Yes, money launderers and tax evaders would like to continue laundering and evading -- I think the real question is why are we making this easy for them?
Buying property with ill-gotten gains is an extremely common method of money laundering. Having a large hoard of cryptocurrency that you prefer not to liquidate screams "I'm trying to pretend that this isn't a taxable event."
We don't let people pay their mortgages with pre-tax stock gains, why the fuck are we bending over backwards to let people pay their mortgage with cryptocurrency?
