Drug prices don't dip when the government outlaws them. If anything, the need to outlaw crypto validates their utility.

Drugs have a purpose beyond trade, cryptocurrency doesn’t. Make it illegal to sell, and there’s no reason to buy it.

Make alcohol illegal to sell and there's no reason to buy it. Got it!

I see, my mistake. You are suggesting that trade outside of the purview of Governments has no utility. It must be a wonderful place where you live.
