“Buy something online with cash.

Didn’t think so.

There will always be a cash paper trail back to Y-O-U.”

Who said anything about online? As far as a “cash paper trail”, that’s nonsense. Far more drug deals involve cash than BTC...

“Dang, my dog ate my bitcoin!”

Hah, did your dog ear your will, marriage license, or cash too?

I don’t know, but last time I saw Neo, he was following the White Rabbit.

You just made the case for me, thanks.

Cryptocurrency was invented to conceal the sources of funding for online purchases. It’s a terrible investment, but that doesn’t matter to those who use it to launder money.

Even a 40% loss is acceptable when you’re able to completely conceal illegal activities.

Cash carries much more risk in every respect.
