RE: One of the loudest arguments against cryptocurrency adoption is probably its weakest...
The "because criminals/terrorists use it" argument is always a weak one. Should we ban online ads and bots because criminals commit click fraud with that combination? Or what about when terrorists capture oil fields - should oil be banned? But yes, I often use the most direct counter you highlighted, which is that legal currency funds way more illegal activity.
Plenty of wars being fought in the name of religion, we should make them illigal and make the world a better place, makes much more sense than banning bitcoin becouse a few drug dealers use it.
