It always puzzles me when people point out that cryptocurrencies are used for illegal activities.

Cyptocurrencies were not designed to facilitate illegal activities. Yet every fuddite makes it seem so.

Every single fiat currency in the world is/can be used for illegal activities. Do we discard them? Care to wager which currency, USD or BTC; is used more for illegal activities? No, I didn't think you would. But media and fudders will repeatedly point out that it's cryptos that are used to transact illegal things.
