That virtually all ends up in the spam folder. Neither half the revenue generated nor half of the utility people extract from it is criminal. I don't know a single person who has used Monero to conduct non-criminal business.

That's the point, its private by design and unless they tell you, nobody will ever know how much they use and for what. The true hacker spirit.

If you bother to look past news headlines you will find a vibrant community of people paying for legal goods that value privacy before FUD and ignorance.

This kind of fearmongering is already leading us towards a cashless society because "only criminals use it". This is hackernews and not facebook or congress so it should be obvious to everybody here what the end result of criminalizing/demonizing non KYC payments will be (hint: look at china).
