I believe that cryptocurrencies only reached a critical mass to be relevant att all because of the value it delivers to criminals.

All that is ever discussed about cryptocurrencies at HN is marginal in comparison.

I think enthusiasts and speculators are actually a significant driver of the high prices. Criminals would much rather have a stable, quick Bitcoin than what we're seeing right now.
