I see more and more acrticles of bitcoin being used for illegal activities
will this hurt bitcoin in the long run , will governments ban this just like they started to do wih paying in cash for some services
to harden the use of illegal , and money laundering
Any currency is used for illegal activities.Bitcoin is used for this as well.
I don`t see a problem here.This might hurt bitcoin reputation, but a don`t see any major damage.
The ones hurting bitcoin reputation is the media, banks and governments, since its very obvious anything can be used for good and evil, bitcoin is only a tool, but since the powerful don't control it they cannot allow it to thrive or they could lose a chunk of their power.
