The amount of news on hacking, money laundering, drug trafficking and others that involve cryptocurrency or bitcoin seems to never run out. has become a natural law there are always two sides to this life. There is a right there left, there is a good one that is bad. so also in the world of crypto, bitcoin and others. But we must agree together that all return to their own people, want to use it all for good or evil. So there is no side of crime in bitcoin, because bitcoin is just a tool used. The evil is the human mind that directs it.
Its normal already. Remember that fiat has been used for bad purposes also but they don't put it on news. Bitcoin is just a tool that has been used by different evil persons to transact and it is normal to use it since it has a value.
Even things are being traded because they have value (barter) and so is crypto too. To be honest, I didn't surprised that this has been used for crime purposes. The best thing to do is just ignore what is said on these news sites and focus more on technicals rather than the fundamentals.
