My opinions are rooted in personal experience as well, so we can cancel out each other there. That said, I highly doubt you’re willing to change your mind, based on what I’ve seen. I’ll reply here, but I doubt you’re going to change my opinion on that and respond to you again.
“Except if anything happens, then they find all sorts of loopholes to try to get out of it”
Like what?
You mean aside from the sexual assault allegations against their drivers where they argue they aren’t liable for what their driver did while engaging in ride shares for them because they’re not employees? And let’s not even acknowledge that these companies knew what was happening and chose not to do anything about it because it would impact profits.
So how is that any different from getting scammed via cash or mugged in person?
Hahahaha, you claim this argument is a straw man while using the most straw man analogy.
Crypto robbery is very different from cash robbery in a very obvious and meaningful way that makes it obvious why it’s a straw man:
I can’t get robbed of my cash from the other side of the world. Crypto can, and pretending it’s anything like cash is a joke.
Can you magically reverse the mugging and get your cash back?
If I get mugged in person, there’s a chance to escape or find the robber and get the money back. Good luck getting Boris in Moscow to give your money back, assuming you find him.
I see this argument made by antj-crypto people all the time but it’s never once been said (in fact I literally said it doesn’t prevent scamming because it’s like cash yet you still strawmanned my argument)
Respectfully, the caveat you included is disingenuous at the very best, and outright invalidates the point you’re trying to make at worst.
Saying crypto is like cash when it comes to scams is like comparing modern fighter jets to WWI fighters. Would you call it a straw man to say “They both shoot down enemy aircraft”? Because that’s what I hear when you say both cash and crypto can both be used for scams.
Like, I’m not arguing cash can’t be used for scams, but you can’t honestly tell me it isn:t easier to get scammed out money and more of it with crypto than cash.
Good thing people always act logically and never misunderstand or hallucinate, SEO gaming definitely wasn’t a major problem before LLMs right?
Damn, guess we should turbo charge our fuckups with AI since humans sometimes make mistakes.
I honestly wish you clanker apologists would come up with a better argument in defense of the bullshit machine other than ‘humans fuckup too’, as if that line of reasoning wasn’t a point against your argument.
