I'm curious to know if Bitcoin transactions are inherently criminal in nature. Many people associate bitcoin with illicit activities due to its decentralized and anonymous nature, but does this automatically classify all bitcoin transactions as illegal? Are there specific instances where bitcoin is used for criminal purposes, or are these just misconceptions? Clarifying this point would be extremely beneficial in understanding the legality and ethical implications of bitcoin transactions. Are bitcoin transactions a crime?
