Child sexual abuse and child porn are abhorrent and I am glad that site and its users were busted, of course.  What I did not like about the article was that it seemed to put bitcoin front and center in all of that disgustingness, as if to paint bitcoin with the same vile brush as kiddie porn.  And this is just not fair.

It isn't as if this stuff hasn't been around for long.  That kind of pornography has probably existed since the early days of photography, and before that it was probably done as paintings.  How did perverts pay for it then?  It most certainly was not with cryptocurrency, so that article should have mentioned bitcoin *maybe* one time if at all.  The payment method for such foul crap is irrelevant in my opinion.
