    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.
