Sure, but (like it or not) that's covered under the umbrella of "crime".
- munchler 5y agoIn that case, I think the point is that some "crime" is ethically justified and worth supporting technologically. The OP's statement implies that all crime is bad.
- webmaven 5y agoSure. But it is worth asking if this particular channel of support is worth enabling all the other forms of criminality that use cryptocurrencies.
- betwixthewires 5y agoYep, but all that means is that "crime" is a meaningless distinction itself.
