https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/illicit "In any case, illicit may be used of behavior that is either unlawful or immoral."

Putting carbon into the atmosphere (to the detriment of unborn people) in order to circumvent the laws of society and intentionally create a speculative bubble meant to pray on the unsophisticated investors and rob them of wealth is the definition of immoral behavior. Cryptocurrency was designed to disrupt laws (and has been used, see selling drugs on crypto, ransomware), so it must also be considered unlawful.
