Crypto has been a scam from the beginning, the only thing that's changed is the public perception after NFTs bombed massively and crypto was once again left without any use case.

How do you donate money to sci-hub without crypto?

I mean, I'd love to change my snarky one-element list to a zero-element list!

Huh? I've gotten paid for services in XMR. It already works. Even banks see the benefits of Ethereum.

Hey you dumb fuck, try living in a third world country and you'll find the use case real fast. Actually, you'll find out either way beause USA will collapse soon.
