It is well known fact that 90% of all paper fiat money is laced with cocaine and other type of illegal drugs and narcotics, so how does it make you feel that you're getting paid with the commissions from the drug dealers, junkies and criminals?
@suchmoon should I correct him or you want to do the honors?
I don't think the term "laced" is accurate, but if you replace the term "laced" with "contain trace amounts of" I would agree with the statement, based on this
article and other information.
The fact is that hard currency (aka physical dollars) are frequently used for illicit purposes. Unlike bitcoin moving through CM, or any other mixer, it is very difficult to track dollars, especially if they never end up in the banking system. When I receive dollars from someone, although I don't think the dollars are the proceeds of some illegal activity, I really have no way of verifying this. Also, unless a dollar I receive is brand new, or nearly brand new, there is a high probability it was used for some illicit purpose between the time it was printed and when I received it.
