People in general are detrimental to society, regardless of what currency we are using. Your argument is pretty weak considering conventional currency has been used for illegal and immoral activities since it was a thing, and even before that there were illegal trade in goods and services. All your examples in your arguments have been around long before cryptocurrency, with the exception of ransomware, which still was around prior to bitcoin, but i will grant you is much easier now. Nothing new really except a new payment method. It all comes down to the fact that there is a percentage of people out there that are not "good" people, with the definition of "good" relative to your perception of the situation. this will always be the case, regardless of technology. Cryptocurrency problems, are just a symptom of a greater problem which is human nature...which you cannot change.

Please state the benefits of cryptocurrencies. Nobody here seems to be able to answer this question without resorting to crazy jargon.

Well you haven't really state any benefit of traditional currency either....it can be given, taken, lost, stolen...and given the current world situation it is certainly not stable. Cryptocurrency has every benefit of normal currency for the user, less beneficial for law enforcement and governmental control, but control is not always a good thing either. Your talking about a currency....why does it have to perform something magical for it to be "good"
