Actually, that is a pretty good endorsement because if it can be used to commit crime, then that means that it remains private, which is why the government wants it off of exchanges so people can't easily get it. If they wanted to prevent crime, they would outlaw the US dollar first.

Facilitating ransomware is good actually, is quite the take. But yeah this is a 'we dislike all cryptocurrencies' zone.

Lol. I don't particularly like ransomware, but I am willing to deal with it to have privacy. Because the privacy to run ransomware gives regular people the privacy to do what they want to do that's perfectly legal. Take an extreme example. Forks should be banned because you can stab people with them. Maybe five people die per year of being stabbed by forks, but hundreds of millions of people eat with them and never stab anybody, so they should all be banned.

That's why you put a cork on the end of the fork, for safety. Rubrect put a cork on fork, may I got to the bathroom? [short YouTube link]
