>Yes, it's clear you don't know what a refutation is. "B is also Y" does not falsify "A is Y".
linguistic descriptivism to the rescue!

>2. (transitive, proscribed) To deny the truth or correctness of (something).
>Usage notes
>The second meaning of refute (“to deny the truth of”) is proscribed as erroneous by some (compare Merriam Webster,1994). An alternative term with such a meaning is repudiate, which means to reject or refuse to acknowledge, but without the implication of justification. However, this distinction does not exist in the original Latin refūtō (“oppose, resist, rebut”), which can apply to both senses.
That said, I'll concede that it's not strictly not a refutation, because I don't think it's ultimately relevant to the conversation.
>The problem is that crypto advocates will spend all day bending your ear about how crypto is necessary for the good of humanity, and then as soon as you point out any of the bad shit happening, claim no honorable intentions were ever claimed, the existing system sucks anyway, get over it, buy my token loser.
I don't understand what your point here is. Are you claiming that Jump Trading or their leadership engages in the behavior that you mentioned? Or are you simply noting that there's crypto companies/people doing shady stuff?
