    Oh I don’t disagree with your take on it on that front. What crypto is being used for and how it is being used is generally impractical. It does have legitimate uses. But as you said it’s generally not the ones that’s being used for.

      Generally criminal, more like. It’s good for money laundering and illicit payments, that’s about it.

      It does have legitimate uses.

      Citation needed.

        But yeah, it does allow for a lot of criminal transactions, as a side effect
