I own bitcoin but there are more and more reasons why i will not make a big investment in Bitcoin. One of the greatest allures of bitcoin is that it's not backed by a government, and it allows its users to remain somewhat anonymous, even though their transactions are stored within blockchains. This "investor inconspicuousness" is a big reason why bitcoin has done as well as it has over the past couple of years. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/06/14/4-reasons-why-ill-never-invest-in-bitcoin-and-you.aspx

You seem misinformed. Just because BitCoin is used for illegal purposes does NOT mean it is illegal in itself.

Agreed. I think gold and fiat currencies have been used for illegal purposes also. Ask the CIA... I'm sure they'll tell you.

I long ago traded my fortune for time with my family. Best investment evar!!!

The best investment.
