I think there's a conflict here though:

>If what you're doing isn't likely to be censored by authorities then you're being incredibly wasteful by using blockchain

If the wasteful people doing non-crime activities on the blockchain weren't there it'd be incredibly easy for the authorities to crack down. In other words, if the only legitimate use cases of crypto is facilitating crime, it can only even achieve that goal as long as many people are using crypto for the other stuff you think is wasteful.
