Currently, the ratio of legal to illegal activity on the bitcoin network has completely changed trend as the former surpasses the former. This was stated by DEA Agent Lilita Infante at the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration.

Is the number of criminals on the bitcoin network has significantly reduced compared to early days?

The news is true. The dominance of BTC has completely changed from criminal activities to trading/speculating . Although the numbers might not be so accurate and might even be wrong but the change of dominance part is true. BTC was being used on the dark web to purchase guns and drugs and other illegal activities on the Silk Road but things have changed now. Also the number of investors in cryptocurrencies have increased a lot now. I can imagine how global crypto is gonna go in the next few years.

Most of you don`t remember bitmixer.io, and last words from them when they closed their service. You can check it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2042470.msg20331854#msg20331854, blockchain is a great open book that says a lot about current situation and this topic. But where are those criminals who used bitcoin for illegal activities, now they probably use some other coin for their transactions. But ok, from criminals to speculators, I must wonder what is the next thing? Where we are heading? Is there anyone here with some good answer what is the next step for bitcoin?
