drug cartel, thank God we went to war, right?
The drug war actually made meth and fentanyl use inevitable, to replace heroin, cocaine, etc. If only we had stuck to the classics.
oh well. Time for my wellbutrin and duozepine and quetiapine and prazosin.
Those are the drugs I have to take daily to stop screaming, because screaming is bad now or some shit
