First of all, only idiots blame the tool for abuse by criminals. Secondly, it was just a matter of time before people dealing in dark webs would make the shift to something like Monero. Bitcoin is a horrible currency tool when it comes to the privacy aspect, and for that reason, I expected the shift to other crypto's to pick up sooner. I some times stumble over the stupidity of people around me, where they talk about how anonymous Bitcoin is, while in fact they completely ignore (due to a lack of knowledge) that everything they do can be easily tracked. And another thing, governments don't actually support Bitcoin at all. In best case scenario, they just regulate and legislate its usage.
