Read the whole thread - decided that everyone made some very good pointers...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

You made me reread the whole thread and then your comment

I've renewed it for the last time. The next time it comes due, I will have retired and won't need it.
It's a giant scam on the US gov... Someone is getting a kickback on it.

Yeah, that's it. DoD requires ANYBODY filling an IT positions maintain a Security+ cert, regardless of their actual job.
The most recent absurdity (happened a couple of years ago) was that they required our help desk people get Security+ certs. Seriously?

I guess the certificate is named so because it gives the exam company income security+

I assume you mean that BTC is only good for the dark web. Tesla isn't the first "regular" buyer. A number of professional investors are also buying BTC as well. I have no idea where it will end, but your take is rather blinkered.

Laundering. I can see one "intrinsic value" of cryptocurrency: anonymity.
"Pro" investors ... you mean like the GameStop short sellers? They got their shorts handed to them.

"Laundering" is an invented crime, to add another charge in the hope of a plea bargain. Charge people with their actual crimes, not "laundering".
And what's wrong with anonymity? Whose business is it where you move your money? Many Chinese emigrants have bypassed capital controls (not being allowed to take your money out of the country) using BTC or other cryptos.
In an age where privacy is being assaulted on all fronts, anything that helps anonymity deserves praise, he says, typing through a VPN.

No, money laundering is an old crime: the process of turning ill-gotten gains into legal funds that are easy to spend.
Suppose you sell drugs, and turn over $50K per week. That's all cash: used bills. You want to buy a car, you don't walk into a Ferrari dealership with $100,000 in used notes - questions will be asked, and it's a dead giveaway as far as law enforcement is concerned. You don't need that kind of attention, so you need to launder the money.
I'm not going to even try to describe how you do that; I haven't got a clue.
But the UN estimate is that between 2 and 5% or the global GDP is laundered every year: between $850 billion and $2.5 trillion per year!
And a large percentage of that - and growing - is cryptocurrency (most of it through two exchanges: Binance and Huobi)
And cryptocurrency isn't anonymous or private: all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network.

And it allows him to dodge income taxes. But, hey, it's "ok" because we pay too much tax anyway ... let the "honest folk suckers" bear the burden of the infrastructure on which to drive his Tesla.
