Laundering is behaviour done by bad actors - you're trying to claim Bitcoin will stop the actions of these bad actors? You realize the bad actors can just switch who they coerce with bribery, threats or violence from banks to aligning at the bottom of the MLM-Ponzi scheme and are now financially incentivized to get all of society adopting Bitcoin - through regulatory capture/bribing/coercing politicians etc?

I'd love for you to respond to this too, but gets ignored every time I ask/point it out: Bitcoin and similar prevent powerful mechanisms through policy like the Magnitsky Act allowing economic penalties of known bad actors, hopefully swaying their bad behaviour before physical/violent means are necessary.

Just because there are problems with integrity doesn't mean the answer is making/using an inflexible system.


I spent $1.4 million of my own money attempting to dethrone Craigslist in 2007.

Didn't work.
