> It's still highly useful for buying illegal drugs, and for money laundering.

Yeah, 'highly useful' enough for the authorities and for everyone to see all the transactions on a public ledger to track down who paid for what and to identify anyone who attempts to convert the BTC to fiat as soon as it hits the exchange.

Totally useful for criminals and hackers. /s Especially when they are getting caught all the time by the authorities when they use Bitcoin.
