You can buy things that are illegal in your jurisdiction.

Remember that the point if cryptocurrency is to enable finance in the absence of good government. It's useless if you like your government.

Nobody knows what the "point" of cryptocurrency is, and every enthusiast has a different opinion on that topic.

Yeah, that's exactly what the Church said about atheists.

"as an atheist what is the meaning of life? What is then the meaning of society? What is the meaning of ... ? "

It would be a lot simpler if we all simply served the commercial bankers, or perhaps the central bank or ... because then we wouldn't have to carry "the burden of having to ponder the meaning of our lives"

That's a very strange analogy. Honestly I'm not really sure what you're trying to say but your sarcastic quip about serving central bakers tells me all I need to know.

I can buy things that are illegal in my jurisdiction with my Chase card, and the USPS delivers it.
