Yes.
Pay for VPN and other services, transfer money to other people that I can't reach with fiat, and keep a stash.
Fair enough, I digressed.
Though between our countries, no law prohibits me to send crypto to each other, so here it is not criminal activity. Operating such transactions in fiat is what falls under scrutiny.
Well then I'll be a criminal for caring about my close ones.
Most crypto is not associated with criminal activity.
I literally only buy crypto for utility.
The only common private immutable money?
Blockchain has more utility than crypto, but keeping focused on the latter, crypto may allow for anonymous (pseudonymous) transactions* that are also immutable, which can preserve your privacy and also allow you to financially support whoever government doesn't want you to support - be it protesters, or your relatives in sanctioned jurisdictions, or, say, Ukrainian army if you are Russian**, or whatever.
It also gives you Internet money you're in full control of - no one can freeze or seize your assets***.
*This does not apply if you use open ledger cryptocurrency and bought it from a traceable source, especially an exchange that requires KYC
**I am Russian, and I do not transfer money to Ukraine. Rest assured, dear FSB agent. But many people do, and they should be protected
***Assuming you use a trusted non-custodial wallet and adhere to basic DeFi hygiene if you use it. Also, sometimes, like when you do crime, inability to freeze your assets is bad. But I did happen to be in a situation when all my bank accounts were wrongfully arrested, and it took me 3 weeks to make my appeal approved by the court to restore access to my own money. Makes sense for me now to keep some money in cash and crypto.
Define enabling crime.
Is payment for private VPN enabling crime? Is sending money to and from relatives in sanctioned jurisdictions enabling crime? Is supporting opposition leaders enabling crime?
Crypto absolutely does have utility, but it's not currency of the future.
People going against all crypto lack nuance, and people promoting crypto as solution to all problems are either naive or deceptive.
I was under the impression IceWeasel changed to IceCat.
And, honestly, from all I could remember, the default protections are so strong a good half of sites doesn't even work properly lol
Typical GNU maximalism.
(But yeah - it really blocks all the bad stuff and doesn't do anything you don't ask it to do, not even call for updates by default)
