To be fair illegal is not the same as immoral. For example, cryptocurrencies can also be used to transfer money out of financial system controlled by oppressive regime which is largely a positive use. The problem is that "oppressive regime" is a matter of opinion and therefore these transfers are indistinguishable from tax evasion and other financial crimes. Techno-libertarians see that as a feature, I think most of the rest of us see that as a bug. There is no economic or technical solution there. It is almost exclusively an issue of personal politics.
