Alert From Internet Police For Bitcoin

[Robin Clarke]

Believe it or not, but Bitcoin has become a bit of a concern to the internet police. The Internet Watch Foundation has uncovered some astonishing news about Bitcoins being paid to enter a child pornography site and this is definitely not good news. For the past few months there has been some nerve-wrecking havoc with hacked websites, indecent pictures and more. As much as I like the anonymous part of using the Bitcoins, I think that something must be done to make sure it is not used the wrong way!

The problem is not the currency, its the disgusting individuals who propagate such filth.

What does paying for pornography has to do with bitcoin. A knife maker can't be responsible that some people prefer to cut their wifes instead of bread. Most things in this world can be used to commit a crime.

I bet a lot more sick idiots pay for child pornography with USD.

And all the weapons and drugs that are being bought with USD. If we forbade USD the volume of drug trafficking (measured in USD) would sink to 0.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with it, but people are stupid by nature. When people talk about Bitcoins on regular websites, they say that it's only used to buy drugs, and only criminals use it. It's the same type of logic that many people have when they see one member of one group do a horrible thing, they blame that whole group or country, etc.
