I don't necessarily think we should separate applications from theory, but to be more crisp, I would probably say the facilitation of money laundering and funding of terrorist groups is something unethical.

Sure, not in general, but shaism was specifically asking for theory, and you replied to them without actually answering their question. And you still haven't.
> the facilitation of money laundering and funding of terrorist groups
...and this isn't unique to crypto, either, so it's unclear that it's relevant.
Would you be shocked to know that US dollars are used more for both money laundering and funding terrorism than cryptocurrencies? Should we outlaw US dollars due to facilitating unethical uses?

I dont think so because of the centralized oversight. Crypto is designed to avoid that oversight (but even fails at that much of the time).
Parent asked about ethics of crypto, the technology, in general. This comment isn't about the technology, but the applications, and doesn't answer their question.
