This is not about making bitcoin mainstream but using bitcoin as a bad thing. People who are blind about bitcoin will now think that bitcoin is currency for criminal thing. The reason people like to use bitcoin is that it is easier and no question ask when you are doing large value transaction. In my country if you are making transaction which is large enough there will be a lot of question to be ask on what will the money use for
Exactly, but a lot of people are still associating bitcoin only to bad or better illegal things (as drug, trade of weapons, etc). So yes, it is a problem for bitcoin but the problem is not BTC itselft but always the people.

Like when computer is a new thing for the world and some bad guy use computer to hack the system, It was then considered that computer is a bad thing . This is happening as well for bitcoin right now

For hundreds of years FIAT dominated these markets and that did not stop people using FIAT in mainstream. So, why on earth, the use of bitcoin in these businesses hinder bitcoin's mainstream growth ? Rather, I think, because of bitcoin's use law enforcement are getting trails of these businesses.

Because people will think that bitcoin is a currency for criminal and people who dont have knowledge about it will now avoid in using it that is why it will hinder bitcoin's mainstream growth
