Any idea can be exaggerated out of sanity bounds. If you do not see the difference between the incentives and criminalizing/punishment this is your own problem.

I think cryptocurrency should be banned. It's provided zero actual value, it's only uses are crime and as a speculative asset. Oh, and as a vehicle for poor Venezuelans to avoid inflation, can't forget about that fantasy.

You forgot about Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Lebanon, Asia?, etc
The people living there deserve to lose half their money every 2-5 years

If anything screams first-world privilege, it's cryptocurrencies. Guess who owns 99.9999% of all crypto? The West.
