Ah yes, Bitcoin bad because some people that use it are bad, how did I never think of that

I’m not saying that, rather I’m saying that I don’t see how either thing is clearly morally superior.

Bitcoin is open-source software, a network of nodes running Bitcoin core, the source code for which you can find here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Morals are a consequence of free will, which Bitcoin does not have. There are valid moralistic concerns about Bitcoin, but they are related to the impact of Bitcoin, rather than whether it is a moral system.
