"Crypto is just for criminals and terrorists."
Except in Canada's case, the government has chucked working class Canadian citizens donating to a legitimately mainstream cause under the banner of terrorists by freezing their bank accounts.
TERRORISTS!!
But surely it won't happen to you, right?
Probably?
Maybe...?
Yikes.
Check out this read from David Heinemeier Hansson, the Danish creator of the Ruby on Rails web development framework for a great opinion piece on the use case for decentralised money:
Minds and perception changes over time.
We are still so early.

Saw the buzz around the article yesterday on Twitter. Who would have thought that the "politest" nation in the world will be the wake-up call against tyranny...
You would also think that this is the tipping point. The government literally stated that every Canadian that thinks differently should not be given the freedom of choice. They are implementing the social credit score and just because they are giving it different names people don't seem to have a problem with it.
Feels more true with every passing day.

So sad watching our societies getting further divided down bullshit political lines.
And once the other half of politics are elected next election, we will see the same terrorism claims happening on the other side.
So disillusioning.

Do you know what else if for criminals and terrorists?
You get the picture. Crypto is a tool, as is nearly everything we use or consume. Crypto is as good or as bad as the person using it.

LOL, not at all! I'm just saying that when people say that "something" is used by or is for undesirables that means they are mistaken.
It's like saying that ballet can't be used by martial artists either before or after the advent of Mixed Martial Arts. Look no further than Jean-Claude Van Damme before he hit the big-time with Bloodsport.
It's also like Star Wars fans saying that only Sith and other Dark Siders use Force Lightning; that's simply not true, even if we haven't seen examples of Light Siders using Force Lightning. They're going to say that a Jedi Master the caliber of Yoda doesn't know how to use Force Lightning?
When people say that something is "used by" or "is for" criminals and terrorists, that person has a hidden agenda. We can use anything, even if it seems unconventional or unexpected for us to use that thing.
