I'm not sure I get the point. You mean international crypto flowing in to prop up a bad government? There was plenty of crypto going into Ukraine during the Maidan revolution and since from Russia; unless you believe there was more coming from America, I don't see how the form of money transfer would be a decisive factor. Many Argentines believe that in the 1940s it was Nazi gold transported by submarine that held up the Perón. Does that justify seizing gold from some family's safe deposit box halfway around the world?

> You mean international crypto flowing in to prop up a bad government? No. I mean laundering. That's what started this subthread. Using dirty money to get clean money, goods and services where otherwise it would be difficult to do in a sneaky untraceable way. I don't understand the analogy with Argentina and the point about crypto in Ukraine, feel free to explain, but only if it's not something orthogonal but an actual counter argument to me saying that whatever legitimate uses you see small people have for untraceable dark market of crypto dictators use it 1000x more perpetuating themselves and making the very same small people suffer more long term and corrupting the world.
