Assuming most people that use cryptoassets are criminals is not very nice. The media loves to talk about criminals using it, as though criminals do not use every other asset class as well. I buy all sorts of things. To name a few.... Cloud servers, VPN subscriptions, hardware security modules, random number generators, mechanical puzzles, anonymous donations to charities, payments to/ from friends for splitting checks at dinner, coffee from Backyard Coffee in Palo Alto, beer from a bar in Germany, a usb battery at a electronics store in Japan. Friend of mine even uses it to buy sex toys online with reasonably good privacy. Everything I have ever purchased with cryptoassets is legal and the same is true as far as I know of all the many friends I have that make regular use of them as well. Some of us actually believe in centralized finance without central government control, and others just like to buy things or move value around without fees or having their purchase history sold.
