I think you'll find that any widely used currency will see a substantial amount of it being spent on criminal shit, obviously, so that points invalid really imo.
Most currencies aren't used *primarily* for khrymez. Bitcoin is an unnoticeable fraction of a fraction of 1% of world's currencies, yet it's already responsible for 40% criminal to criminal payments (c2c) on the interweb.
Only 40% really?? wow I thought it would be way more than that, plus the media has spewed alot of bs demonizing
BTC on behalf of the government and central banks etc. to add to that. Anyway you have to respect
BTC if you have any respect for crypto currency cos it is and always will be the daddy, so pay homage little pheasant to the daddy of all crypto currencies. Also idc if you can buy drugs over the web, using
BTC or not, people will always purchase and abuse drugs, at least this way they can do it safely without having to deal with shady ass street dealers and anonymously cos were not all shameless and think it looks good to be seen buying drugs or some shit.
But sure, anyone willing to pay too much for drugs on the internet because too pussy to actually leave Mom's basement? Yeah, they probably could find an alternative to bitcoin. Just like anyone determined enough to kill a bunch of people could probably smother them to death with a pillow. OTOH, bitcoins and auto/semi auto weapons are far more practical. See where this is going?
Finally, I didn't mean to imply that I'm anti-crime or anti-drug. Simply pointing out that those are bitcoin's only unique use cases.
P.S. Bitcoin is doing x20 worse than ETH. Where's your god now?
