Bill Gates was recently asked for his opinion on cryptocurrencies and the response was rather shocking. Bill claims that the currencies are responsible for many deaths in a ‘fairly direct way’ because people can use cryptocurrencies to buy deadly drugs.
It is statements such as these which really expose how a person thinks. Money has been around for a very long time and in many different forms, cryptocurrencies are just a brand new form. The demand for drugs is out there, and this is just the way that people are obtaining them now. If not over the internet with cryptocurrencies, than they would just go out and find a drug dealer with paper money.
