How do you suggest we do this in practice? Decent countries already make it illegal to buy cryptocurrency for real money, but it's difficult to enforce when it's a mutually profitable transaction for somewhat desperate people (just as in many cases paying a ransom to a kidnapper is illegal, but that doesn't completely stop it happening).
