    Yes, sometimes it is good to evade the law, because the law might be immoral, for one reason or another, and ranging in severity from not being able to buy weed that helps you, to not being able to flee from a country that might kill you

    So there is some legit and morally acceptable use-cases for crypto, but still, it’s not much

      I agree that it’s not much. That was my attempt at steel manning crypto’s use case. The single one I know of that makes even a little sense. 99% of it is bullshit.

        with Monero there’s also the use case of just, paying for things. it’s like cash but digital because it can’t be tracked. The issue with Monero is that it uses a lot of energy per transaction, a lot less than Bitcoin but still a lot. This would go down if more people adopt it tho iirc
