Because I Am Bored
&gt; PS: my preferred solution to the problems created by cryptocurrencies is to treat them all like child pornography: totally illegal, possession a strict liability offense, choke off interoperability with real currencies at the credit agency&#x2F;bank interchange level, and make them useless for non-criminals, at which point only criminals will bother with them. And India is going down this route.<p>If that&#x27;s a joke, I fail to see how it&#x27;s funny ... It&#x27;s wild to see such rabid hyperbole, lumping all decentralised currency into a single basket with child pornography (!!) go completely unremarked on.<p>BTW the linked article from 2018 re India&#x27;s &quot;ban&quot; talks about an order which was struck down by the Indian Supreme Court in March 2020.
