With what the military complex is paid? With what are drugs bought and sold?

.... ....

If we follow Bill logic, the guns that are used in school shootings were bought using US dollars so the US dollar is responsible for the deaths.

I thought it was so self-evident that no explanation was needed.

You could still pay the military with any other currency, including crypto. You cannot buy drugs online or easily finance terrorism anonymously without cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency enables new illicit transactions and marketplaces.
