I really want to like public transit!
Pitbulls should be designated the fifth pest. It would go a long way towards making cities safer to walk and bike.

Where does the clean money to exchange for crypto come from if there's no legitimate on-ramp and off-ramp? You could at least exchange drugs and alcohol for dirty fiat.
How does your friend from Amsterdam convert his crypto to Euros? The value of crypto more or less relies on there being an off-ramp to local currency. Also he should use Monero!
