New technologies often come with a double-edged sword of benefits and risks. Just like pagers in the 80s, #bitcoin can be used for illegal activities such as ransomware attacks.

Instead of banning new technologies outright, regulation can help promote ethical practices and maximize social welfare while minimizing harm.
