Except the only use it has for "law abiding citizens" is specilation.

While banning cryptocurrencies won't eliminate it, it would make it much less attractive for fraud, extortion and money laundering.

The war on drugs turned otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals. A ban on crypto wouldn't have the same effect nor would it have the effect of driving a behavior that should be treated as a mental health issue underground.

I am not sure a ban is the best solution, I am open to alternatives.
