    Info about Grandma Crackers’ fundraisers for her grandson’s cancer treatment and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

    They also created a crypto token where the fees go to the previously mentioned fundraisers.

        Love it how banks managed to convince everyone that crypto is bad, so they can stay rich and in power of controlling your money.

          I don’t think banks have been in charge of the countless pump and dump crypto schemes in recent years. And Bankman-Fried (despite his name) wasn’t running a bank.

            You know why there’s much less fraud with banks? Because they’re regulated. You know why crypto is not regulated? Because banks don’t want it, it’s bad for business.

            And if you think billionaires/bankers won’t do everything in their power to hold on to that power and money, including campaigns to make crypto look bad, and everything in their power to hide their own crimes, you are are heavily misguided.

              I didn’t say “banks good”, I said “crypto bros (also) bad”. You don’t think the ones running the crypto schemes are also “greedy corrupt pedophiles”? Maybe you’re “heavily misguided”.

                Dude, did you not know that most cryptos, the good ones, are decentralised. Tell me, who owns BTC? Spoiler alert - no one.

                Are cryptos perfect? No, but you should really educate yourself about cryptos, beyond the Facebook posts you saw.

            Oh, I didn’t know that billionaires are honest and law abiding people. Not some greedy corrupt pedophiles, no no no.
