Before they ban crypto they need to ban gift cards which are the actually preferred method of payment via cyber crime!

Title outlines it all, I'm so sick and tired of governments and influencers trying to pin cyber crime onto crypto just because it's a digital currency.
You know what else is digital? Gift cards.
You know what most cyber crime is done through? Gift. Cards!
Not only crime but people also worry about companies launching their own "Amazon coin" that you can only use on their platform.
You know what else is a shitty 'this company only' method of payment? That's right, gift cards.
So why aren't governments trying to "protect us" from the evils of the Amazon $5 card? Why are they allowed to be sold everywhere? Surely they are the ultimate medium for cyber crime.
Oh because big companies pay the government a LOT of money and they want to sell their own consumer unethical 'not currency' as crappy presents and reap in huge year on year gains!
