Fake money for criminals is speaking of USD here?

Just because it grows at 8% doesnt mean its fake, its also fake because the Fed is a corrupt institution that stopped caring about measuring real inflation a long time ago.

Crypto currency. Bit coin's primary use case is crime, money laundering, drugs, assassination, ransomware. For normal transactions, it's too slow and expensive, but for crime, that's not a problem.

Also, USD is not a recent tech innovation.
