eth is also traded to and from USD on various exchanges, so that's a parallel, too?

Listen, I'm no ethereum fanboy here, but logic, let's use it.


So is the USD and a bunch of other currencies, what's your point? You can also trade ETH for USD on most big exchanges.


And USD are used for all kinds of illegal things; solutions include restricting paper transactions to $100 units of currency (so that large amounts of currency are bulky and heavy) and all kinds of restrictions on transactions over $10,000.
