If you think BTC is NOT a scam then why are you here talking about it? I mentioned earlier there is no evidence anyone in the world can show you to make you see otherwise so why bother?

That was easy, now the answer;

My reason is to investigate a “hobby” or “financial investment” that is being promoted and looks shady. I ask about it, talk with some people about it and try to get all information as it appears to be very complex. If I can understand it’s not a scam, I could become rich too! If it’s a scam, a very complex one, it’s important to clearly show all red flags to others who are desperate and would understand it once they are stuck in it.

I assume, since you make money with it, you just want to promote it to make everyone in the world rich.

We both have our reasons and they are both very noble.

We ask in general, not specifically you, everyone is free to answer our questions and refute our objections.

And “the state” is the representation of the people, so it’s anti-social until it’s regulated.  
The laws are here to protect the weak (and strong alike).

It’s OK when the profits go to “All the people” instead of to 1% of the richest people who despise the “poor” and hate to share their taxes and try to come up with anti-social schemes.

With a world GDP of **US$78 trillion** in the same year, the illegal drug trade may be estimated as nearly 1% of total global trade. Doesn’t make it a good thing.

Those are completely legal and regulated, just like your crypto will be in a few years from now. Coffee is a legal drug, when I buy that drugs, I pay around 20% taxes to the government (which you distrust) so it can make hospitals, roads, … and we don’t depend on corporations to be good for their employees.
