> Anyone got kidos who grind crypto?

I just overheard my kid's friend talking about how you buy everything you want on "the dark web" using bitcoin to pay for it.



That's obviously bad. But kids have always bought drugs.

That is an example of how kidos can create their own economies with crypto. Money is something everyone understands. Even penguins & chimps understand trade (for sex, with the link provided)[0].

If there's a way to ensure children didn't have access to drugs of abuse, I'm all for that. Drugs & developing brains !mix. & it seems prohibition hasn't helped any. It's spawned more concentrated substances & resilient drug markets.
