Go read the Bitcoin Whitepaper before you ask questions plz.. Bitcoins were worth almost nothing when they were first mined. They were almost a joke. A guy bought a pizza for 16,500 Bitcoins..

It is the individual's choice to spend cash on illicit goods and services. Why else does the US Government crackdown on illicit purchases with the US dollar? Oh, that's right, we have laws concerning how we spend the dollar. Did it say it is legal to use the US dollar on illicit goods and services or illegal?
