No one can entirely deny some bitcoins are being used for illegal activity, for example funding drug dealers and some other criminals, but these are punished themselves not bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a currency and should be treated as one, being used by bad people isn't hard to expect at all.
At the first mention of the fact, there were zero regs involving Bitcoin so it was open season. these days, the press and the polictically controlled media centers just put it out there ever so often to keep the fires burning because they hate bitcoin, it is no more or less used than FIAT for crime
A clear clue of which side the media in. The currency doesn't have a brain to spend itself for criminal activities or even for drugs, the human who use it and the media still blame bitcoin, that's really funny but ironic.
Though the same case goes for the USD they just don't give a shit because it doesn't give them the advantage of mocking USD instead make them lose.
Just one thing, enough with this bullshit made by the media, there's nothing they could make as a news but bullshit.
