      Fiat currencies can be abused too.

      And I know, I know, crypto is used for scams, but does that make it any less valuable for you? I assume you don’t scam people.

      Edit: also wdym by “abused”?

        I meant scams, rent seeking behavior by minors and payment processors, using bitcoin as an investment rather than for its utility as a currency.

        Then there is the environmental issue from back when all the mining was done and what it did to GPU prices.

          Minors got too much power, which is why they aren’t releasing the Epstein files.

          Oh, miners is what you meant.
