Okay, you got me there. I’ll admit that’s a pretty good use for cryptocurrencies

crypto currency is actually very useful when you need to buy meds that states dont want you to have. i dont know if blockchain is the best way to implement decentralized currencies (proof of work blockchain definitely isnt) but its what we got rn

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

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?

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.

That’s wrong, any illegally obtained controlled substance should be bought with cash or with a temporary anonymous card available online.
The blockchain is a multiple ledger transaction record, you’re just leaving multiple trails directly to you when you buy things with it.
