I’m sure they mean “wary” but yes, investors should be extremely weary of crypto by now.

I don’t get why for years people have been saying bitcoin is less traceable than cash. Less traceable than a credit card? Yeah totally I get that, but than cash? I’m no tech wiz but that doesn’t make any sense to me. Am I the idiot here or is it really as super secret as bitcoiners claim?

It’s less traceable in a specific way than cash but otherwise it’s just a big neon sign.

Like people who say credit cards are less traceable than cash because a third party watching you give your credit card to someone has a harder time seeing how much money you’re giving them than if you gave them a bunch of cash.

Americans spell things correctly but British people usually have better linguistic style.

License > licence. Armor > armour.

With exception, of course. Adding (or preserving) an -e before suffixes as in acknowledgment (American) versus acknowledgement (English) reads better in my opinion.

British people are loving dumb and gross for adding an -l when writing words like cancellation (English) versus the superior cancelation. Cancel + ation. Where’s that -l come from you limey idiots?

Conversely y’all TAKE away the -l in words that should have a double -ll. Enroll (American) versus Enrol (English).

I do like the fancy -ogue as in dialogue (English) versus dialog (American) though.

In short we’re both loving stupid.

You seem to know a lot about that stuff. Hm... Wasn't there a guy who wrote a thing and it was half-American and half-British, and then people thought he was Japanese, but an Australian guy said it was him? An interesting coincidence.

As long as options exist as ready-to-tax-evade packages, you're not going to find a lot of political advocates for restricting securities as payment methods.

It's to force them into the system, hoping a few will become bitcoin users now that they've been forced into it. The only way to keep crypto going is to keep adding more users into it.
