How does that apply to someone using it to pay for VPN service? Who cares what other people are using it for.

Also, many of those "criminals" are using it to buy shit like HRT because they can't get it where they live. Some others just want to get cheap cannabis gummies in states where it's already legal.

You shouldn't paint with such a broad brush.

USD is just as private, unless you're tracking serial numbers on bills, and even then... It would be like saying you don't use cash because it's used by criminals. Makes no sense.

If buying HRT and using it is illegal where you live, don't do that, even using monero or other closed (closeness is the oposite of openness and is more neutral term than privacy) money.

Imagine living in 2026 and thinking that legality = morality.

I wonder if you'd have said the same thing if I said people were using it to buy insulin.

Thinking it's ok to deny people the medication that they need because they need to use a privacy coin to buy it? Nice.

I'm just going to skip over the part where you call people criminals for being concerned about privacy. Ostensibly that means you're against VPNs in general then, right? Want to try to defend that one?

Boot licking loser.
