>the dire externalities that are enabled by crypto. Every single crime you can think of, is easier to do now because of crypto.
replace crypto with railroad in the 19th century. Or even just Internet in the 90-ies. Or AI in 20 years.
Those technologies offered actual utility, that's the difference.
Money also offers utility. Money that you can't transfer because the government thinks you're a drug mule does not. Crypto allows you to transfer money, even if the government thinks you're a drug mule.
