Bitcoin is for Criminalswww.bitcoinisforcriminals.com

While all of you hooligans have been arguing about OP_RETURN, I've discovered that bitcoin is actually being used by criminals!!! I've been hard at work making a web page to bring attention to this issue. Please share it with your representative, senator, or any other interested parties so that we can bring attention to this issue.

Anyway, sorry to throw more FUD on the fire, but it's just true.
  1. In all seriousness, let me know ASAP if you think this puts anybody in danger. I figure since all of the "criminals" on here are high profile enough that I could have AI write their rapsheets, this won't create any new issues for anybody.
  2. If you want to fix any typos, inaccuracies, add anything, or just make this look professional, let me know and I'll send you the repo. It's literally just an html and css file right now. I had the idea and threw it together pretty quick.

That's stupid and useless. They will just laugh about because they do not care. And they are not "my representatives"... I am myself, nobody can "represent" me. Stop being like a child begging to politicians for favors or privileges... grown up men do not need permission.

Yes saw it. Have nothing to do with the comment "sending it to my representatives"... wtf is that bullshit?

So, if you get the joke of the site, the whole, “share with your reps,” part is kind of the next level trolling. In my fantasy world, senator Warren cites it in some speech about illicit activity.

Yea, I knew. I was also joking. Actually one of their leaders recently made a comment that they hold and nurture terrorists because USA said so. Also the recent tensions of Pakistan with India has left them with no other choice than to lift the ban from Bitcoin.
Now they have even appointed CZ to help them regulate the virtual currency space.
I think Pakistan no longer bans Bitcoin.

Just that the real criminals of our economy are the big banks, which are now coming into Bitcoin in a big way, so Bitcoin is clearly now also for criminals indeed.

It's kind of a weird experience making a page dedicated to all your heroes, but is a satire that on the surface looks like it's critiquing them.

One of the most common criticisms of cryptocurrency is that it is the currency of criminals. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in the US, famously said “If you were in Venezuela or Ecuador or North Korea or a bunch of parts like that, or if you were a drug dealer, a murderer, stuff like that, you are better off doing it in bitcoin than US dollars,”
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, when referencing terrorist financing, stated “The technologies to accomplish this change over time and we need to make sure that our methods for dealing with these matters, with tech terrorist financing, change along with changing technology, cryptocurrencies are a particular concern.”
So, is there truth behind this? Are cryptocurrencies really the go to financial tools for criminals?
Without a doubt, there are examples of cryptocurrencies being used for nefarious purposes, such as payment for ransomware attacks, to launder dirty money, etc. This is unavoidable, as it is with any currency. I mean, criminal activity happened before crypto existed, and had no problem operating in national currencies such as the US Dollar.
