> if you’re not the audience for that use case then that has nothing to do with anyone else

You just described evading laws governing money transfers again using a lot more words.

Everyone gets it. Crypto is useful for evading laws.

However saying that breaking the law has nothing to do with anyone else isn’t real compelling as an argument.

You keep going from the benign circumventing as a matter of convenience, to the hyperbolic evading

But alright. In a stacked bar chart of why people use it and demand block space, that is one of many use case and user story. Its not an argument it’s a fact of life. Any single person with a single use case validates the entire thing, because their use case is valid

You’re still looking for arguments and that isn’t the point. Its not about selling you, you heard an irrelevant person mention “mainstream adoption” or merchant adoption and thought they were for real, all while getting scammed by them. Lots of people have exposure like that just like lots of people fall for scams and phishing campaigns on the general internet. It has nothing to do with what else is going on.

Its not about selling you, People are already in crypto and prefer that method.

> Capital follows the path of least resistance.

Huh? Capital doesn't have agency.

People either follow laws or break them.

The argument against crypto is that it's primarily a tool for breaking the law.

Which, you know, is fine for you if you don't care, but that's a pretty relevant point.
