That's not the argument. The argument is that #Monero / #XMR essentially has no other use case except for crime to anyone with any common sense. 🤷♂️
Legality as a metric for measuring "goodness" is not something I subscribe to; plenty of bad things are legal & plenty of good things are illegal. #Bitcoin / #BTC is illegal in many places, but it is still inherently good. 💁♂️
However, some things are just objectively bad regardless of legal standing. I don't think fentanyl is good (whether legal or illegal) because it is objectively harmful. ☠️
The fact that such an overwhelming percentage of that network is used for crime simply illustrates that it has very little value outside of that functionality. 🤙
