Cryptocurrencies are beloved by criminals and money-launderers. They should be banned, in my opinion.

Electrons, backed by nothing.

Those of us who are disgusted by the evil actions of the shorting gangs and the ambulance-chasing attorneys who file greenmailing "shareholder suits" should think about how easy it would be for people to fund these kinds of activities with Bitcoin etc. It's bad enough that they can use offshore banks, but this cryptocurrency business makes it much easier for criminals to fund such schemes.
