False statement % per user base ? Chance the amount to present day. Now look at the active number of crypto users.
And yes, it's world wide. I have to correct that. Well, ok then, we would have to measure the amount of money lost to frauds in USD...just to be fair And by the way: using a 2012 statistic? If that's how you do research, I hope you don't trade. https://shiftprocessing.com/credit-card-fraud-statistics/
Happens... Toxic. Did you read yourself : ,, The United States leads as the most credit fraud prone country with 38.6% of reported card fraud losses in 2018 '' Where do you see % of user base from +1 Bil world wide ? Anyway, it's not the first time that you share foolish statement, without giving it a second thought : (or even worse, if you did that on intention, that would make you liar, also, biased thinking, might have clouded your judgment, when it comes to crypto) https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...rgentina-before-the-coun.335724/#post-4922085 thus, i have put you on ignore (you're toxic as well), later by midnight, just want to see your last reply. (in case you write any) Not a permanent tho, only for 2020, because people change & in general, most are good in heart.

what kind of reply is that ?? You don't make any point here, except that I'm "toxic" and that you will put me on ignore. WP peasant Consider yourself on ignore...but forever, since you just post BS that proofs your opinion and people don't change
Terrible statistics if we take into account the fact that now there are crypto wallets and people have started to actively store their savings in cryptocurrency. On the one hand, people avoid attention from banks and can keep their income or part of it relatively secret. But on the other hand, they are not insured in any way, especially since Bitcoin is not tracked in any way and it is difficult to control it in the market. And this is the official statistics. What are the real figures? To be honest, I am even a little shocked. This is simply impossible to believe. I will have to tell my friends to be more careful. Because such losses can hurt anyone.
Hmnn day later, after the debate with Mrpuppet, reading a book ,,Invisible Markets" ( hackers, scams, etc ) Qoute : ,, In ten years, since 1997, the amount of credit cards in the world, went from 1.5 Bil to 3 Bil" (ofc user might have multiple cards) Now that was 10 years ago... Not to open the old wounds, just a disclaimer of how foolish, the comparison of Persona Non Grata was. Tho he must have a really high level of skill, in some area, all of the likes - one has. (in ET, there is some of correlation, between those two)
