bitcoin or cryptos are a currency or a payment medium so its normal if they will be used for paying or buying and it does not matter if what will you buy with , it maybe a good or bad service but a knife that you mentioned earlier is mainly being used for slicing and using it for other purpose ex. for killing someone is already considered to be a crime or illegal . bitcoin/cryptos isnt only a crime tool or its not a crime tool rather because its primary purpose is for paying/buying/selling and not for doing criminal acts .
