By that reasoning anyone that uses paper money is complicit in cocaine use, because a 2009 study showed that between 85% and 95% of all US paper bills have cocaine on them, in some states averaging as high as 20 nanograms on individual low-denomination bills (it takes 150 nanograms in your system to test positive for cocaine).
Almost any technology, including Tide Pods, can be used in the argument anyone that uses and supports a technology for legal uses is complicit in illegal uses of that technology, rendering the argument meaningless. You may use Peer-to-Peer technology, does that mean you support piracy?
Many seem to me to be attacking BitCoin and other cryptocurrencies in total rather than attacking the aspects they hate. For example, anonymity is not innately tied to cryptocurrency, just tied to most of the current implementations.
