Ughh, lol... people like you have given bitcoin a bad name in the press, due to the association of bitcoin to sites like silkroad and any other darknet market site.

But, I think personally what I like most about bitcoin is the fact that bitcoin is literally like digital gold that can be sent anywhere in the world without a third party.  And when you actually think about it, it's even rarer than gold.  This is because gold could potentially be found anywhere in the universe, due to the fact that it is a basic element.  Bitcoin is mined on computers on a tiny little planet called earth... so all in all, basically there are fewer bitcoins than actual gold itself.
