Perhaps... or maybe the reputation for crime that some people are intent on projecting onto bitcoin is not particularly accurate to the realities of currencies used most frequently in the commission of criminal activity.

I can tell you that I helped stop a predatory crime that was being committed using US dollars this year, partially by using digital assets defensively. Defamatory general statements about the target and digital assets had been made in the past in this case, and it backfired on the perpetrators- horribly, in the federal jurisdiction.

Could you take a moment to consider why unqualified generalizations like yours could concern some? In the past, the perpetrators had attempted to capitalize on the perception you are asserting as reality. The possibility of resultant ankle bracelets or worse for them is high, due generally to record keeping and time stamps.

The reality of this technology is that it solved the technical problems associated with Internet native asset classes. The rest is editorializing.
