Interesting it’s like meta money laundering. It allows regular folks to make money off the illegal economy.
In some ways this was the extra profits banks made off illegal activities but that was largely held within the bank, not available to normies.
Is it regular folks, though? I imagine it's mostly big whales who are probably also doing shady stuff, too. We're talking about people doing money laundering, so financially savvy.
Few outside people get rich off the mafia.
My random lawyer is buying crypto. So they get to have their value increase as all the shenanigans goes on.
