Your identity is in your function, your function is in your choice.
Which will keep you firmly entrenched in that which you already hold dear, believable, and "true", however. Is that what makes a place "better", though? Even if at a certain point you lose being able to keep track of what is actually factual, because you only care about your own "experience"?

What are your criteria by which you measure the relative "betterness" of a given place, though? With the rock hard rule n. 3 ("never argue with anybody about anything") I can certainly see any place one comes to quickly becoming a "paradise".

And how do you plan on doing that, exactly?

The last one is cute as heck. Would give my props for the technique and the like, but I have no clue what it actually takes on the creation side of the equation, when it comes to drawing. Must have been a solid practice session, though. Keep it up. 💪

And as I much as enjoy - and deem important - the journalistic side of the equation that you're covering, nothing will change until the educational aspect is taken care of as well. The problem is not the scammers, but the scamm-ees. These lows merely "supply" for the underlying "demand".

You often quote it yourself: "show me the incentive, and I will you show you the outcome". Irreversible, untraceable*, anonymous transactions, pushed upon gullible, barely cognizant of the crypto mechanics, people - will lead to these manners of cases again and again.

Nope. This is simply the "us" vs "them" mentality. Which, given the position of US officials on the matter, may very well be engineered behind the scenes by the appropriately trained "magicians". See the "identifying and exploiting fracture points" slide: theintercept.com/2014/02/24/j...
