Has the lack of crypto ever stopped this from happening? Look up cases of gold bars being found in senators houses, those are actually MUCH less tracable.
Shitcoins and Shitstocks(some SPACs) do allow of a legal way to "give" others money through the transfer of value in a way that is technically legal. This again is not crypto specific though.
So the best part about being bribed with crypto is if one flees to another country to escape the law, one still has the aforementioned bribes. That plus some measure of anonymity.

Anonymity is the one thing cryptocurrency does not do well. It's much harder to sieze but much easier to trace.
There are a dozen better ways than Crypto to bribe politicians.
A Boeing. Straight cash. Naming anirports or other public spaces. The aforementioned shitcoin. What are the others?
donations to an inauguration fund.
For me it was buying a computer from newegg but I confess I'm not playing in the same league.
What was the benefit to you over using USD? (actually wondering)
1. Get rid of the few mBTC I had left after I realized how bad I'm at crypto trading
2. Fully live the concept of buying something physical from a virtual money I got by mining some now defunct coins.
i.e. No real benefit. And maybe a small drawback of increased transaction fees.
