Seriously though why not? People pay for criminal transactions in USD, GBP, EUR. Do you not use these currencies?

How do you think North Korea funds its nuclear program

[–] Specal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably by not spending money on making sure it's citizens are fed and healthy but what a silly way for thinking for me, the answer is obvious you're right, they created a crypto currency and get the NYC mafia to pay for their nuclear program
