It's great for buying drugs though! (Which is funnily the only actually legitimate usecase)

And sending donations to causes the government doesn't endorse.

A good example was the truck manifestation in Canada a few years ago, they went after all the donors for what was a legitimate protest. Anyone using bank transfers or any crypto that wasn't Monero was persecuted.

Those who used Monero had their privacy assured and zero issues.

		I'm not sure that I'd cite being able to donate to terrorists as a legitimate use case. I mean, at the protocol level, donating to a terrorist is the same as donating to anyone else, so a system that lets you donate to anyone will necessarily let you donate to terrorists, but it wouldn't be the example I'd bring up in polite conversation.

I've bought legal things with Monero a while back when I was into "crypto". I've never bought illegal things with Monero (or any other currency/cryptocurrency).

I was interested in Monero because it actually was what people thought Bitcoin was.
