    Yeah using a public ledger would have saved the FBI having to get a warrant, especially given how in bed crypto-exchanges are with Trump

    I’m not sure entering the ponzi scheme that is cryptocurrencies would have helped in this case.

      You don’t need to hold crypto to pay with crypto. You just only buy exactly enough to make your payment right when you are going to do so. Yes you’re still buying crypto but you’re also immediately cashing out so there’s no risk of being caught holding the bag.
