I was following an Article dubbed "Bitcoin’s use in darknet markets continues to grow: Chainalysis" in a respected crypto news site and I didn't liked the way the notice was "painted" to the readers. 

First of all Bitcoin, is an asset like any other that could be traded for things that people needs, and the darknet is used for people that don't like to be public and has they privacy secured.

Of course, there's illicit activities on the dark web, and people doing that will ask for Bitcoin, not as a reference to being an Dark asset...no, no, but as the one who facilitate their trade on the web.

The "painting" figure of the major news sites, gives it a weight that the news doesn't really deserve!!

First of all I didn't know, why they conducted that analysis when they have knowledge that Transactions happening on the Dark side of the net cover something like 1% of the total liquid of transactions happening on the crypto sphere!

I am really believer in crypto, and I refuse to be a "toy" and manipulated by medias that are partial and with "obscure" agenda related to the asset.

Bitcoin is not the responsable to the actions from the people who engage in criminal Behaviour such as money used to do crime with it... can we blame the money or the ones who engage using it to illegal activities?!

All that analysis is a crappy!!

P.s. this is my personal opinion not to influence anyone.
