I have some of my close friends who said that they now currently "get it", and they are having some respect for what it is designed to do. It makes me happy because the network is not merely for criminals.
Bitcoin has always been mostly used by non-criminals. You know, like any other money/currency!
I might haveforgotten to put the quotes "", ser. "Bitcoin is only used by criminals" has always been the nocoiner's favorite narrative to use to FUD Bitcoin. I always reply, it's freedom money. A "money" that can't be used by criminals, because of government control, is not an effective form of hard money.
