        The terrorist and hacker group Anonymous use Bitcoin for money laundering because it is not regulated. Besides, THEY created Ransomeware.

        Really? So if the ransom was paid in US dollars, would the US dollar become controversial? What rubbish you put out at times.

        REALLY? Nonsense! If the average person can't understand what it is, or does, or how it does what it does, then IT IS A SCAM!

        Why is it controversial? An untraceable currency has a single purpose, no matter the smoke and mirrors. Doesn't even require laundering

        This attack might prove 2b Bitcoin's undoing. Who guarantees this currency won't be subjected to cyberattacks?

        It's being attacked all the time but we're talking about a system that has 100x more computing power than Google.
