Hello steemit i just wanted to rant a little bit but i was just talking to my grandpa and he was under the impression that bitcoin is only used to hide or launder money. although it does happen
this really got my gears grinding as peter griffin(family guy) would say. the media is going above and beyond to make bitcoin look terrible. in my opinion anyone who uses bitcoin to launder or hide money is an idiot because there are incredible websites that will show a good understanding of how much the individual has in its wallet. blockchain is incredible in that sense with bitcoin that the police if they wanted to could learn the blockchain and get there addresses there is no reason that they cant and they probably all ready do.
all said this is really bad for people who cant form there own opinion(most people who listen to main stream media) bitcoin and crypto in general is wonderful so that is just my two cents.
