First, by writing “just one person’s cash”, it is automatic to infer you consider this representative. I assert that it is not, and furthermore that if it were even close then the criminal economy would vastly exceed the non-criminal one.

Second, look at the date on that and tell me, with a straight face, that they didn’t use any cryptocurrencies. If they really did have $22bn, perhaps even if they only had $22m, I expected they used a dozen forms of currency they couldn’t even name.

I am not the one claiming one is worse than the other. You are.

[ben_w]

I am not saying “worse”, I am saying “superset”. On the basis that all crimes that can occur with cash have an equivalent that can happen with cryptocurrencies but not vice versa — you cannot force someon else’s computer to forge coins for you, and high-value transactions have rules against cash in places that don’t have rules against cryptocurrencies.

I do not understand how you consider you response to be relevant, however.

[ThomPete]

I do not understand your question.

Cash and crypto can be used for more or less the same number of crimes. That was my original point.

Furthermore cash is defacto being used for more crimes every day as most criminals are using cash not crypto.
