In some cases, I find it sympathetic. For example, I don't think it's a clear cut moral resolution that people should exclude Iran from buying US goods and services, but they are on the sanctioned list. I supported Obama dropping sanctions on Iran back when he was president.

There's a difference between what is legal and what is moral. For what is moral, there are hardly any absolute answers.

Sure. But crypto is an inefficient way to express that policy preference. And it's difficult to comport claims of altruistic intent with crypto's financial incentives.
