There is only one reason for a normal person to want a Bitcoin - to break rules, laws, and regulations...

Baloney. That's the sort of reasoning behind Executive Order 6102 (Roosevelt's gold confiscation order). I would argue that forward-thinking people seeking protection from economic collapse are looking at BTC as well as gold. If some criminals are seeking tools to carry out their illegal activities then BTC will certainly be one of them. But good old-fashioned USD greenbacks are the mainstay of illegal activity, not BTC.

The Google CEO said:

If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

If having gold is considered criminal, bitcoin isnt?

For those who are worried about Google, please see your defense. (http://chronicle.com/article/Why-Privacy-Matters-Even-if/127461/)
