Your're right. I worded that poorly and that's what I get for rushing while at work. What I meant was: [In my own experience with the criminals in my family and the ones they've associated with] people often steal because they need a saleable asset to make ends meet or just because they want some extra value.

Sure, there are those that do it for fun too. I'm not insinuating that Bitcoin eliminates all crime, but it definitely de-incentivizes some crime.
