Bitcoin is for criminal? No, please!

[Italian Panic]

This has been one of the main narratives of recent years: that Bitcoin was used to launder money from mafia gangs, drug dealers and so on.
This widespread belief was of course fuelled by the mainstream media and emerged in the wake of the Silk Road case in 2013, following the arrest of Ross ulbricht.
I believe that Bitcoin is a tool offering absolute freedom, free from third parties, and that it has a bright future. A future that will sideline the role of banks, and this really stings them, which is why they speak ill of Bitcoin.

Guys, what do you think?

The fact is that long before Bitcoin emerged, paper money and gold were already being used in various transactions—both legal and illegal—so the narrative that casts Bitcoin in a negative light is nothing more than baseless brainwashing.

I also don't believe that bitcoin is for criminals, but rather btc is for everyone. It's just that not everyone is interested in it. Some are only superficially interested in it, while others are deeply interested in it.

Meaning it depends on the individual how they adopt or use Bitcoin whether for good or for bad. Therefore it can only be used for good and evil. Bitcoin is just a tool for good and bad intentions.

Bitcoin was never about crime, it was about freedom. The same network that lets someone in a failing economy send money home without a bank also lets a single mom in Argentina keep her savings from evaporating overnight. The "criminal" label sticks because governments like control, and Bitcoin refuses to give it to them. Every time a central bank prints more, every time a politician freezes an account, every time a family gets blocked from moving their own money, Bitcoin earns another user. It is not a tool for criminals, it is a tool for anyone who has ever been told no by a system with too much power and too little accountability.

Yes, this is a great example of how Argentinians are tackling the increasingly severe inflation in their country. Bitcoin is capable of doing much more than it is often credited with, and this is down to its scarcity, which allows us to see its value appreciate over the long term.

Exactly, the word Freedom is the best main purpose of creating Bitcoin why the inventor of Btc thought of it. some people became financially free who believed in it early and held and sold it at the right time.

Just think if through bank or wire transaction it would take a few days before the person we send it to receives it. But with Bitcoin it has made things easier and faster that we were used to before.

In fact,in my opinion,the main objective of bitcoin is freedom,and in particular financial freedom, independence from banks, a bank transfer can last a few days and the bank can block it, a transfer with bitcoin it will be immediately and is unblockable
