Technology doesn’t scam people, it’s not alive. People get scammed in all areas of life, regardless of technology they use. It’s ridiculous that I have to explain this again.

"Crypto doesn't scam people, people scam people" 🙄. It's ridiculous that you have an inability or unwillingness to reasonably evaluate a tool and what its common and obvious uses are. Oh wait, you can do that with tools you don't like:

I guess phones are better for spying people.

There is a difference between giving someone your money vs paying for a service.

Depends upon how you're going to guarantee fulfillment of the service...which is a thing you can't really do without a mediating party....unless it's ugly ape art or a different form of shitcoin.

Right, only cryptocurrency could become worthless, stolen or forgotten. Paper junk can’t.

USD isn't only "paper junk", but I should've expected that as a crypto enthusiast you wouldn't understand actual currency.
