Crypto is the only way I can pay for VPN without disclosing my identity. Also it's the only way I can move money abroad without getting a special permission from my country's central bank (except physically flying with max $10k cash). Ah, and also there is a war in my country that may escalate any time, but thanks to cryptocurrencies I can run away with empty pockets and still access my money from anywhere in the world.



The black market exists for a reason and I don't want to take it away from you but that doesn't mean the entire world is going to adopt the black market.

Heard of bitcoin?


bitcoin is way less private than cash.
