Being able to do something illegal and get away with it shows that the currency would even be useful under a tyrannical government.

OK, score one. Good point.

But it's still a very bad idea for bitcoin to be known as the medium of exchange for illegal drugs. It's like painting a bullseye on it and daring Congress to outlaw, regulate or tax it in some very egregious way.

Bitcoin enables freedom. But a lot of lawmakers and policy makers hate freedom and don't need much excuse to curtail it anyway they can.

Surely this is one of the major problems of Bitcoin. Difficult to solve.
But think on the bright side, with Bitcoin you break boundaries and shun corrupt governments
