So is all cash. Technology itself is never amoral, only its applications can be.

Nope, no more than it bothers me that US dollars are used to finance drugs, child porn, and terrorism.  (It doesn't.)

 

Does it bother you that $ is used to enslave entire societies in engineered debt and artificial scarcity?

It bothers me, but that has nothing to do with bitcoin.

There still has to be an exchange, even if the money exchange is easy. Drugs must be transported somehow, terrorism is not done by a monetary transaction either.

And child porn? I don't believe that there actually is a market. I think there are only communities of child porn consumers sharing their files. How would you stop them from doing that by making payments harder?

Have you ever tried to snort coke with a bitcoin? Pretty easy with a dollar note though and near every bill in circulation has trace amounts on them and I think you can get a few grams out of a pile of a million if you were so inclined. What was your point?

NO CP

Everything else is reasons why people should get behind Bitcoin, personal freedoms
