Not to mention you can't compare the Internet to Bitcoin..If you do research, you'd know Bitcoin wasn't the first virtual currency ever created, but the most successful thus far, at least in the tech and illegal community but not general public, especially because it's decentralized and anonymous(Perfect for Drug Dealers).
LOL, kid.
If you do research, Internet, too, wasn't first network ever created, but the most successful thus far! Do you know why? I will leave it for your homework. And do you even know what 'Internet' stands for?
When internet became more popular there were resistance worrying about illegal activities. Today, it's hardly an argument. When mp3 became popular, many companies hated it because media streaming is evil. Today only fools think it still is.
Please be informed that bitcoin is NOT anonymous, but pseudonymous. Please read some bitcoin wikis at
You argue bitcoin attracts criminals due to anonymity, but it's complete false. Bitcoin is actually easier to track and trace than cash and/or gold. Bitcoin is open ledger that anyone can track any transaction any time. Of course, you just can't make connection between bitcoin address and the owner. But that's not a problem. Just follow the blockchain, and at the end, the transaction is connected to some physical properties and/or services. Then you can connect last dots to an entity. And there are hundreds years worth of tools, laws, regulations, methods, skills, experience, and know-how to trace back to the owner.
It's like saying WWW is not safe for children because it attracts porn industry. Did you know that porn industry was the first one to embrace WWW, flash, online payment, and other new inventions?
One of other arguments was about being mainstream. But guess what? Less than 20% of world population has a bank account. I guess banking system as we know it is not really mainstream then.
