It's complicated and dark, but: I'll know the stack of open-protocols/pseudonymity/private ecash/reputation systems are working properly when there are "illegal" activities being carried out on them. I say it's complicated because I am morally opposed to a lot of those activities, but I believe strongly that their existence "over there" will be proof that we've arrived at proper freedom tech that ALSO supports the "good people" and "good activities" I DO approve of and want to see more of. If nobody is trafficking guns and drugs, it's not free enough nor private enough. It's unfortunate that that's how neutral freedom tech works, but I don't make the rules.
