It's legally dangerous (maybe, nobody has been arrested yet afaik) but it's not like using bitcoin creates child porn.I confess my ignorance of cryptocurrencies, but is there a way of extracting the "relevant" parts of the blockchain and storing them after one has "spent" the contaminated bitcoin? Because if so, then using bitcoin disseminates and spreads kiddie porn.I'm not sure I understand your question. The blockchain is public; anyone with access to the internet can get it, and by extension the CP in it. Using bitcoin does not disseminate it more than it is already (barring a scenario where everyone stops using bitcoin, and so you can't access the blockchain anymore).

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
I apologize for the moderate necro here, but I have a half-facetious, half-serious question: is there anything, at this point, that could be bad for bitcoin, at least in the eyes of the cryptocurrency nuts?
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
