bitcoin is a double edged sword on one hand using it provides security on the internet since no one can trace you down and on the other hand it provides a big opportunity for hackers and black market dealers that use it for selling drugs and other illegal stuff since it provides anonymity,but it all depends on the person that is using it
It is not even knew that bitcoin is being used for different illegal things and that is also contributing in the price of bitcoin. I guess they have the most contribution for the pumping that is happening now. But for me, let's just copy those people who are involved with illegal acts. Let's just simply plain use bitcoin for our own good such as shopping online.
No one's forcing you to use it for illegal activities just because it may have some good preferences for that. You use it for what you need it for. :p
"Let's just simply plain use bitcoin for our own good such as shopping online" for our own good? Well if bitcoin was mainly used on deepweb before, that's not affecting us that much right now anymore, people know more about btc than they did back then. Each one to their own.
Yes for our own good, just like what you have said, use it for what you we need it for. But people in deep web thinks that what they are doing for their daily transactions are just fine and nothing bad but in reality what they are doing is an illegal thing. And for us, who are not associated with any transactions in deep web, let's just use it for good.
