Yeah but you can outlaw specific uses of it. Not saying I agree with it but crypto can definitely be made illegal.

  Getting rid of exchanges would absolutely destroy the value of crypto.

    Exchanges and lending/borrowing markets have already moved to be decentralized. I think what you're thinking is the ability to convert fiat to crypto. If you got rid of that, it would just move more underground and into the black money markets.

  Should we also ban private communication too? To be clear, we don't get to choose which parts of math we ban and which parts we don't.

    We most certainly do get to choose if we want to. Why not ?

      Because it doesn't work out like you think it would. Those of us who have been on the internet a long time remember pre-1999 days. Banning or preventing people from using math only empowers other countries that develop it on their own. https://www.csis.org/analysis/end-export-controls https://www.csis.org/analysis/end-export-controls

    I'm sure the anti-crypto crowd would like nothing better.
