- krapp 13y agoExcept... no one has criminalized BTC itself here, only its use in facilitating crime. They seem to be treating it like any other currency.
- ommunist 13y agoCoining headings like that "US makes Bitcoin exchange arrests" is criminalizing the term 'bitcoin'. And the article emphasises that tone. Ever seen headings "US makes US Dollar exchange arrests"? Huh?
- krapp 13y agoOk, I partially retract my statement. BBC News has criminalized Bitcoin for the sake of a headline. This still isn't evidence of the western banking or government systems quaking in their boots.
