Good for you. But it seems that cryto is a zero sum game. Every dollar one person makes, another person loses.
I have some exciting news to share with you about our traditional financial markets.
Bitcoin is trading at 28k. When the dollar is endlessly printed, all you need to do is not sell your bitcoin and eventually you'll come out ahead. Because the dollar supply is infinite, it is not zero-sum.
If bitcoin was the only crypto, maybe, but there is an infinite number of possible crypto coins.
Why is that relevant? Anyone can create crap. That doesn't change the tech.
Bitcoin is smarter than anything you've invented
An infinite number of Facebook clones, too.
There's an infinite number of fiat currencies. There's a dozen different precious metals. What's your point?
The point is only valid when you are going to make a case for "crypto" on Bitcoin's finite supply.
This is an interesting observation. Governments officially support inflation, i.e. stealing your hard earned money (as stealing money seem to be better for economy) and you cannot do anything with it.
Steem monsters was great for a time. I think it still exists on the hive network.
There is also ransomware.
That basically falls under money laundering
Enabling ransomware is 'useful'? To criminals perhaps.
But in America some of that illegal stuff became legal now.
