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.
Money is the root of all evil, as they say. We can't help the fact that Bitcoin is money, just like the USD. (It's a better form of money in fact, but that's a separate discussion.)
As long as Bitcoin has value, it'll be used by criminals,
just like the USD.
Not only on Bitcoin or USD, everything that has value will attract criminals to get it. All forms that are valuable are actually not wrong and true said the OP that what is wrong is the human mind itself. But it is very unfortunate that many have mistaken the perception of bitcoin, especially the government, I don't know how the government thinks that short.
For example narcotics. Most people consider narcotics to be illegal and dangerous drugs. But keep in mind that narcotics were not created for that, narcotics were created as certain drugs by doctors. It's just that many people abuse and this is the same as bitcoin. So we have to think intelligently about all the things we just know, most people just listen briefly.
