Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in “what about…?”) is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.
From a logical and argumentative point of view, whataboutism is considered a variant of the tu-quoque pattern (Latin ‘you too’, term for a counter-accusation), which is a subtype of the ad-hominem argument.
lol ok. It’s not a scam because it’s decentralized, trustless, and politically invincible. Is that enough for you? Might want to spend more time researching your logical fallacies, because this makes you look like an idiot.
All of the anti crypto people are idiots. They barely understand how fiat works and then expect the world to believe crypto is a scam because “they say so”?.
Do yourself a favor and just block, ignore and move on. You are never going to educate these folks.
You’re going to be blocking a lot of people. 75% of Americans who have heard of cryptocurrency are not confident in its safety and reliability. Those are majorly important things for any currency.
Cryptocurrency is a scam because no one backs it. There’s no guarantee major exchanges won’t fold overnight. It’s just “trust me bro” with your life savings.
All major currencies have a government backing them. That means they guarantee that you can (must) pay your taxes and any government fees in the local currency.
Which do you think will last longer? The US Government or a “trust me bro” crypto website? It’s that simple.
