That has to be the most plausible theory, no? Just using crypto the same way they've used drug dealing or gun running?

    Actually they auction it off. There have been several instances of the US government auctioning off huge quantities of seized bitcoin.

      That seems really weird, why would you auction something with a set known value? they might as well just be auctioning off seized suitcases full of cash.

        Liquidity. It's hard to move a huge sum of bitcoin. Or at least it was when all those dark markets got raided.

    I’ve been saying this for like three years, and people keep telling me it’s bullshit… but who the fuck stands to benefit the most from crypto currency? The dude who invented it probably has a us government pension now
