The other side of this coin is all the companies and infrastructure that has popped up, which intentionally or not enables the laundering of ill-gotten cryptocurrency [1].

I have a hard time feeling sympathy here because I consider cryptocurrency to be fundamentally silly. Reversible transactions of fiat currency transactions is a feature not a bug.

I feel like securing something like this is practically impossible. There's always the risk of a bad actor who introduces malware for a small fee.
