Any Currency enables crime.

in fact I'd go as far as to say that it's a driving force for Crime...

"If it can't be used for evil, it isn't a super power"

(emphasis mine)

I'm honestly surprised by that. (Especially after it's seems to be the go-to method of payment for ransomware which should lead to huge amounts of illegal activity.)

Could you link some sources?

Currency definitely enables crime. There are a few reasons why institutions (government, banks) are crazy about digital currency: auditing (taxes, crime), fees, negative interest rates.

We are in the process of delegitimizing cars, weapons are already taboo and illegal in liberal cities, Congress keeps trying to open phones to law enforcement, HN is enamored of European-style privacy laws that make it an onerous legal liability to have the capability for audio recording (or any other data collection), and drones were heavily curtailed by the FAA with widespread public support.

We already have currency, and it works much better than any cryptocurrency. The specific problem cryptocurrency solves is vulnerability to law enforcement (i.e. central control).

I would also be concerned if someone started selling weapons whose defining feature was their resistance to homicide investigators.
