Ya might wanna rethink that statement :-\. Money laundering, crime, tax evasion, et al., have been around - i.e., reality - a lot longer than even the concept of bitcoin and other cyber currencies. Evil or good is not the realm of any currency medium, just the uses to which it is applied. To paraphrase an old saying, "What Man can create, Man can pervert." :o :P

I think that's Ren's point. The MSM is trying to spin crypto as causal when it neither is nor can be.

Exactly. If they wanted to "stop all bad things", they'd outlaw the USD as it's used for more criminal activity than any other currency. Which is just complete insanity.

Bitcoin is not just digital currency. It's Napster for finance.

Terrorism! Drugs! Online Assassinations! Money laundering! Tax evasion!
