Via Spokesman-Review, the suburb of Spokane Valley has banned bitcoin ATMs after a romance scam via bitcoin led to a suicide.
Good work, Valley. BUT THIS BAN SHOULD BE NATIONAL, not just a few scattered cities. The whole realm of bitcoin in all of its ramifications should be permanently banned.
Of course bitcoin WOULD be banned if it had been truly “decentralized” and truly “independent”. The fact that it was NOT banned is 100% proof that the whole crime is a deepstate sting. The Secret Service has always ferreted out and prosecuted OTHER forms of counterfeit. They have the authority and the skills and manpower. In this case they were obviously told not to use their skills.
