It is really saddening to see all that financial potential disappear into thin air (or black holes), when it could have been used for so much good - cancer / medicine research is extremely expensive and could use any financial backing possible - yet some people find it more important to virtually own some ugly digital image instead. And worse, then they lose even that to scammers.
@johanbove I’m of firm belief that if all the wealth sitting in the (offshore) accounts of billionaires was in the economy instead, we might’ve had a cure for cancer by now.
