I feel the same argument can be make about Tor. While it primary uses are probably illegal (doesn't necessary mean immoral) activity, it helps a lot free press in oppressed regimes (also illegal, but by western standards moral).

I very much doubt that. Its primary uses are probably porn and researching embarrassing medical conditions.

Bitcoin doesn't have the equivalent of a "free press."

And TOR is rarely used. Journalists use apps like Signal now.

Absolutely not. Internet censorship is growing rapidly - worldwide.

A lot of "legitimate" websites like newspapers get blocked around the world and can only be accessed over Tor.

In Russia a few independent newspapers were killed by arresting their bank accounts.

Signal does not let public fund jurnalists.
