Depending on who you talk to, cryptocurrency is a panacea or a scourge, an enabler of criminals lurking in the dark web, or a lifeline to the financially underserved. Is it public, transparent and traceable? Or, is it regularly manipulated to hide its owner, and is an innovative money laundering tool? Is cryptocurrency a little bit of all of this? Isn’t cash?
