Who cares? As long as i use bitcoin for good purpose, people can't say that i'm also bad guy who use bitcoin.
I would tell people that bitcoin isn't currency for bad purpose & there are many good place which accept bitcoin.

When bitcoin is used more by good people like us, the reputation will enhance.

Everything can be used for good as well as bad. Bitcoin is not anonymous (at least not completely), so gradually the bad stuff should disappear.
Wait...

But I just opened my first wallet, and I don't feel there's any way of you people seeing my last name.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
Meh, we enjoy freedom and privacy, but the 3 billion-dollar question is, do the governments, banks, and the media respect it? No, no they don't. As long as they can get something into their pockets, they don't care what reputation they might damage just to get their goals. And do they think that bitcoin is the only money that is tainted with illegal activities? They're just blinded because fiat has a lot to offer to them, and has a lot of potential to make them rich.

My thoughts? Illegal activities are diverted towards bitcoin and is stressed upon while the wrong-doings in fiat is just ignored by the masses because of the governments, banks, and the media.

wouldnt it be great if on the year MTGox went down. media told the world about mtgox. but also stated the amount of police reports that were filed that year of people around the world being pickpocketed on the streets, debit card cloning and where people lost fiat due to bad wall street investments. reveal the number of police reports of people paying fiat to scam artists for timeshares, etc.

I understand the sentiment but I don't think it's a great idea to compare Bitcoin to other thefts and bad investments.

I can visualize the ad campaign now: Come join us in Bitcoinland! We're no worse than Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.

I feel bad, because I've been trying hard to introduce Bitcoin to the people.
But now, everyone would be hard to interested to use Bitcoin.

I'm angry because of this negative reputation of the bitcoin currency.
I think this is one of the main reason why some of my friends hesitate to join bitcoin.
I hope that very soon this will change when more ''big'' merchants accept bitcoin and we become mainstream.

those that are against bitcoin because it can be used like cash for criminal things, only because , again, it has some advantage over fiat, on this type of stuff, are the one to blame

the real criminals are the one who are preventing bitcoin to grow, and i'm sure when bitcoin will skyrocket its reputation will follow too

My only wish is that we get our acts together as adults, and prove to society that we are not criminals.

We don't have to prove we aren't criminals. We just aren't. The mentality of "guilty until proven inocent" doesn't help anything.

Anyway, don't expect to criminals to stop to use Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency just because their activity supposedly harms the currency.

Aside of this, the only thing we need is just education. In the same way as encrypted and secure comunications for privacy purposes of the average citizen.

I feel like any negative connotation surrounding bitcoin is a misconception and will only be temporary.
American investors are afraid of the Marijuana industry because they don't see it being a profitable endeavor, yet it's the biggest cash crop in America while remaining illegal.

Money attracts everyone, but if you scare genuine people away or make it difficult for businesses to be taken seriously while accepting BTC then who remains to use the currency?
As it grows and gains interest globally it will lose it's "negative" reputation and will continue to increase in value.

Your country may be your worst enemy
Jewish bankers have a terrible reputation but their business is still going strong. Americans have an awful reputation in many African countries, and in some parts or Europe. Muslims, blacks, Russians, millions of people give a bad reputation to millions others, but the sun keep's on rising every morning. I guess I have a bad reputation myself to a few people, but I don't care.

Also, having a bad reputation can be exciting. I love women with a bad reputation.

I think people are afraid of taking responsibility over their own finances. The best way to tell people is that bitcoins are like virtual cash.

Bitcoin is just money...
That's a great commentary, but I think you're missing the point of my post.

Sorry I'll...

Aren't you concerned that the utility you value so much will be lost if only a few people are left using it?
Yes. lol. There are no guarantees of course, but I think we are past the infancy stage and it will take a lot to kill bitcoin now. To date I have never even seen a viable way to kill it. So I'm just not worried about price or the future at the moment. I feel like the war is over, and brother, we won!

I agree with you that Bitcoin appears pretty sturdy at this point. That clearly is a win. However, I'm not interested in simply watching it maintain its current market position or worse, see some competing inferior system designed by the current financial gestapo take the lead because Bitcoin appears tainted by criminal activity.

Before bitcoin created, dark market/illegal things can buy with fiat and it's still ongoing. it's a tools, you can use it for good or bad things. recently a lot positive feedback for bitcoin, more adopter coming. people already wake up(although is not all and still not half human being in this world).

Everything you can buy with a money, including a husband.
Was that last line in reference to this post I made?

Bitcoin is generally attracted by criminals due to its awesome features like anonymous,No fees,No taxes,No government issues,No chargebacks Tongue but that doesn't mean everyone using bitcoin is criminal..
If some people think that way that people using bitcoins are greedy,thiefs etc then that is there fault they do not know much about bitcoins..
I would say everything in the world,including bitcoin has it's pros and cons..If bitcoin has negative side then it do has positive side also and it depends on you which side you stand Smiley
It wouldn't matter if that was the actual truth. If it doesn't look like the truth, no one believes it. You could be a wonderful person, and no one would know or care unless you looked that way.
