>>IMHO, lack of anti-crime controls was one of Bitcoin's biggest early mistakes.

Elimination of privacy is not an "anti-crime control".

Much of cryptocurrency's value comes from the privacy it gives its users.

If you can work strong anti-crime controls into a digital currency while still maintaining privacy, I encourage you to do so. Otherwise, anything allowing secret movements of large sums of money will be hugely appealing to criminals, exactly as we saw with Bitcoin.
