paying in crypto is nice partly for this reason
But a lot of uneducated people will spam "crypto is a scam"
Yes, doing illegal things secretly is a valid use case for crypto. So far, it's also the only one
What about donating money to people online without giving away your name and privacy? What about avoiding scams for P2P transactions? What about boycotting the banking system? What about avoiding international payment fees?
These all seem valid use cases to me
