And therefore, could you make a first amendment case to permit the use/legality of private cryptocurrencies (e.g. Monero, zcash, zcoin, etc) if there is ever an attempt at a ban?

This got me thinking about it https://twitter.com/zooko/status/1009866566165454848?s=19

fairly-mined POW coins are commodities (as has been established for Bitcoin), but I'm working on the assumption that you could argue that they're currencies here

Like if the secret service succeeded in getting privacy coins banned and someone sues them arguing it's money and thus speech and thus free to possess and use idk

again i'm not a lawyer but i believe that the law recognizes only legal tender as money. cryptocurrencies are considered assets not currencies.

i think economic activity can be considered speech in cases but trade can be regulated depending on the good/service in question. and cryptocurrency would be treated as a security.

Yes and it should be regulated just like speech by a class of professional revolutionaries.
