how do you make crypto illegal though? what part of it do you make illegal? Make exchanges illegal? Also, Coinbase would be destroyed by this as well as many other solvent companies, is there a modern example where congress passed a law that just outright destroyed companies worth billions with huge headcounts?

Research Monero, the only cryptocurrency really used for illegal transactions.  That should give you a good idea.

I used to buy a shitload of cocaine, ecstasy and occasionally other drugs using XMR as recently as 6 months ago.  Kraken has been the only exchange for Kraken for years I could reliably use.

Coinbase is useless as a wallet.  I guess it's good for speculation, but anyone who keeps their coins outside of a wallet hosted on their machine is an idiot.  At best, Coinbase is only good for buying bitcoin and sending it to Kraken.   And that's only if you just don't want to bother wiring the money to Kraken. 

I remain perplexed how Coinbase can be a public company. 

Interestingly, XMR is the only token that actually delivers on price stability.  The price for XMR in USD has been about $150 to $250 for many years.
