RE: One of the loudest arguments against cryptocurrency adoption is probably its weakest...

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

The "because criminals/terrorists use it" argument is always a weak one. Should we ban online ads and bots because criminals commit click fraud with that combination? Or what about when terrorists capture oil fields - should oil be banned? But yes, I often use the most direct counter you highlighted, which is that legal currency funds way more illegal activity.

Sort:  

Plenty of wars being fought in the name of religion, we should make them illigal and make the world a better place, makes much more sense than banning bitcoin becouse a few drug dealers use it.
