State of the art programming, all with the goal of scamming people.
Crypto programmers don't "have" to do anything because they are working on an illegitimate, unregulated security.
Have you heard of Indian call centers? Let's ban phones, let's ban email, let's ban gift cards, let's ban bank accounts.
The fact that the technology is also being used to scam people doesn't mean that the whole thing is bad. There are numerous use cases beyond illegal activity, and you focusing on a tiny fraction of the whole thing just shows that you don't actually want to understand, but that hate is your only way of expressing, that you don't understand it.
Here, read up. They've got studies and sources for their claims.
Scam call centers are illegal and get shut down often. Great example if you want to somehow convince people that crypto isn't a scam.
So you're saying that scamming through crypto isn't illegal and that the people behind it don't get caught?
You're comparing apples and oranges, it doesn't work like that.
Crypto is the "phone" or "email" from my example, it's just a medium.
So yeah, good job showing you don't understand how it works
What's your endgame here, you need us to buy shitcoins you lost money on or something?
Nice, well done, let's attack me personally instead of having a conversation. That will get you far in life.
You feel attacked because you lost money on crypto scams? That sucks.
I feel attacked because you attacked my integrity instead of trying to have a useful conversation.
That's fine though, people are scared of things they don't understand, that's a well known fact.
Have fun falling behind
