    Yes, banks are used for crimes on a massive scale. Usually that’s not available to small time people.

    Crypto can be used for criminal activity with a low barrier to entry. There are several use cases where things maybe should not be illegal in the first place. Like buying drugs for example.

      Banks too are available for crimes for “small time people” if you know what you are doing.

      The direction of this discussion is a red herring. My point was that beyond financial speculation and crime/fraud, crypto has no viable (not purely theoretical) use cases.
