Crypto currencies are agnostic to geography.

While I agree with your basic premise, I think there is some room for debate.

Firstly, regions/geography with cheap power and/or natural cooling are at a clear advantage with respect to payment for proof of work.

Secondly, regions where black markets thrive are at a clear advantage with respect to use and potential liquidity.

(imho)

Their users aren't agnostic to laws, and laws are determined by geography.
