the painful accuracy.
Do I have to have a favorite?
disappointed that fake money for criminals is leading. That's not a new thing, we already had that with the existing money.
The other three are at least, ahem, innovative.
"Well actually all money is fake money" is not the insight that you think it is. For example, the ransomware industry only exists at scale because cryptocurrency makes it practical.

At first, I thought the filled-in bars showed letters that were typed, and the rest was the auto-complete. As in, typing "illegal" would auto-fill the most commonly-exploited grift.
Iâm surprised that âUnpatchable Internet Enabled Device that Attracts Malware and Will Become a Brick as Soon as Manufacturer Ceases Support of Necessary Backend Serverâ didnât make the list, but maybe just because it is too verbose.
I had these two candidates that didn't reach the shortlist:
