Oh ffs, I thought we are past the whole " Bitcoin is only used by criminals " phase and here we go again.  Roll Eyes .... Tell me something, why would

someone signup to Coinbase and go through all the KYC/AML shit to identify himself and then use that account to commit a crime? These idiots

are shilling for governments against Bitcoin and they not even using logic reasoning to do it.  Roll Eyes Total FUD!
Its not over mate, We have to still fight against the negative criticism from the mainstream media. Just the other day in my country, The leading newspaper had the headlines that Bitcoin is illegal here. When I read the news story completely, it just said that the government is warning people to use Bitcoins at their own risk and that it is not actually illegal. I was like WTF is that headline?  Huh
Just every government wants to criticize bitcoins since they need a valid reason for announcing it illegal.In india,police caught five youngsters who sold drugs and that too in bitcoins.Immediately,government started discussions to announce bitcoin as illegal.Thats why i told,they just need a reason to blame bitcoins.

Yes, I agree with you. The government of some countries is very negative about the crypto currency. Basically it is the government of poor countries. Bitcoin can be dangerous for a weak economy
