> Greater fools scheme [sic] is a valid criticism

Did you mean greater fool theory? That's not a financial scheme that's listed under Stripe's ToS (our context).

Are you arguing in good faith that Stripe should update the Prohibited Businesses section of their ToS based on what you said?

> isn't a pyramid scheme

BitConnect was an actual Ponzi scheme. I don't see how buying my coffee with DOGE counts as a "predatory investment opportunity."

Has anything else changed since the early 90s that might make ransomware more profitable today than 30 years ago?

Cryptolocker is estimated to have "only" cost its victims millions. However, cryptocurrency already existed when it was released.

And ransomware was making a LOT of money before crypto, so we can't blame crypto for it. Magnitude matters.
