The key word here is "proportion." Cash is used in a lot of illegal stuff, but its used legally far more than the illegal. I don't know what the proportion is for Bitcoin, but this answer doesn't that fact. Its a rather poor rebuttal to the issue of Bitcoin being used for illegal activity.
- dustcoin 13y agoWhat about 100 dollar bills in particular? I would be curious to see what percentage of transactions using these bills involve tax evasion, drugs, or other illegal activity.
- srdev 13y agoThat's an interesting thought. Yes, it'd be very nice to see detailed statistics on various US dollar denominations, and Bitcoin as well.
