It makes me scared that our government might make some unfair regulations regarding bitcoin because of people who engaged in such illegal activities. I hope they focus catching people like offline rather than online instead since sending drugs will be done off line. And I hope they do something about the addresses of those people.
Crypto surely makes illegal trade easier. And as banning crypto is not an easy and effective task, governments are now trying to give options to people to use government monitered crypto that gives every crypto benefits minus the tax free and anonymity. China has some form of it while USA now trying to launch a global coin with the help of elite enterprises led by Facebook.
