    TBH I feel like it’s much harder for anti-crypto ideologues to admit that crypto has non-scam usages. Or to admit that fiat currency is a scam so huge that it’s literally destroying the planet.

      to be fair, buying drugs or untraceable money transfers are totally a use case of crypto (basically everything that is illegal)

        untraceable money transfers

        Crypto is very traceable though - every transaction that has ever happened is in a public ledger!

        There’s usually a transfer to or from fiat currency at some point, and there’s been several cases where Bitcoin transfers have been traced to a real person using that.
