 The irony of you defending a system that allows men like this to maintain power. 
 He died in prison, that's a pretty odd maintaining of power. What's funnier is that you're going "look at this evil bank, doing business with a millionaire who turned out to be a pedo" and yet the bank you're calling out is one of the few banks that have tried to use crypto as part of their business.

When you stop defending pedos and stop approving of child sexual assault material being posted, I promise to try to take you more seriously. 
 If you'd  actually paid attention to the links I shared in good faith, then you'd know that ALL banks are adopting "crypto," but crypto isn't bitcoin, is it?  

Why are you here shilling for CBDC's, shitcoin boy? 
 All banks aren't adopting crypto, not even CDBCs. Right now it's an idea they are bouncing around at most. I'm sure in the long run most banks will have some form of interaction with crypto because it's a great way to part idiots with their money, but it's never going to replace the financial system and fiat. 
 You continue to astound me with your wrongness lol:

"130 countries, representing 98 percent of global GDP, are exploring a CBDC. In May 2020, only 35 countries were considering a CBDC. A new high of 64 countries are in an advanced phase of exploration (development, pilot, or launch). "

 As I said: "Right now it's an idea they are bouncing around at most."

It's funny because you seem to think that means they'll adopt bitcoin and throw away laws that you dislike. If anything the future of money is more under state control, and the more pedos like you push back against it the more I believe they are right to tighten control. 
 "you seem to think that means they'll adopt bitcoin"

Your reading comprehension is 2nd grade level sir.

No, I'm saying they are creating CBDC's in order to try to make bitcoin irrelevant.  Why the fuck would the bankers want us to all have the ability to be our own banks lol? 

You'll love the convenience of the CBDC's, they will allow everyone you disagree with to be cut off from trading in mainstream society with the flip of a switch.  
 For the most part CDBCs would be indistinguishable to existing systems to an end user. 
 Oh OK.  Zero cash in circulation, expiration dates on your savings, mandatory earmarking, and a back door killswitch are indistinguishable from granny's mattress money. Lolololol.

U are a low quality troll, sir.  Tell the feds to send someone better for me to engage with please.
