I'm actually not anti-crypto (anti-cryptobro, maybe). I'm anti-surveillance-state and I find it very strange that someone wouldn't recognize the obvious similar argument that monero would be enabling unpunished crime.

Monero is money. It is a tool for freedom. I don’t like fraud. As a libertarian I am fine with private businesses doing whatever they need to in order to prevent their property being stolen. Free citizens don’t have to shop there. It’s especially egregious considering the businesses are forced to pay taxes, and police are part of the services they pay for, but the state refuses to help them.

Theft is wrong, period
