Lost mine decades ago.
I think that I just threw it away.
But that was long before I realized how dumb and naive' people are.
I should have kept it to sell later to some dumb sucker.

"WOW! - AN ORIGINAL PET ROCK!"

Note: I personally did not originally pay for that pet rock.
Some dumb 5 year old kid begged his mom to buy it for him...

So NOW you decide to 'fess up' and admit that YOU are responsible
for the great influx of this 'invasive species' of all of these infernal stones.

Oh, I see how it is.
But better late than never, I guess.

> Crypto was never intended for general public use. It was initially for ‘dark web’ purposes for dealing illegal drugs and pedophilia and other prostitution reasons.

I suspect you’re off target. BitCoin, for example, is very open. The ledger is fully visible. It was painfully obvious from the git-go, every BitCoin transaction is traceable. The motivation was to provide an alternative to Gov’t-manipulated fiat money.

Now, it is true criminals and fraudsters have created criminal enterprises around crypto. But they do it with real money too! Even Gov’t-issued funds, e.g. it’s pretty obvious a substantial amount of Gov’t spending is mostly a vehicle to launder tax dollars into the pockets of the connected.

I hope he goes to prison for a long time and enjoys his new bunk mates.
