and also Bitcoin as saved many lives, just look at the astonishing quantity of Bitcoins that have been given to charity.

"Probably the major cause of deaths in the world is the US Dollar"

How did you come to this conclusion? At least Bill Gates gave his reasoning for his statement.

Also: Whataboutism.

it's a conclusion of the exact same reasoning

With what the military complex is paid? With what are drugs bought and sold?

.... ....

If we follow Bill logic, the guns that are used in school shootings were bought using US dollars so the US dollar is responsible for the deaths.

I thought it was so self-evident that no explanation was needed.

You could still pay the military with any other currency, including crypto. You cannot buy drugs online or easily finance terrorism anonymously without cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency enables new illicit transactions and marketplaces.
