No use case? Isn't it extremely useful for money laundering, organized crime fund storage and other criminal uses where cash was previously used?

I work in the legal cannabis industry and the only legit use of crypto I know of is for transactions for otherwise cash-only dispensaries.
"use cases that benefit society".

I've also written extensively on HN on how the only use cases for crypto right now is money laundering, easily creating scams, ponzis, rug pulls, and unregistered securities. These use cases do not benefit society.

Only due to current underregulation. Once those regulations come, those use cases will be more expensive than alternatives also.
