I want to live in a world where the DEA and Interpol simply confirm via phone call that the drug dealers did in fact flush the coke down the toilet after depositing $50M in their Bitcoin wallet for not selling it on the street.
We should just start grading school work based on what the kid says they did and how well they did it and give raises at work in a similar fashion.
That's the kind of world I want to live in.
