fiat currency is being used to by drugs as well...

Is there no better measure for the utility of a currency than people actually using it to trade for things?

Now I start to wonder, when people first shifted from barter to currency, who were the early adopters? were they also criminals?

By the way I have no opinion about crypto one way or another. If it succeeds, cool. If it doesn't, cool.
