Despite all those warnings, the chain’s owner this year re-upped its deal with crypto ATM firm Bitcoin Depot. That arrangement pays Circle K rent, which can generate thousands in revenue at each store annually.

Money is the only language they know how to speak.

Crypto really does need to be outlawed. Just another way to prey on the elderly.
