    I wouldn't be surprised if some banker put them there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a whole bunch of organized criminals put them there.

    Organized criminals use cash too.  Should that be illegal?

    What organized criminals use cash to transfer child pornography online? Did you think I meant that all things organized criminals might use should be illegal? That's not what I meant. I very simply meant that the chances are good that organized criminals are using blockchain technology to move child porn around. I don't know why you felt the need to respond to that with sarcasm.

    Because the constant attack and attempted discrediting of future use of blockchain.

    Maybe I should have instead compared it to the internet.  Do the same, find out who put it there and prosecute them.  Saying blockchain should be illegal would be like making the internet illegal.

    The difference is now the banking industrial complex is being threatened.

    And it could be said, even has been proven, that banks enable drug trafficking and terrorist activities.

    You seem to take these things quite personally. This is just a perspective based on facts, really (and "blockchain" and "internet" really aren't the same thing now, are they?). I wonder how you'd react to any random news about it if you didn't own any bitcoin?

    I don't take it personal, but I hope I am alive to see the day where big banks are phased out.

    I hope Bitcoin dies. It's rubbish. Wouldn't touch it with a 20 foot pole.
