"The dark side of the darknet currency Bitcoin" - That's roughly the way the headlines of the mainstream media have been for years. However, after the recent release of the DEA from the USA recently reported that criminal activities with Bitcoin have fallen by 80% since 2013, a new study has come up with startling results that should make Bitcoin critics think.As governments regularly warn that cryptocurrencies are being used for terrorist financing, Europol has undertaken a search to verify this statement. The result of the study is more than surprising, because according to Europol there was not a single terrorist attack in Europe financed with cryptocurrencies. It turned out in reality that criminals prefer cash.Not because they are old-fashioned, but because cryptocurrencies are a pseudonym, not anonymous. Governments have proven on several occasions that they can track any crypto-transaction by criminals, as they are transparent on the contrary to cash.
