I think this is what GP was trying to get at, in response to GGP's claim about all crypto being directly tied to tumblers and illegal activity.

It wasn't confusing to me, but evidently the way it was worded confused others.

It's confusing because there's no logical point to it nor does it follow along as a regular conversation.

"Some cash has cocaine on it" has no logical relationship to "all cryptocurreny use is illegitimate".

If they wanted to refute the original claim and say that cryptocurrency has legitimate uses or if they wanted to make a separate point to say that cash is similarly only useful to criminals, they failed.
