I don’t disagree. How does crypto solve that? It doesn’t. It’s just as harmful. Perfection doesn’t exist, only the continual efforts towards an ideal.

Edit: (HN throttling), reply to below comment.

I agree that there are niche use cases where crypto is bridging a gap for the disenfranchised (sex workers in this example) until policy catches up, but that it’s unsustainable to extrapolate that out as a call for wide adoption of crypto by the masses.

Crypto (not Bitcoin or Ethereum, Zcash) gives everyone the same privacy rich people enjoy, leveling the playing field.

I think crypto has a bunch of other problems, but I consider (for example) sex workers being able to transact online an unalloyed good.
