I'm surprised Musk doesn't just order the counter to be manipulated directly on the database. Who is going to check?

It's not like it is a lottery overseen by a commission that verifies it is being conducted fairly.

Or maybe Musk deliberately wanted the Twitter using public to feel they were in control and he wanted to leave the CEO position the whole time.

Still full of bad actors though...

It's not nearly as opaque as cash. You're far better off stuffing €500 notes (yes, they exist) into a walking cane if you don't want to be traced. In fact:

> The note is being phased out due to concerns of widespread use for illegal purposes. Most printing of new €500 notes ceased in 2019, although existing notes will remain legal tender until further notice.

What crypto is good for is being stolen. Silly people store digital wallets on insecure storage, even sillier people let other people "hold" their digital assets. And that is easily taken from the safety of a living room chair on the other side of the planet.

A country can pretend it owns the whole world when it comes to applying their laws.

The question is whether that country will willingly hand over that individual to the accusing country.

That's assuming, of course, that the individual isn't silly or unwitting enough to actually travel to that country to be captured...
