There is little to no lawful utility.

The value of crypto has always been in its ability to take the power to control the financial freedom of individuals away from government and put it back in the hands of people.

Whether you agree that is a good thing or not, depends on your political views towards authoritarian governments.

The value of crypto has always been some fringe act of futile civil disobedience? Yikes

>fringe

>futile

How did these words get there?

Just observation

They aren't supported by the comment you responded to.

IOW, you showed your hand.

My "hand" is expressing that nobody has successfully been able to explain the lawful utility of crypto. Whatever you're doing now is certainly no exception. It's not my fault that you can't explain, but you simultaneously have strong feelings about it.

Your "hand" is revealing your preconceived conclusions after posing as someone open to learning more.

Can you explain the lawful utility of crypto?

Why are you so stuck on whether the utility is "lawful"? Is the law really your barometer of what is valuable and just?

Because most normal people are law abiding, not fringe crypto activist weirdos

THIS man. Even if there's not presently a visible one-to-one correlation, this is the EXACT sort of sketch language used against efforts like, e.g. the Civil Rights Movement.
