Attacking other people is not only weak BS, it violates HN guidelines. Have a good day!

I'm not sure how refuting a weak augment is a personal attack but I strongly encourage you to contact dang if you feel like I was disrespectful and he'll give me the talking to I deserve and possibly ban me. He's a really friendly moderator.
evandale: Cash has been used for facilitating crime since currency was invented
wolverine876: How is that relevant?
The question obviously isn't whether crypto facilitates crime because USD facilitates crime better. If the ability to facilitate crime was a question of whether you should use a currency or not then we wouldn't be using USD anymore.

No idea what you're trying to say here but it doesn't seem like you're arguing in good faith. Everybody will accept USD for any good or service anywhere in the world and USD is less traceable and more anonymous than bitcoin which defeats another "bitcoin is only used for crime" argument. No. It isn't only used for crime. It's actually a terrible thing to use for crime because of how traceable it is.
