> You can acquire cryptocurrency just as easily as you can acquire cash:
This is obviously untrue. Cash is ubiquitous throughout every corner of society, while cryptocurrency is extremely niche to the point of practical obscurity.
> sell things for it
The overwhelming majority of potential buyers will not have even heard of crypto.
> exchange currency with friends
Very few people have friends who dabble in cryptocurrency.
> exchange currency with people you find on LocalBitcoins
Risky, time-consuming and impractical, especially for someone that's only looking to buy some weed. Additionally, localbitcoins puts you back "in the streets", you're better off just exchanging cash for drugs in the streets rather than exchanging cash for crypto in the streets so you can go back online to buy the drugs.
> steal it, run a business taking payment in it, ...
That is absurd. You're not making a very convincing case.
