Bitcoin is not the problem and never has been the problem. Such thinking is simple minded and people who think this way are almost always certainly no ones. Crime can be funded without money did you know that ? Crime can be fueled by hatred . Blaming bitcoin is like blaming the internet for pedophiles. Anything can be used for good or bad.
Totally true but don't you think that there are tons of people who turned into pedophiles because they have watch some in the internet?
And that started their desire for child?
Oh for fuck's sake. This is the old argument that people are influenced to commit crimes because of violence in movies, video games, books, etc., and to the best of my knowledge I don't think anything of the sort has been proven. Do you think people just happen to run into pedophilic pornography and that they somehow get sparked into...whatever? I don't think so. That's either your thing or it isn't, and bitcoin and the internet have nothing to do with that bullshit.
As stated (correctly), crimes have been funded with cash and every other form of money since the beginning of crime and/or money. Bitcoin is just a new form of money, that's all.
