Also, most cryptos have state of the art programming. They have to, because any little hole or vulnerability puts millions or billions of dollars at risk.
There’s no lowest bidder here, how’d you even come up with that?
People employed in crypto are usually very well paid, because they have to be good at their jobs.
The absolute majority of cryptocurrencies is fully open source.
Seriously man, educate yourself before spitting nonsense.
Edit: I’d appreciate if anyone downvoting me provided their reasons for doing so, preferably with sources to back them up. I’m happy to provide examples to back my arguments up if requested.
Have you heard of Indian call centers? Let’s ban phones, let’s ban email, let’s ban gift cards, let’s ban bank accounts.
The fact that the technology is also being used to scam people doesn’t mean that the whole thing is bad. There are numerous use cases beyond illegal activity, and you focusing on a tiny fraction of the whole thing just shows that you don’t actually want to understand, but that hate is your only way of expressing, that you don’t understand it.
Here, read up. They’ve got studies and sources for their claims.
Yeah, you hear about the things that go wrong and not about the ones that don’t.
I’m not saying everything is perfect, obviously it isn’t, but the people on here are talking about how incredibly shit it is without any redeeming qualities, which just simply isn’t true. It’s harder to prove a negative (that things aren’t bad), especially since nobody’s gonna write a “no protocol got hacked today, $x billion is safe” article.
It’s an exchange, not a cryptocurrency.
Check your facts before you start the hate train.

Ah yes, the most secure code possible: brand new, closed-source, and written by the lowest bidder.

Website: “915 days in a year”, you: “they are well paid and good at their job”. Anyone seeing your comment: 🤨
Anyone reading the thread would understand that I’m talking about crypto, not exchanges.
Well done though, peak comedy
State of the art programming, all with the goal of scamming people.
Crypto programmers don’t “have” to do anything because they are working on an illegitimate, unregulated security.

Scam call centers are illegal and get shut down often. Great example if you want to somehow convince people that crypto isn’t a scam.
I think they meant call centers in general, for legal sales.No they didn’t I’m wrongSo you’re saying that scamming through crypto isn’t illegal and that the people behind it don’t get caught?
You’re comparing apples and oranges, it doesn’t work like that.
Crypto is the “phone” or “email” from my example, it’s just a medium.
So yeah, good job showing you don’t understand how it works
What’s your endgame here, you need us to buy shitcoins you lost money on or something?
Nice, well done, let’s attack me personally instead of having a conversation. That will get you far in life.
You feel attacked because you lost money on crypto scams? That sucks.
I feel attacked because you attacked my integrity instead of trying to have a useful conversation.
That’s fine though, people are scared of things they don’t understand, that’s a well known fact.
Have fun falling behind
It’s an exchange for a cryptocurrency of the same name I did my homework
You’d get an F then mate.
The fact that they have a token is in no way relevant to the fact that we’re talking about an exchange here.
I dunno, been seeing quite a few posts from https://indieweb.social/@web3isgreat that do kind of give a bad impression…

My general problem with cryptocurrency is their environmental impact / resource usage compared to traditional payment systems.
It’s a problem that’s being solved. Bitcoin will probably suck in this regard forever, but Ethereum for example has migrated over to a much environmentally friendlier system.
Growing pains, but I think that we’re on a good path going forward.
