Episode 3
The #Silk Road and #Bitcoin Infamy
#Bitcoin early association with the Silk Road, an online black market for drugs and other illegal goods, gave the cryptocurrency a reputation as a tool for criminals and money launderers.
However, this association was more a reflection of the anonymity and untraceability of Bitcoin transactions rather than a flaw in the cryptocurrency itself.
