I am a big fan of Robert Herjavec and even bought some of his books, but I am truly dissapointed with his companies view on Bitcoin.

He said his security company will not invest in Bitcoin because their enemy use Bitcoin as a payment option in Ransomware.  ::)

Before Crypto currencies were used, people paid with wire transfers and pre-paid vouchers or even credit cards. Would Robert's companies have done the same with these services? <stop using them?>

Bitcoin cannot be blamed for all the shit people are using it for, when will these people get it or is this simply a easy excuse not to invest in it?

Cash is used to buy drugs, are they going to boycot Cash next?

I agree 100%, technology is only as dangerous as the person that is using it. There will always be hackers in the world and they would anything in their toolset to get money. In this case, it just happens to be bitcoin. It is unfair for people to be smearing something because someone used it to profit off crimes. There is nothing dirtier than cash, that's why it was the preferred method of payment for criminals for so long.
