This is such a regressive mindset.

Why not ban the encryption while we’re at it?

Instead of bashing it, how about we come up with solutions to the problems?

Encryption has shown itself to have innumerable good uses. What legitimate utility has crypto currency provided?

Boy do y'all come off as entitled and privileged. I know people in Third World countries with no access to international bank accounts that were only able to buy stuff online thanks to Bitcoin.

Just because you don't see a utility for it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
