In my opinion these are quite interesting news, as we often talk here how all the governments only want to replace cash, because they want to monitor all transactions, but it seems to be more complex than that. Privacy can protect people from criminals and malicious outside actors, and I think the benefits are far more important than some small number of criminals getting away with crimes.

In this light, crypto can find its place in economy as "digital cash", and some governments might officially recognize it.

Who wants to wastes their coins to some weed? They could really buy it with cash only and it has nothing wrong with that.

You mean coins are more precious than cash ? I understand coins and cash are same at a time taken for comparing (considering the fluctuations of cryptos). I guess you are from a country where buying/obtaining coins is more difficult, right ?

It just depends on if you plan to replace those coins or if you even bought them with the intention of spending them. Personally I'd rather pay a slight premium in fiat on smaller transactions than go through the hassle of buying new crypto to replenish that which I've spent.
