This statistics is so funny. So, almost 98 coins from 100 are used to either scam, steal or are used on darknets? And those 2 coins are either sanctioned or victim of malware.
This is pure bullshit! Blockchain analysis companies are pure bullshit! Bitcoin is used mostly by normal people but problem is that criminals, bad businessmen and government elites have a lot of money and more money is used in illegal activities because of that, simply, they own more money than the rest of the society.

I'm afraid this is even wrong and unfair. This is almost agreeing to the wrong analyses. It's like saying there are more good people than bad people who use Bitcoin, but most Bitcoin are used by bad people. Or the majority of Bitcoin transactions are good transactions but the majority of Bitcoin are used in illicit transactions. I suppose these are both false.

Incidentally, a similar issue about false blockchain analyses data regarding the use of crypto by terrorist Hamas has become a topic since Angus Berwick and Ian Talley of the Wall Street Journal wrote a couple of articles, Hamas Militants Behind Israel Attack Raised Millions in Crypto and Why Hamas Uses Crypto to Raise Money, which irresponsibly, or rather ignorantly, used and misinterpreted blockchain figures.
