I just find it very unfortunate that media capitalized on this idea, thus increasing the stigma that BTC had been used for criminal activities.
anyone that so saying that bitcoin has been used for criminal activities so bitcoin is for criminal purpose, lack the reason of creating bitcoin and also don't know the uses of bitcoin and he is even confused about bitcoin so he need extra moral classes on bitcoin so he can develop the understanding of bitcoin and can talk about in anywhere. I have heard people saying that bitcoin is meant for criminal activities. They don't even know anything about bitcoin.
Illiteracy and ignorance make people say what ever they like about Crypto,it is normal for them to express the feelings about it but not to talk I'll about it because this is what has really made some many people live bouyantly.I wish they understood that Bitcoin is not related to crime in any way,it is a legit and legal way of making money through investment,either long term or short term.This question of whether Bitcoin is crime related was asked by someone I know sometimes ago,and it only takes time for you to explain in details what it's all about before they will believe you.But if they don't believe after explanation,then there is nothing to worry about because you owe no one explanation.
One will wonder what the activities in bitcoin are that gives them the money,but it is left for you to tell them the things one does that makes the money available which also gives them and edge over other financial sources.
