    Crypto is always a cash-grab for early investors, and even less trustworthy coming from Facebook. Stay far, far, away.

    for sure, I'm not even actually against monopolies. however, its unfortunate that the companies tend to have to act pretty awful to get themselves in a situation where their a monopoly. i dont think capitalism is necessarily the issue but too often ive seen recently big big companies sidestepping morals in the search for more profits at the detriment to users. and teddy roosevelt era laws dont know how to deal with it
