Indeed they do, whether its weed or crypto, it's only legal if they can make money off it and waste it in the govt coffers / lining their pockets....bunch of dirty leeches...just a mafia really. It pisses me off that we have to take our hard earned money, get taxed on it and then with what little is left after paying bills, property tax etc you do your research and invest, and if you win they take their cut, if you lose it's your problem...capital gains losses have a $3000/year deduction limit, which is such a joke (And of course there's no limit on your gains being taxed, sure, sounds fair). The system is rigged, must be nice having a no-lose business
