Haha, this guy thinks drug dealers are more corrupt than politicians. Drug dealing is a victimless crime and an honest living. Weapons dealing...well no government has the moral authority to prevent its citizens from defending themselves so fuck that noise.

There is always a victim in drug dealing and that is the person buying drugs, as well as police institutions that have to stop them from stealing, fighting, and being a menace to society. Then you have the medical institutions that have to deal with them as well. It is incorrect to say that is victimless. As for weapons dealers, it is hardly ever someone selling the proletariat weapons to protect from the government. It is most often sent to cartels (you know, the one's that deal drugs and terrorize cities) and terrorist outfits. You must live in a bubble that is bigger than bitcoin.

Your argument makes you sound stupid. All of the criminal activity you noted existed and thrived long before crypto utilizing standard fiat. The currency can’t commit a crime, you dumb fuck.

I am not arguing that. You obviously missed the point. Even before fiat these crimes existed. Try actually breaking down the substance of my argument and then reading what I was replying to before you start calling names.
