You claim to understand crypto, yet this is blatantly false.

With cash you are exposed only to your local crime, with crypto you are exposed to a global crime network, implementation bugs (both network & wallet/device)..




Criminals were not born criminals, they were homeschooled by criminal state


Is this trolling? Is this a joke? I don't understand.

Selfish behaviour (criminality, when taken to the extreme) seems to be an inherent characteristic of humans, you cannot claim that "criminal state" creates that.

And this has nothing to do with your initial claims, which I refuted.


It is not a trolling nor a joke, this is my point you can't understand. Let me try to explain.

Selfish behaviour is indeed a characteristic of all living beings, but I won't fully agree that it is always criminality when taken to extreme – in my opinion, there are multiple dimensions to that. This behaviour can be developed into a symbiotic one too, and the environment here is one of the drivers for evolution.

Our current environment leads to selfishness turning into parasitic behaviour almost every time, and our current environment is the state, whatever you got lucky to get. Based on that I claim that state creates criminal, by creating the environment he needs, and by judging him in this same environment, no matter how disharmonic it is in the current point in time.

Decentralised finance is a great example of the paradigm shift in the right direction. It is above the state and it lets people globally interact more harmonically, because you need rules universally interpretable by all parties in order to harmonise. I don't say it is a perfect tool, but it is far better than anything we could come up with for thousands of years, and it will eventually lead us into a bit more harmonic world. Tool is misused by the criminals, created by states around them over time, but I don't care as long as they play by the same rules as me.
