That’s pretty much how authoritarian governments work. Surely you can’t have free internet because terrorists use it to communicate, surely we can’t have elections because criminals bribe the simple people to vote for them, surely you can’t trust outside media because it’s controlled by the evil Jews. You don’t want money that’s can’t be controlled by us, because criminals will use it.
Trust us. We know what’s good for you. The world is bad, and only us can fix it. /sarcasm

- jonathan-adly 5y agoNot at all. I said in an earlier response, no one cares if you hate or want to ban crypto, it’s permissionsless. It have been you taking the weird authoritarian take of “we must ban a tech because some bad people may use it”. Which is literally true in every technology ever invented.

If you're calling me an authoritarian for espousing views on why a particular technology that allows easy money laundering is bad, then I guess by a variation of Godwin's law, I win by default.
