To pretend romance / affinity scams and crime were created by crypto is absurd. It’s fair to argue crypto made crime more efficient, but it also made the responsible parties quicker to patch holes.

The primary use case of crypto is to protect wealth from a greedy, corrupt, money-printing state. Everything else is a sideshow

Apologies, I assumed you knew what cryptocurrency is and how it works. My bad.

I'm really not well suited to explain this stuff. Here's an article for a general (layperson) audience to help you on your journey. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-virtual-...
