so today was the day of the talk and huge reduction in value.  Could it be that the speakers at the future of money talk may be among the speculators doing most of the trading?

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Bitcoin having a problem with illegal activity is easily matched and bested by centrally controlled wealth systems having a problem with severe immoral activity.  A merchant accepting fiat is as easily accused of supporting corruption as one accepting Bitcoin is accused of supporting crime.

That money laundering was the key criticism of Bitcoin is a huge success.  If a merchant is concerned about supporting or appearing to support crime by accepting Bitcoin then I would urge them to think hard about what they are supporting by accepting fiat.

This is like Microsoft trying to incriminate you for buying Donkey Kong for your Wii.

By definition, there's no such thing as an "illegal transaction" in terms of Bitcoins.

My apologies, it seems I haven't expressed myself well.  I don't mean to imply that Bitcoin has a problem with illegal activity, merely that if one could argue the case then one could almost certainly apply the same argument to fiat and corruption.

I certainly have no ethical hang-ups with using Bitcoins and indeed feel better about trading with them than with Sterling.
