It's criminal that cryptocurrency was ever allowed to exist in the first place, but the argument went something along the lines of "well artworks are valued only by what people will pay for them, so if people are willing to pay real currency for fake currency with no backup or guarantees of any kind, then they have a legal right to do so...". But cryptocurrency has been a legalized Ponzi scheme from the very beginning.
It's long been my contention that the recursive abstraction of money into further and further complications is allowed only to foster this kind of blatant siphoning off of people's time and effort. Ironically (and I bring this up not as a religious reference and just a great example of how long this has been going on), the only time in Jesus' narrated life that he "went off" was on the money changers in the Temple that were doing the same thing...siphoning away peoples' time and effort with nothing real to offer for it.
