Some guys on NPR were saying exactly the same thing about cash.Originally Posted by Wade Lippman
Never occurred to me that the intent was to support Illegal transactions when it was created. I have heard reasons stated for wanting to use bitcoins, and supporting crime was never one of them.The fact that you can use it kind of like cash is certainly one of the reasons that certain criminals may want to use it. On the other hand, there are ways that a bit coin may be identified later after it is spent in a way that is even more traceable than cash (according to forbes), so if they do it long enough, and if officials take interest in them, their choice of payment options may make them more likely to be caught down the road.
