    To put it another way: Crypto is great for crime. Like I get that criminalizing stuff like HRT is bullshit, but…

      It’s really not. Most crypto is easily traceable, in fact, the whole point of blockchain is to be publicly traceable.

      You know what’s better for crime? Cash.

      If you use crypto, you have to launder it to obfuscate the transaction. If you use cash, you don’t.

        Do crime? But what if I wanted to be President of the United States one day, surely there is some rule about having a criminal record?

            And close to half the country won’t care about a lifetime of crimes if you tell them you’ll hurt the right people.
