I think that anty-money laundering is only excuse to stop crypto from their natural growth. It is easy to manipulate with people with fear that someone could use cryptos to finance whatever they want, but what was happening without cryptos, before cryptos. Fiat money was largerst, and allways will be number one for all criminal doings, because of fact that Bitcoin is actually more transparent than Fiat currencies. Everyone could track every transaction on blockchain, so there is no real reason to avoid accepting Bitcoin into economy.
Fact!
They are fully aware that fiat system is already been used since the beginning of time when we do talk about money laundering and other related criminality which
do involved with fiat.It is really just an excuse for them to exclude or prohibit on adopting crypto since they do reside with the government then its clear that cryptocurrencies
volatility,anonymity/decentralized/in-taxable thing is clearly the reason.
