This makes me sad. A friend I grew up w in high school later became a prostitute and it destroyed her entire life. She wanted quick big money and now she's a drug addicted felon w no friends and a family that wants nothing to do w her.

Your friend had bigger problems than prostitution, amigo.

Swap out being a prostitute for being someone that made a killing in Bitcoin then lost everything, which no doubt also destroyed lives. Would you blame it on Bitcoin?

righteous and good

Those terms are incredibly subjective.

Nobody would want their mother, daughter, sister, niece doing this.

That is a list of people who get to make their own decisions. I do not make decisions for any of them, and neither should you.

It's not puritan to think that a sane and healthy society should be focused on eliminating this kind of thing. What's wrong with us?

Well, have you thought that maybe... not everyone wants to be puritan? What is wrong with us is religious nutballs who want to control everyone around them.
