I know this argument is old, over-user and kinda irritating. But seriously cash is the most anonymous form of payment available Tongue

. BTC would not be my choice if I wanted to stay truly anonymous

I think you do, when you want to do a anonymous trade with someone on the other side of the globe.
Or would you buy a ticket each time?

Wow this is a low blow from those who oppose Bitcoin. They must be getting a bit worried.

Yep. We officially have an image problem. Now what do we do about fixing it?

Alcohol also have an image problem.
There is no reason to fix it.

It'll sort itself out.
We all know how the prohibition fixed itself

In the end everyone wants to get drunk anyway Wink

Well, due to the anonymity part, it can be used for any kind iof crimes, and that is something hard to eradicate.

Despite claims of revolutionary technology and growing acceptance, as bitcoin price collapses it becomes increasingly clear that the only novel use for bitcoin is for child molesters and sex offenders.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-09/bitcoin-payments-by-pedophiles-frustrate-child-porn-fight.html

“The emergence of bitcoins as payment for child sexual abuse represents the newest challenge in the fight” against child pornography, said Sarah Smith, a researcher at the IWF. “This is just the beginning.”

The currency provides “commercial child sexual abuse website operators with a method to revitalize their payment stream,” said John Shehan, executive director of the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia.

So congratulations bitcoiners, at best you are strengthening a system widely used to sexually victimize children, and at worst you are actively aiding and abetting sex offenders. Please be advised bitcoiners, "Ayn Rand and Satoshi told me it was okay" is not a legal defense in court. Cheers! Grin
