> The end game for this is that people in the West (and whoever they can pressure) won't be able to buy crypto to buy drugs or sell it when selling drugs, making it useless on a big scale.

I agree with you on targeting the on- and off-ramps. But I think you got your use cases wrong.

Crypto has two major use cases these days:

- speculation (aka gambling)

- ransomware payments

Buying drugs is pretty far down the list. And so are pretty much all purchases of normal goods and services.
