Do the shareholders not realize how much easier it is to bribe the president with crypto?

I don't think people who give or take bribes usually like having a permanent history of the transaction.

I bet Zuck is regretting not going forward with their crypto scheme

BECAUSE CRYPTO IS A SCAM

Big incentive to keep trump in power if your bribery of him is public record. Someone else might do something about it

Who even made the proposal?

Same way fiat is.

Édit: damn, and I thought bitcoiners were obnoxious
You guys take the cake with so much copium.

Oh stop it

Workarounds for the shortcomings certainly make bribes possible with crypto but not exactly easier than with traditional currencies.

Which is why they take the bribe in monero

I had an acquaintance ask me about my opinion on crypto a few years ago and I explained it only has the perceived value and is highly volatile as a result, and that all but a few coins were basically rug pulls waiting to happen. He was satisfied with that and moved on. About a year later crypto had roughly doubled in value and he gave me shit about bad advice (it was an opinion not investment advice) and proceeded to move $10k into some coin I'd never heard of. About a month later a mutual friend said the other guy had lost like $8k of his $10k investment. Next time I saw the acquaintance there was no mention of crypto.

It's not, but there are plenty of crypto scams. It's not an investment and it's also not a particularly good store of value, but it is decent for P2P transactions, with some coins also providing privacy.

If that's not your use case, don't buy cryptocurrencues. Most people shouldn't buy them until more places accept them for payment.

Yeah, it's like those people who fall for ads where people get rich going to the casino.

Bribery isn’t illegal, theres no need to be coy and secretive about it.
