If you are aware that your neighbor living next door is into drug dealing and he come seek your advice how to buy Bitcoin, will you teach him?

What comes straight to mind is embezzling the ill-gotten money, but is this even safe? My other neighbor knows I am into Bitcoin and he learned from me, I guess that's how this other neighbor knew, I told him to go meet the next neighbor but he said he is not ready to teach.

What will you do if something like this is happening around you? Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

My mind isn't settled as I keep thinking different things, what is on your mind readers?

This is a very excellent question that reveals all the problems of cryptocurrency anonymity to an outside ignorant observer, just like the state. We use cryptocurrencies only for good purposes, but there are also those for whom bitcoin is not a means that can change the world, but simply an anonymous payment tool. Such people don't care how it works. They don't call cryptocurrencies digital gold, they only care about practicality. It is because of them that there is regulation.

So my answer is no. I wouldn't teach him cryptocurrencies.
