I can make the same point for every currency.

But crypto is definitely special

You are aware what is happening in USA and eu right? Regulation of crypto.

And china did it before too.

The reason why the influence is lower because of all those crashes and regulations.

Ethically he is.

There have plenty of people loosing a lot of money in crypto due to them believing 'get rich fast', etc.

The people who got rich of crypto are not rich because value was created out of thin air but because enough VC or cryptobros pushed tons of ads in their faces to get more money from normal people.

If someone now randomly donates 100k in crypto it was probably money from normal other people.

Or and that's a second option: it's money laundry.

Nope. I created an account to comment on crypto.

I spend too much time on hn and discussions. Not much to interpret into my fresh account.it would be great to have a feature were hn shows me less content.

Anyway I still stand by my point: either it's money laundry or it is money from someone who got rich through crypto which is genuine just the money from others.

I'm lost on why you don't try to counterpoint instead of being offended.

I would not take anonymous crypto for ethical reasons

It's not unrealistic, the progress in this area is fast and results already quite good.

So either money laundry or money from other people who lost those 100k in their crypto adventures.

I would not take anonymous crypto.

I think you compare apples with bananas.

Binance is targeted by existing laws against money laundry, bank license etc.

TikTok is suggested spying on people.

Why would TikTok matter here at all?

And me and other people said it often enough: as soon as crypto is big enough to threaten countries control over money they will make it illegal and the loudly repeated benefit of uncontrolled money will be gone.

And it was also always clear that crypto is not solving this problem because it's by design and not a problem to solve.
