Lmao are you serious? Source is 15 years of buying drugs. The illegal drug dealers only took cash, and now that buying drugs is legal, the legal dealers only take cash too. They have an ATM in their shop, but that's because they only take cash.

I guess you never buy drugs IRL, if you really want a source for "drug dealers only take cash". What's next, wanting a source for "water is wet"?

> Also, did you just forget we were (and we are) in a pandemic that started a year ago, forcing almost every person in lockdown?

Guess who stayed open the entire time? The drug dealers. They were excluded from lockdowns due to ostensibly being essential businesses who sold "medicine". And guess what, the entire time they have only accepted cash.

I suspect that's more about the weird 'state-legal/federal-illegal' hybrid situation. Banks with federal charters can't touch the industry, so it mostly runs on cash.

Two weeks after we get Federal legalization, someone's going to offer a rewards Visa with 4.20x points for cannabis purchases. You heard it here first.

> Lmao are you serious? Source is 15 years of buying drugs...

So the source is you then? If so, that is an anecdote and that isn't a reputable source, try again.

> The illegal drug dealers only took cash, and now that buying drugs is legal, the legal dealers only take cash too. They have an ATM in their shop, but that's because they only take cash.

So you are saying that cryptocurrencies was never an option for these people at all? If it was legal bank transfer or credit cards would be just fine.

Would be nice if you provide sources for your claims to these.

> Guess who stayed open the entire time? The drug dealers. They were excluded from lockdowns due to ostensibly being essential businesses who sold "medicine". And guess what, the entire time they have only accepted cash.

Again, do you have any reputable sources for these claims?

Burden is on you to provide proof.

I promise you that drug dealers only accept cash.

Maybe a few zoomer ones accept Venmo, but that is functionally equivalent.

What is your definition of a reputable source then?

You have four different people saying the same thing and still you ask for a 'source'.
