I think their point is criminals are bad, so anything they use is also bad. Like guns, and drugs, and cars, and food, and beds, and houses, and air. All bad. We shouldn't use those things, and we should ban them at the earliest opportunity.
- fvv 6y agoThere are things very useful for criminals and not so much for common people , air doesn't belong go this category, ak-47 and bitcoin yes, are both vastly more useful to criminals that common people, in countries where governments is not oppressive amd against the people (in those countries good and bad behavior may be more or less inverted depending on situation)
- dmos62 6y agoYou're arguing against privacy. It's weird to have to rehash this debate, ever since tracking and data collection has become a widely recognized problem. Would you like to see Tor shut down as well? Same argument could be made for "unlicensed" encryption. Which feature of cryptocurrencies would you say is useful to criminals, but not to not-criminals? I'd argue that there's no such feature.
