- Bitcoin is not anonymous. especially if you don't know what you're doing. But it is very hard to trace if you know what you're doing.
- It is pretty much the same with cash and nobody seems to see these points with cash. O wait they just started to notice it and are pushing for a cashless society so we can be controlled better. One more reason to use Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin is a tool. It is neither intrinsic bad or good. It depends on how people use it. It is the same with a knife. A knife is a tool. Most people do good things with knifes and it helps many people with their daily life. But you could also use it for bad things like killing someone. Still nobody would want to forbid knifes.
