I am not a big fan of crypto either, but don’t understand why crypto (the technology itself) would be unethical. Could you explain?

Energy use that doesn't deliver concrete value to the world. Mostly just speculators and gambling, but uses a a couple hundred TWh of electricity worldwide. Yes yes I know, some applications are lower energy usage but parent comment is asking about the ethics of crypto in general.

Parent asked about ethics of crypto, the technology, in general. This comment isn't about the technology, but the applications, and doesn't answer their question.

I don't necessarily think we should separate applications from theory, but to be more crisp, I would probably say the facilitation of money laundering and funding of terrorist groups is something unethical.

Sure, not in general, but shaism was specifically asking for theory, and you replied to them without actually answering their question. And you still haven't.

> the facilitation of money laundering and funding of terrorist groups

...and this isn't unique to crypto, either, so it's unclear that it's relevant.

Would you be shocked to know that US dollars are used more for both money laundering and funding terrorism than cryptocurrencies? Should we outlaw US dollars due to facilitating unethical uses?

Some lady contacted me on IG and got me to trade with this company. Constantly convincing me for one reason to the other to keep increasing my deposits. Long story short, I lost about $88,000 I've never been so disappointed in my life, trusted them only to be deceived like this. Just another one of those shady companies that have nothing to offer. Wish I had read some comments in forums earlier, wouldn't have dealt with them. Glad I found a reliable expert at Henry Walter in some forums who helped me get back everything I lost. If you're also a victim of these guys or lost your money to similar companies, write me and I'll refer you to the Recovery Experts. I'll make sure you get back everything you lost Email: davidmoore9951 (@) GM AIL , C0M
