Well in almost every other circumstance, you’re forgetting Uber and Airbnb.
Now about that fake money for criminals - it was quite useful for me when I needed to send money to my sister, with me being in Russia and her being outside, and it was year 2022. Also with the way ruble sank after the war, buying BTC hours after seeing news of it starting was probably a bargain. Would be twice as expensive the next day.
I haven't used Uber (Yandex Taxi) and Airbnb (asocial type and have responsibilities), and I agree about the plagiarism machine.
So you didn't do the crime, but your home country did, and you could use crypto to make life easier despite the repercussions. I'd say it's not a bad fit.
Nah. Arbitrary shit that doesn't hurt those who did the crime, but does hurt me, is not repercussions. Neither is it a crime to find tools to solve such problems.
