There are many uses besides the illegal ones. One of them is the reason I like to use Bitcoin: It's an easy way to send & receive money! Paypal required Identity Verification, otherwise there is a chance your account can suddenly be frozen and you won't be able to access your funds untill you've proven that you are who you said you were when you registered.
And I don't want to give them my identity. It's just not gonna work. Therefore, I really like Bitcoin.
