Episode 13: Whataboutism and illegal activities
In this podcast episode, Lorraine explores the concept of "whataboutism" as it pertains to illegal activities within the cryptocurrency space. Rather than resorting to this unproductive tactic to deflect concerns about criminal activity, Lorraine advocates for a more nuanced approach that acknowledges these concerns while also presenting a more comprehensive view. Despite the existence of illicit transactions within the crypto realm, data suggest that the vast majority of transactions are not illegal, for example. Furthermore, in regions where confidence in government-backed currencies is low and inflation is rampant, cryptocurrencies are actually adding value by providing a viable alternative to fiat currencies.
