Probably a stupid question.

I have never thought of this, but it's something to ponder about. I don't think you would need to worry too much about it knowing that you have no choice in where it will come from. There is specific stuff to consider.

• First, if you manage to get your hands on dirty bitcoin, it's best if you get rid of it as fast as possible and maybe use mixers to "white-wash" the coins. There are still risks that you can encounter and make sure that in your jurisdiction, mixing is not considered a "money-laundering" thing.
• Buy from reliable resources so you would have a great chance of getting clean BTC.

At this point, you would know that the "anonymity" that we all want from Bitcoin is almost gone now.

Other scammer will try to make you believe that they are really trusted to which they will require you to use payment system that they can take advantage.

The best way to obtain merits is to buy it in the exchanges in your local place or area. Other countries are giving license to some cryptoexchanges to operate.
