Bitcoin does indeed used for bad things, but it does not imply that it is meant to facilitate those things. The main issue that you raise about limiting Bitcoin usage in order to eliminate criminals might have unintended consequences. If we specifically reserve a centralized entity to make anyone able to censor a transaction, it is very likely would make Bitcoin lose its significance.

It is necessary to look at another thing when you have that kind of mindset. Say, a simple thing like a knife, if it is used to kill people, do we surely want to somehow restrict its usage?
Actually, in Bitcoin, miners are able to include or exclude a transaction, so practically, there is a way to exclude alleged criminal usage. Nevertheless, how does someone make sure that it is indeed an illicit transaction?

There are other ventures of exchange for money even in the USA that still exist to this day like drugs and weapons that investigations are not allowed, and that are criminal entities than bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin is used for criminal purposes does not mean that fiat cannot be used, but let's put it in the same asset class as gold, crude maybe, this time around as a digital asset. While bitcoin mixing can protect identity with transactions, some other anonymous coins still exist with high transaction volumes, though they are not discussed as often as they were in the past, but are still very active and private.

You are talking about creating a system to make scam harder.

Don't forget that bitcoin is not the only coin that uses block chain, Altcoins also used block-chain.
I am not in support of fraud or scam, but come to think about it, if bitcoin introduces traceable transaction into their block chain, will all coins do ??

Let's be realistic, Most transactions done on the dark web are more massive than the legit transfers, Dark web and dr*g activities produce more money that brought most crypto to their main level today.

There can be the quick decision on Bitcoin promoting - buy some ad spaces in the Web and start to promote. If you have some spare Bitcoins for promoting, it could be wise start.   In general most of people are not interested in Bitcoin, first of all, bank transfers are faster and more safe. Bitcoin transactions can go several weeks now.

This is the main power of this invisible currency that it cannot be controlled, but for those who do criminal activities based on this power, I think we and government should need to control those activities first, then this false slander will not fall on the body of Bitcoin. If what you say can be implemented, it will also be a threat to Bitcoin because it will be very controlling, and once it is done there is no guarantee that bad people won't use it again for bad purposes.
We should first think about this thing that we should not blame the whole system for the bad intentions of a few bad people, we should vanquish those people and those bad intentions. So the way to make it harder for criminals to use Bitcoin, is to control the activities of criminals, when those activities will not be there, how will it (bitcoin) be used for bad purposes?

What's the point of making the impression good to other people? To encourage them? We are not required to do so and also, that would be hard to achieve given that there are just really problems which do exist in this industry. It would be better to just let them have the initiative to engage in this technology for them to have sense of accountability if ever there will be something to happen with their money.Those who don't know that much about this industry may really percieve this technology to either be a scam, joke, and such. It just contradicts to the potential people in this industry are seeing and making use. Difference with perspectives is just normal. Persuading them to engage in this industry will just be a waste of time; imagine them panick during market price downfalls. Who would be blamed? Ofcourse it is who invited them. Bitcoin has been existing for years; been into a lot of issues and accusations but it still do exist and that is for sure because of a good reason those who are not into this industry, should see for themselves.

You are right, I agree! That's where education plays a huge role. But we still have A LOT of people who think otherwise, and, sadly, these people are the majority. And I still don't see countries adopting crypto education in schools and universities (there are some cases but it's very local).

So as I see it, the situation got way better, but we still have a long, looooong way to go. That's why I'm wondering if there are any ways to speed up this process.

Bitcoin is growing very fast, if you try to compare which asset class in the past has achieved similar achievements as bitcoin? Almost no asset can grow as fast as bitcoin. Bitcoin is only 14 years old, too young for the world economy to be in a hurry. For a revolution to be successful, it takes a lot of time and effort to get there.

There is actually a reason for us to convince people to use Bitcoin. That is actually helping them. That is what Bitcoin education is basically for. But not convince as in insist, if they already have a different perception of Bitcoin. It is enough that people are enlightened about the case of fiat and what Bitcoin truly is for. Let Bitcoin's features convince them after making them aware. If awareness failed to convince them, then it is their choice.

I think the true answer is neutral there is always people who want to fix the bad reputation of bitcoin but meanwhile there is always people who want to destroy reputation of Bitcoin is two side of coin sometimes the bad win but the good can win too.

What we can doing right now is by spread the good things and try to educate anyone who want to invest in crypto
