Could you elaborate on the reasons why Bitcoin users are sometimes arrested? Is it due to their involvement in illegal activities such as fraud, money laundering, or the purchase of illicit goods? Or is it a result of misunderstanding or lack of clarity in regulations surrounding the use of cryptocurrencies? Are there specific jurisdictions where the arrest rate is higher, and if so, what are the common legal frameworks that lead to such actions? It seems that this issue involves a complex intersection of law, finance, and technology, so I'd like to understand the nuances behind these arrests.
