Microsoft founder Bill Gates, was referring to the way cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin) are generally used to buy drugs. In an interview on Reddit, he mentioned that the anonymity of Bitcoin is a problem. This situation is abused by terrorist organisations link to drug trafficking and money laundering.

Some people criticised him about this views. They say he was ill-informed on cryptocurrency technology.

He said that the main principal of bitcoin is its anonymity. And because of that government’s ability to fight with money laundering and tax evasion is getting difficult. In his speech on this subject, he said the bitcoin is generally used by this terrorist organisations to buy and sell drugs like fentanyl and other drugs so this technology causes deaths in a direct way.

He said this technology will come to a bad end in the near future.

But Bill Gates was not so pessimistic and cynical about cryptocurrency before. In 2014, he gave an interview on Bloomberg and during this interview, he praised the bitcoin currency mostly.

I really wonder why he discredited cryptocurrencies like this. Why didn't he give any positive view in his speech? I think he thinks he will lose some of his income in the near future because of this technology.

Thanks @cryptoissweet, Following you too. Goldman Sachs Is Setting Up a Cryptocurrency Trading Desk, this will make a change on the rates in the near future. Also if you take a look at bbc, bloomberg etc. websites you can see the news on cryptocurrency by famous people who want to promote it.

Geçmişte kara para aklayıcıları, kiralık katiller ve terörislerin kullandığı para birimiydi. Ama artık devir döndü. Daha populer oldu ve yavaş yavaş kontrol mekanizmaları ve regülasyonlar işin içine girecek. Belki de tamamıyla kötü günlerinden arınacak.

Haklısınız, birkaç gündür büyük medya kuruluşlarında bitcoin lehine yapılan röportajlar Bill Gates gibi diğer sosyal medya şirket sahiplerini de tedirgin etmeye başladı.
Ama Gates'in yorumu komiğime gitti biraz, aynı mantıkla gidersek o zaman bilgisayar teknolojisinin de zararlı olduğunu söylemesi gerek, malum birçok suç bu ortamda işleniyor...

Cok guzel olmus ellerine saglik
