Backed stablecoins aren't some anarchistic anti-government thing; they are highly regulated and will lose access to their banking if they don't follow the rules – rules which require them to freeze coins in cases of crime.

If you want to show a middle finger to government there are cryptocurrencies for that, but USD stablecoins with centralized backing is not it.
