Bitcoin is being used for illegal activities as much as fiat is being used for illegal activities, it doesn't mean it's the fault of bitcoin or that bitcoin is a bad currency.
There's criminals everywhere and bitcoin is attractive cause it's very anonymous to all those criminals.
criminal activities are even higher with fiat. and this is btw a sign of a good currency. everyone can use it. if you leave certain people out and you can decide who can use it, then you have a bad currency.
Yup, fiat world is too big, more crimes, maybe criminals will use bitocin to do bad things, it is beneficial to bitcoin price.
I don't know why people make such a big deal about criminal activity for Bitcoin. Fiat has way more criminal activity. It definitely is used for illegal activity.
not people, say the Media. there is a difference.
and it has two major reasons, one of them is that the media is always hungry for publishing these types of news, mostly negative and ugly and more importantly HOT. it is either click bait, increasing more sale, or viewers, ...
and also there is this propaganda to not let bitcoin grow, that is why they show it in a negative light and show it as a criminals coin.
Yeah the media love to hate on Bitcoin. Fiat is probably worse when it comes to criminal activity, but there always seems to be a problem with Bitcoin.
