Imagine how many police officers have done the same with fiat and gotten away because of how anonymous and untraceable it is. And yet people, especially politicians and regulators have the gall to call Bitcoin money for criminals.
No criminal is going to choose using an public, incorruptible and unfakeable ledger like Bitcoin over fiat for illegal deals/laundering/terror financing/whatever.
This is being proven time and time again.
This is why Bitcoin is the superior currency and should replace fiat completely.
I sometimes find the whole thing Funny when the biggest excuse to discredit bitcoin has been it being used for malicious dealings or when they proclaim that it is been used for privacy, one thing I have always said is that as long the chain analysis is done properly it will be very much hard for a person to actually get those funds spent.
We have seen numerous times where the last resort of some of the bad actors is to actually leave the coins in the address because any attempt to move it sometimes might compromise one’s privacy. If it is even government actually looking for the coins trace they simply use every tools and even block off transfer to some mixing or co join platforms.
This is only possible with the fact that bitcoin is public and can never be altered if recorded, we have actually heard of cases where some bank transactions went missing on bank servers after fraudulent transactions this is why blockchain is the ultimate answer.
This shows that government enforcement agents that fights crimes are not immune to commiting criminal acts, commiting crime is a choice that people makes no matter their duties and positions in their societies.
Crime doesn’t know profession, it’s about one’s self belief and personal accountability.
