I'm just responding to the debate about whether cryptocurrency is useful beyond... itself. For the record I don't believe it should be banned broadly speaking.

I'm just responding to the debate about whether cryptocurrency is useful beyond... itself. For the record I don't believe it should be banned broadly speaking. Banning legal exchanges for proof of work cryptocurrencies is something I might be convinced is a good idea since PoW is a disaster, but I would not support banning non-PoW consensus cryptocurrencies. Get rid of PoW and a lot of the bad shit about cryptocurrency is gone. Yes you can still buy droogs with it, but most droogs are bought with cash anyway. Cryptocurrency is a small fraction of the droog market.
