When the world is gradually accepting bitcoin, the already made bitcoiners are using those little opportunity to commit various crimes with bitcoin.

It is also said that this is not his first crime using crypto currency.
This are one of the reasons crypto is still rejected .
What are your thoughts on these?.

This shouldn't be a reason for governments to reject Bitcoin. Because these kind of events already happen with fiat money also. There is no difference here because of that. Hence, I don't understand why some people still are trying to show this as a reason.

This is what makes me disappointed like you, always used as an excuse by the government because Bitcoin is used as a criminal activity.
What has happened to fiat a lot, this really seems unfair. I believe the government is very difficult to find reasonable reasons for rejecting Bitcoin.
Therefore, as soon as there is a crime related to Bitcoin, the news is immediately blown up. Things like this are not new, the government also
often does this, to make Bitcoin look bad in the public eye. But now information is easy to get and the public can compare the reality, so what
the government is doing in my opinion is futile. Because in the end the public knows what the government's plans really are.
