Crypto can facilitate truly decentralized money, and although that hasn't truly happened yet, I would argue that is a feature. Does society want that and would government allow it? I don't know

I think until the reality of an actual, true, cashless society happens, Joe Averageconsumer isn't going to be interested in decentralized money.

When and if that happens is anyone's guess, though.

What is the benefit of decentralized money, other than it makes crime easier?

I haven't yet heard a solid general case for why decentralized currency would be an improvement over what we have now. It strikes me as a solution in search of a problem.
