cash benefits money launderers as well. What kind of argument is this even? I guess the government should just be able to track all your transactions all the time? Reminder that the government that is in power at the time in a given country decides what is and isn’t “illegal”.

We all have different priorities, I guess. You might be okay with aiding American money launderers, but draw the line at anything that might have touched Israel.

    To play to your interests: I’m sure Monero has been instrumental in plenty of direct, Israeli money laundering too.
    
    And if that’s not enough, cryptocurrency broadly is beloved by many venture capitalists and private equity ghouls. It doesn’t need evangelism, which only benefits its investors
    
    Regarding Matrix: it’s like you’re applying the “One Drop” rule. To address misinfo in two places:
    
    Amdocs was divested from Israeli private ownership since the 80s, funded by Bell, and headquartered in Missouri for decades before Matrix began development, Matrix’s team split off entirely a couple years later, and they’re in the UK: they’re a descendant of a diaspora company.
