> and launder it whenever

Again, there is no "LaunderBTCAndTurnIntoUSD" function in the Bitcoin protocol...

> get it out of the banking system into crypto

And please describe how you do so without involved A) banks who look the other way and B) registered companies who handle the on/off-ramping from/to BTC.

When people argue that it makes it so much easier to launder money, please spend at least a minute to actually figure out how that will work in practice, and you'll understand that Bitcoin makes the laundering HARDER than what it is with cash, not easier...
