Ah and up to this year, bitcoin is still getting that notoriety of being the king of dark web? Almost all of the cyber crimes are attributed to bitcoin so I'm not surprised by the negativity even though we are still in 2019. But lest we remember, bitcoin is quasi anonymous, so it doesn't make sense of cyber criminals are using to used it because they can follow the footprints. If I'm a cyber criminal, I would rather used privacy coins here.
