Hello everyone!
I've been thinking a lot about Bitcoin adoption lately and I think that adoption is still pretty slow partly because of the Bitcoin reputation. Despite it being a progressive technology of the future, a lot of people still think that it's a joke.
I don't think bitcoin's adoption is slow rather I think that it is moving at its own pace and surmounting the hurdles on its way. These hurdles are the regulatory issues, and security concerns. At the right time we are sure to see a lot of changes once these obstacles are overcome.
So there is different opinion among people about Bitcoin. Some people consider Bitcoin as "criminal money" because it's often used on the dark web and helps criminals to get away with selling drugs and stuff.
Like would it be good if we could create a system that somehow will make the life of criminals who use Bitcoin harder?
In my estimation, creating systems to counteract the activities of bad actors in the bitcoin space is good but on the other hand it may negative affect the good guys with pure intentions. For example, the good guys may feel that their privacy and security will be compromised thereby forcing them to abandon bitcoin which in effect slows down the adoption process. Anyways, whatever is done while trying to fix "bitcoin's bad reputation" should be balanced out with preserving its core principles.
