Money is power. The more relative power criminals will have over honest people – the more awful this world will be. The world should give power to public creators instead, not to hidden speculators, drug dealers, etc.

The argument that criminals also use ordinary money doesn't work here. Crypto was adopted by them at first, e.g. look at Silk Road, or billion volume hacks of exchanges. If BTC will grow then their relative power will grow.

And you could use this exact argument against the Turkish government banning crypto to protect its own exploitative currency scheme..
