Crickets?
I have to admit that Bitcoin has a huge advantage in its ability to completely bypass the banking system.

That's what the human traffickers like about crypto.
The id-to-id transfer of Bitcoin is anonymous, but when you go to convert it to cash, I think you usually have to give id of some kind to get the cash. Unless you can get some person to hand you the cash.
Can anyone answer how a person makes money with crypto without finding a bigger fool to buy it?
Have not got any and don't expect any cogent answers.
JPMorgan calls for regulatory quick fix for crypto hedging

LONDON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - New rules are needed urgently to give banks certainty in handling cryptoassets on behalf of big
customers who want to enter the rapidly evolving market, a senior executive from U.S. bank JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) said on Tuesday.
Then sells the currewncy to whoever will buy it bringing the price right back down to close to zero. The hedge pays off and he gets oodles of money for nothing (still has to pay for his chicks though).
The he finds some not so bright banker
Today, the government officially passed a law legalising Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
When the Canadian dollar is worthless,
a friendly reminder that he who controls the ability to store, access, and transfer money can exert near total control over a society.
it’s a thing you need to know. because believe you me, the governments know it too and they rely heavily upon this monopoly for both surveillance and for suppression.
you’re seeing it right now in canada as funds for protesters get frozen, blocked, and outright stolen.
the families of those who donated to the truckers (and had their data hacked) are finding their accounts frozen by the government. it’s being used as explicit punishment under emergency powers to silence and attack peaceful political opponents. ...
we did not take your right to speech, we just took your money because you spoke. (and yes, political donations are and must be protected speech) ...
it’s not an accident that as we see this in the US:
this convoy is being largely funded by crypto. and yeah, sure, you cannot seize a cold wallet that is self stored and air-gapped and sure, there is generally no fiduciary to force,
BUT, and this is a major but, it’s also pretty hard to turn that BTC or ETH into USD that you can use to buy, say, diesel fuel without tripping over the US government.
and i’m very curious to see if this is something they manage to get around. ...
the “globalist” leaders are not taking kindly to the idea of challenge to their control of money systems.
make no mistake: the fight to control money will be the axis mundi of the social credit systems the collectivist planners seek to impose.
any tool the state can use against your enemies it can turn upon you as well.
and in time, they will. ...
and this is exactly why taking them away and rendering money, commerce, savings, and investment opaque to government will be one of the most important projects of the coming decade.
it will fundamentally reshape the nature of the relationship between people and government and result in perhaps the most potent reapportionment of power since the magna carta or the bill of rights.
it will make we the people the customer of the state not its subject because the state will not be able to grab wealth at will anymore. you cannot tax what you cannot see.
they declare emergency, brand opposition as terrorists, and start seizing assets.
this is a playbook straight from the 1930’s.
this is not fixable. we cannot get a “nice leviathan that respects you.’
moving outside it and making it subject to our tolerance rather than we to its is the only way.
the technology is, for the first time, really available to do this.
