Last few months I saw an article, that make me shocked, how some killer open their mouth in the court to tell the judge how the woman paid them with bitcoin to her husband that is making court to start investigating how the transaction was made to carry out such act. Assume it's fiat money she use to pay the killer, do you think the court will still like to investigate the type of currency used for the operation?
India is trying to Re-ban bitcoin in the country just because some people said is a scam currency.
What is your opinion?
I think I saw this story in the media before, and I also focused my attention on the fact that the attempted murder is the problem here, not that Bitcoin was used as payment. Humans are prone to biases because bias helps us not to become overwhelmed by the diversity of the things and situations we encounter. Moreover, people tend to feel more comfortable around something they're already used to and are not eager to change stuff if the status quo is not terrible. So it's no wonder many are turning against Bitcoin because it's too new and revolutionary, and new often equals dangerous equals bad. So ridiculous arguments that would not be taken seriously if it were fiat instead of crypto in those situations turn into 'relevant' concerns.
