If you have evidence of the existence of electronic currencies heavily and successfully used by criminals and terrorists, will you please share?

This is not actually what I claimed.

  OK. What did you claim, then?

    Pardon me, the word ‘could’ was missing, distorting my intended meaning. Edited.
    
    I claim that the for the purposes of criminal activities the existing more popular electronic currencies are just as effective as bitcoin would be.
    
    Now that you mention it I would claim that criminals use anonymous online currencies. Online currencies are notorious for money laundering. I have no idea what terrorists in particular currently do. Just what online resources they have available.
