doesn't make it the "tool for terrorism" as the governments want people to believe.
Is this really a thing that governments are discussing these days? Because the other day I saw another topic around the same subject here and despite the FUD about illicit usage being old it makes me wonder whether they are starting it up again?

I highly think that this is the only argument that the government that can think of. With all the advantages and benefits that one can gain from just earning BTC, people may still find a way to focus on its negative aspect and make it like a non-negotiable thing with them.

I just find it really funny whenever I read posts arguing that BTC should be avoided because it is a "tool for terrorism" due to its anonymity factor. I mean, anything an be a tool for terrorism; even money or fiat can be used by these people for illegal and illicit activities.
For a long time, I have not seen the government calling bitcoin a terrorist tool in mainstream newspapers. But I still see some people here continuing to spread this, I see that it is we who are spreading these negative arguments, not the government. It's true that they once considered bitcoin a terrorist tool, but things have changed. If they still consider it linked to terrorism, why have more governments started accepting it? We should stop spreading these negative arguments because the world is gradually becoming more positive about bitcoin.
