Really sorry to hear about your friends kid and I hope they get the help they need 🙏 🙏
That said, people have car crashes daily, should the car dealers be serving time?
And with this line of thinking, all doctors should definitely be in jail.
And the drug manufacturers both legal and illegal.
Should the kids parents serve time for not being attentive enough to prevent their child from buying and doing drugs?
And in Ross’s case should the the internet providers, computer manufacturers, the rare earth miners all serve time?
and on it goes..
If someone apes into bitcoin and it drops 70% and they can’t pay their mortgage and the bank takes their house and their family is homeless, whose fault is it?
I don’t have all the answers here, your post just really got me thinking..
Either we are empowered and responsible for our actions, or we are not and are thereby at the mercy of multitudes of external forces, many of which certainly do not have our well-being in mind.
I don’t know if Ross should have served time, but he has, and way more than enough at this point..
and to be clear, he isn’t serving time because people sold drugs on a platform he created.. he is serving time because he allowed bitcoin to be the medium of exchange, that is what they fear..
Open to thoughts..
