Over the years, our enemies has used all sorts of labels to categorize Bitcoin users. We were labelled as Drug addicts and Drug lords <Silkroad> or a bunch of Paedophiles exchanging Bitcoin in Dark markets for child porn and Money launderers and tax evaders, but it turned out that we are no different than any other person using any other payment network.
I have no doubt, that a small amount of people in this community could be involved in these activities, but when they paint a scarlet letter on a whole community, based on the small amount of people that are doing this, they should turn the mirror on themselves and do a bit of introspection.
We should not allow these people to ostracize us for the actions of a small group of people that are using this technology for criminal activities. It is time for the Bitcoin community to stand up for their rights as law abiding citizens and to educate these fools, with facts.
Show the world that Bitcoin is used more for legal business than illegal transactions in Dark markets.
We cannot separate the thought of people about dark market, illegal activities, crimes and other bad things when in terms of bitcoin since it is true that it is happening in the world. For us to be able to show the world about its benefit or how we used it in the good ways, then we can have advertisements or promotion to bitcoin as not only for crimes but also for good sake. Comparing the number of using it for good against for bad maybe a good way to show people the real meaning of it to us.
