        You go into a store and purchase a tool. Like an axe. You pay with cash.

        You use the axe to commit a crime. You are a suspect, and the police issue a photo to the public.

        The store clerk recognises the photo and contacts the police.

        The police review the footage and watch you paying with cash at the store.

          in your example thenproblem is the purchase method, not the payment method. Same thing would have happened if you payed with crypto.

      Would any rich cryptobros like a copy of that jpeg but instead pay 100k for it so you can say you “own it”?
