If you need proof that cryptocurrencies are evil, here's Tim May, one
of the idiological grand-pappies of bitcoin writing about one possible use for cryptocurrency in the Cyphernomicon:

16.10.4. Will I be sad if anonymous methods allow untraceable markets for
assassinations? It depends. In many cases,
people deserve death--those who have escaped justice,
those who have broken solemn commitments, etc.
Gun grabbing politicians, for example should be killed out of hand.
Anonymous rodent removal services will be a tool of liberty.
The BATF agents who murdered Randy Weaver's wife and son should be shot.
If the courts won't do it, a market for hits will do it.
- (Imagine for a moment an "anonymous fund"
to collect the money for such a hit. Interesting possibilities.)
- "Crypto Star Chambers," or what might be called "digilantes,"
may be formed on-line, and untraceably,
to mete out justice to those let off on technicalities.
Not altogether a bad thing. end quote
If I believed in hell, I'd wish that Tim May was rotting in it.
