  The first step is “Fuck the government!” The second step is always “Help me, Obi Wan Government, you’re my only hope!”

    I deserve help from the government as I’ve done everything right and just been unfortunate. Its everyone else who have got into trouble entirely through their own doing that don’t deserve help.

  When was cryptocurrency meant to be untraceable? It literally had the complete ledger out in the public.

      That was true back in the days when you could mine your own coins and hold them in your own wallet, but with all the KYC requirements these days, it’s pretty hard to get, say, BTC that’s not traceable to you.

      It’s not impossible, but it’s certainly not as easy as cash.

      Pseudonymous. "Anonymous" until you use it in any transaction that can be traced to you, then the anonymity of that account is gone forever and every transaction you've ever made can be public knowledge.

        Sorry for the small correction, it’s pseudonymous. So it’s not “fake not named” (pseudo a nonymous) but “fake named”, since each user can be identified by a unique pseudonym.

  They just seem really upset that the scam/grift/MLM didn’t work out in their favour and they’re the ones taking the loss.

  I don’t really agree with this sentiment.

  Are they dipshits?

  Yes

  Should Sothebys lose all credibility and be fined for faking an auction?

  Also yes.

  This crosses certain lines that are beyond just: huuuur crypto dumb

  They are just severely greedy. They have no other ideology.
