        And it’s been around for 17 years now so if it’s a Ponzi scheme it’s one of the most amazingly long-running ones ever.

        People are free to dislike cryptocurrency and to not use it, but they should at least recognize that there are people who do use it and who do like it.

      Then how do you donate to an international movement that got blacklisted by paypal, swift, etc?

      Cryptocurrency has value.

        If they’re blacklisted then how will they sell the cryptocurrency for fiat and be able to use the fiat in any meaningful way?

          Because its a p2p currency. You can’t blacklist a p2p currency. There’s is no middleman.

          Thats why its valuable.

            That’s true but operationally they can’t pay for all their expenses in cryptocurrency so they will need to sell it for fiat first.

        I think you misread my comment, I didn’t mention cryptography, I only mentioned cryptocurrency.
