Same as cash, gold, oil (ISIS oil in the latest example), diamond and others. Assets in itself are benign, its neither good or bad. It's just a tool that can either be harnessed to do good or used for sinister purposes.  So why direct hate to crypto? Might as well say that the internet is a tool for terrorist while they're at it. In short, misguided statements like what this security chief said is best left unreported. Not to be given any media mileage at all.
