Bill Gates says crypto-currencies cause deaths

Quote
Right now, crypto-currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way.

We all have blood on our hands guys, how does this make you feel? Bitcoin can't keep getting away with this. It's time to stop before crypto body count goes even higher.

But seriously, has he gone insane? What kind of logic is that? If I buy a gun and shoot someone - I'm not the one causing death, not even the gun itself, it's the currency that caused death in "fairly direct way".

Lets take it a bit further, if I buy drugs with btc using wallet installed on Windows os - would he take responsibility if I overdose?
