This "guilt by association" type thinking makes no sense at all. Why would it matter who the earlier adopters of bitcoin were and what they were using it for? This is like saying TOR is bad because most people associate it with those same things (drugs, hitmen, etc.)
- frankbreetz 5y agoIt matters because it is basically funding the worldwide crime system, if some bought slaves for 1000s of bitcoin, that is now worth many millions of dollars and guess what? That money is going to be reinvested into a bigger, better and more sophisticated criminal organization. Crime is a business like anything else, profits get reinvested
