Unexpectedly, a technology designed to escape any form of state regulation has allowed criminal activity to grow exponentially:
➡️ Millions of poor suckers have had their lives crushed in crypto-currency scams
➡️ #Bitcoin/crypto-currencies have fueled a multi-billion dollar criminal ransomware industry, targeting businesses, states, critical infrastructure, hospitals, ....
It's time to put an end to this madness and ban crypto-currencies permanently.
@FranckLeroy no.
Instead force people to READ THE FUCKING DISCLAIMERS like #Sun does with their Licenses even prior to the acquisition by #Oracle.
Also there's a simple solution to #Ransomware:
REFUSE TO USE UNFIXABLE SHIT LIKE #WINDOWS!
Seriously: learn, #TechIlliterate!

@FranckLeroy no, but refusing to take actual #consequences yet expecting shit to change seems insane to me.
@FranckLeroy
How many times must people burn their hands to realize "fire is hot"?
How often must someone get hacked to accept the inconvenient truth that #Windows is a #Govware that is #InsecureAtAnyConfiguration??
How much pain and suffering will people accept till they say: "Fuck this shit, I'm gonna switch to #Linux!" ???

@[email protected] Are you seriously blaming ransomwares on the victims ?
@FranckLeroy I mean we're not in the early 2000s where Linux was some 1337hax0r elite shit and only the most skilled nerds were able to enjoy a fancy #KDE4 Plasma Desktop with hardware-acceleration and rock-solid 60+ fps.
Or are #TechIlliterates really that decoupled that they've basically given up and accepted #malware & #ransomware ruining their day and work as a fact of life?
If so then making PCs accessible to these ignorants was a horrble mistake!
Banning #Cryptocurrency is just a shitty form of "#VirtueSignallimg" just like banning #PlasticStraws yet keeping plastic cup lids is.
It won't change jack shit and it's a horrible excuse to let most people suffer due to a minority of antisocial assholes that use #SueHaply instead of choosing with their wallet to do meaningful investments instead.

@FranckLeroy not that I'm defending any of those shitty #CryptoBros and #NFT-based #Scammers - far from it.
I personally think that #Monero is the "least worst" #cryptocurrency because aside from it's #privacy features it is purposefully incompatible with #NFTs and it's the closest to an actually useable, digital currency that isn't a #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider grift...
@FranckLeroy so yes, I do blame those that are paying ransom.
LEARN TO BACKUP YOUR SHIT, PEOPLE!
