Yeah, same issue with Nobel inventing the dynamite. Just because some people are going to use it for unethical purposes, it doesn't mean that we have to stop the advance of science and technology. Besides, it seems that Bitcoin was inevitable, the internet needs its own decentralized currency.

Currently you have to setup accounts with multiple companies in many different countries and pay fees to all of them, it's an absolute mess.
