It's especially big in crypto because the whole community has a conspiratorial "the System is against us" mindset, and if you can successfully tap into that and convince people "I was targeted by The Man, man" all your crimes can be washed away.
And:
At shells.com, his personal cloud computing platform, he’s quietly developing an unreleased AI agent system that hands artificial intelligence full control over a virtual machine: installing software, managing emails, and even handling purchases with a planned credit card integration. “What I’m doing with shells is giving AI a whole computer and free rein on the computer”, a brilliant idea, really. AI agents on steroids.
Like managing other people's crypto, it seems like an idea that could actually blow up your face.

When I was a kid I walked into a bank, opened an account with no ID and no parent permission, and that was that (I encouraged a friend to do it as well, their overbearing dad raged at the bank after he found out but even then it wasn't closed). Can't imagine that's even possible anymore.
Of course it wasn't that long ago there were bearer shares. You could just hand a kid a physical piece of paper, and that was that, they owned part of the company. Bearer shares were another thing eliminated after the FATF went on their sadistic attack on privacy and self custody of many forms of financial instruments, eliminating one of the easiest ways for kids to handle investments directly in their hands.

Keep the Bitcoin. The pot you'll buy with all 10 of them is mostly seeds and stems.
