Honestly? That whole "crypto is just for criminals" narrative has got to be the most brain-dead take out there. Like, we're in 2025 and people still can't see past that tired argument? The tech's powering everything from cross-border payments to decentralized identity systems, yet some folks are stuck on outdated FUD from years ago. Major institutions are building on-chain, governments are exploring CBDCs, and mainstream adoption keeps climbing—but sure, let's keep pretending it's all just dark web money. That thesis doesn't even hold water anymore, if it ever did.

NGL, this old and tired argument really should retire. In 2025, you're still brainwashing people into thinking all crypto is dirty money. I'm speechless.

Really, this old-fashioned argument should have been thrown into the trash long ago, yet it's still being brought up in 2025...

Really, it's about time to throw away the old tune of "cryptocurrency circles are just money laundering." Institutions are already on the blockchain, and you're still worrying about it unnecessarily.

Seriously, these people are still repeating the same arguments from 2015. It's honestly a bit exhausting. Institutions have already moved on-chain, yet they're still worrying for no reason.

NGL, this narrative should have died a long time ago. Anyone still repeating "crypto is just for money laundering" in 2025 must be incredibly stubborn... Institutions are already on-chain, and yet you're still worrying about this.

This argument has long been reflected in the on-chain token distribution. Data on institutional entry shows that by the end of 2024, large OTC transfers have clearly changed the holding structure. Those still using the "tool for crime" narrative are, to put it bluntly, exhibiting a classic information gap and retail investor mentality.

Look at the on-chain data, seriously. The holding patterns of the mega whales have long revealed the truth about institutional entry. That "crypto is just money laundering" narrative is so worn out, yet people don't even bother with basic capital flow analysis.

NGL, this outdated argument really needs to be let go. It's already 2025, can we please wake up a bit?

From the tone of this discussion, it feels like people are still talking about the market from three years ago. Still arguing about this now is really a bit outdated. Based on the on-chain data I've seen over the past three months, the growth curve of institutional holdings already tells the story very clearly.

This argument really belongs in the trash. Institutions are already on-chain, and people are still calling it criminal coins.
