There aren't that many uses for blockchains (2022)
Assuming full regulation is possible, would crypto still be useful? It seems a very large portion of its utility is in its semi-unregulated nature.

I would have agreed, but the US BTC ETF success shows that people care about the asset of BTC divorced from the promise of lack of regulation.

Or is the US BTC ETF just a convenient way to speculate on the rising value of BTC, when the rising value is driven by the illicit activity happening elsewhere?
