Topic: Bitcoin Are Now Used in Crimes (Read 13114 times)
in my opinion this is one issue to drop the bitcoin. it is from this bitcoin that will self-reliance someone to work independently.
How do the criminals use it? I have never heard that bitcoin has been used or is involved in crime.
Until now bitcoin is used for crime or illegal purpose and others are used by druglords, if they buy drugs they pay the bitcoin so they do not get caught by the police, so we need to be alert for everything to avoid.
Let's not forget the fact that fiat is also used illegally. But the truth should be said that BTC lessen the risk to be caught when you use it illegally though it doesn't mean that you can get away with it. Police nowadays should also upgrade since criminals are getting smarter day by day.
Yes bitcoin is used for crimes and illegal activities. Last year wannacry Ransomware hakers asked bitcoin. This is also a cause for crimes.
Bitcoin is good but should be regulated to avoid such crimes, money laundering and illegal activities, but how to regulate it? No one knows this beacuse no one know who is sending and receiving money and how to regulate?.
You can use almost any tool for criminal purposes. What if we ban knifes from being produced because someone can use it to kill people, what about the majority of people that use and needs knifes just to prepare his meal ? Some consensus must be reached and that consensus is that majority cannot pay for the minority doing bad.
Bitcoin indeed used for wrong doings nowadays specially it's value keeps on getting higher. It keeps on being used as a ransom or a scam.

I think such things are used in the crime of bitcoin those who do not have the heart because bitcoin is used in the right not in crime because the bitcoin is serious we should not ignore because it will help later
Please note that in bitcoin we can not know who owns the address of a bitcoin wallet and until now there has not been a single party that provides services for prevention in case of crime in bitcoin so it is possible if the criminals understand and use this blockchain technology then the possibility very big for the crime. However, I do not agree if this blockchain technology is used for a variety of crimes, this technological development should we use to improve progress in various sectors, especially in the economic field of a country and its people.
Unfortunately, there are circumstances that they use bitcoin as a medium in all negative or fraudulent acitivities which not tolerated by the bitcoins.
It is possible that bitcoin are now used in crimes. Since it's easy to switch from Bitcoin to cash, one can assume it's also fairly easy to launder this money, too. In other words, Bitcoin is a perfect transnational criminal currency.
Considering that bitcoin transactions can't be traced, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Gangs and other major criminals love the anonymity of the Dark Web, which is why so many of them opened up sites that allowed them to trade illicit materials, information, and more through it.
Bitcoin's anonymity meshed perfectly with the Dark Web, and criminal activity bolstered its value significantly.

It’s sort of true, many of us know, that there are some people or organizations that use bitcoin in crimes. It’s so sad, blockchain is a great technology and btc is great but there are plenty of crazy people to abuse it.
Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar. Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins. Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.
These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet. Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage. Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening. Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.
Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.
Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement won’t be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.
I don't think now bitcoin is at that level were it is uses by the illegal workers to make illegal deals because bitcoin now not more anonymous currently because the main reason is that online attention of the transaction is now more by the governments of the countries ,so no chance for the person to use bitcoin for illegal works .These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage.

And also we can see that people are mostly paying tax for the use of bitcoin and everything is in online ,so no one will try to use bitcoin with wrong person .
It was old time when few people were using bitcoin for such types of works which were not good , but now bitcoin is more clear and people are using for trading and payment system .
If it’s not Bitcoin it’s going to be something else. The rise in cryptocurrency has stemmed many alternatives which are much more anonymous than Bitcoin itself. The case of Silk Road shows exactly how people can be tracked down via Bitcoin payments.
All these problems are diseases that need to be destroyed, the misuse of bitcoin as a criminal transaction makes people judge bitcoin as something bad. But here's the decentralized and anonymous bitcoin, superior to other currencies, and abused by criminals.

Bitcoin can be used in some illegal activities in the internet and it is one of its many disadvantages. Bitcoin serves as the payment in the internet for those illegal things they buy online. For example, buying illegal drugs, illegal guns, and many other more activities. As a result of that, the crime rate of a specific place will increase. More people will use bitcoin to do illegal things so it is better for us to be safe always. These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage.

Criminals have used all types of currencies as mediums of exchange, so I don't think it's terribly surprising that they would use Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin does have some features that would make it appealing, but clearly it is just a side-effect of the way cryptocurrency is designed.

It is possible for bitcoins to be used by criminals since it is a digital currency, but the concept is just like the same on fiat, they should ban bitcoins because it is helping other people to earn money to sustain their daily life rather than working on the corporate world with just a small amount of salary.
