Any idea can be exaggerated out of sanity bounds. If you do not see the difference between the incentives and criminalizing/punishment this is your own problem.

Criminalizing cryptocurrency was already exaggerated out of sanity bounds.

I think cryptocurrency should be banned. It's provided zero actual value, it's only uses are crime and as a speculative asset. Oh, and as a vehicle for poor Venezuelans to avoid inflation, can't forget about that fantasy.

You forgot about Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Lebanon, Asia?, etc

The people living there deserve to lose half their money every 2-5 years

This comment smells of first world privilege.

If anything screams first-world privilege, it's cryptocurrencies. Guess who owns 99.9999% of all crypto? The West.

Reminds of Haven episode S1 of Star Trek Next Gen. Any crime is punishable by death. So there won't be any more crime.

Don't even think of eating beans. Methane is illegal too.

You joke, but this is the exact thought process behind gun-free zones.
