it is shamful because fiat has been used by criminals for years and i dont here anyone complaining about that.....
anyone can twist a story. that can contain some half truths.. but mostly exaggerations to make it sound interesting.
here is one.
headline: bitcoin used for terrorism
terror is the act of using force, torture or intimidation to leave people feeling terrified.
recently US Marshals had a hoard of bitcoins which they subsequently used to fund their training, weapons and court costs to be able to go and terrorize citizens threatening them with weapons to open the door or they will kick it down. removing peoples property. many people can easily admit if they heard a banging at a door from guys with guns threatening to break the door down they would be terrified. and this has been funded by bitcoins.
