He explained that crypto provokes people to hide thier financial transactions from the government
I think, he got a point with this. I guess there are many people who made some profits with cryptocurrencies, but never declared them.
And the other points you mentioned, i think thats just the curse of decentralized and unregulated currencies. I hope, regulation will apply in a manner, which doesnt harm cryptocurrencies, but helps them do develop to legal mainstream currencies.
