Even dust can be used in crimes. There are just people talking whatever against bitcoin to decrease prices or try to control it.
Its true that bitcoin is also used for illegal purposes.But bitcoin couldn't be blamed for that.Even USD is also used for such puposes.It depends upon the person's intention whether this magnificent technology bitcoin is used for good or bad.
Yes, i do believe that bitcoin also used for illegal purposes due to unidentified transaction. The person's identity cannot verified. Therefore theres a great chance of transferring funds that easy.
It always has been. That's one reason why it has such a bad reputation in the media, because back in 2012-2014 it was constantly being on the news for illegal activities. Dark markets to this day still use Bitcoin as the main form of payment, m,any don't accept anything other than crypto. Monero is slowly making an appearance as well.
It’s a very bad and sad news about bitcoin that it is going to use in crime because bitcoin is here to help us so if we study bitcoin in detail it will teach us about good things not a bad things so we need to support bitcoin and stop using bitcoin in bad things because it change a life of thousands of people and I’m sure bad people can effect good people. 
i do firmly believe that bitcoin has been used in illegal trades during its early stages.
and we cant deny this fact.
the features of bitcoin decentralized will surely entice criminals to utilize it for their transactions.
and i also believe that this is still happening right now...

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.

Anything can be used in crimes as long as people wanted it to be used in crimes, that doesnt exempt bitcoin or anything. Bitcoin has lots of help that it could offer to people, but some people are using it in the wrong way, and we cant blame that on bitcoin or the other cryptocurrencies, its people who does it not the coins.
OP made a short brief about connections between bitcoin and crime. I agree with most things he said, people weren't aware of Google, face book, internet before, and internet is the place full with many opportunities. We can talk about it for days, but its a fact that people do that not the bitcoin, internet, Google, bitcoin. All this things should be here to help us in our lives, but some people use it for their own illegal purposes.
Law enforcement agencies will be able to handle new crimes, they are working on that. They need to be ready for new times, and sure they are searching for ways how to control people who use crypto currencies for illegal things. Generally I think that bitcoin is making economy revolution, we need to see revolutions in government sectors too, only like that we can have better future, bitcoin itself can't help a lot if we don't change entire system!
Not only can bitcoin be used for illegal actions but also any means of payment.

This is actually no surprise, as you can hear in the news hackers actually want bitcoin as a payment most of the time and some of the people are using bitcoin to buy something illegal. Like our real currency, it also used for illegal and it is no different. It just totally depends on the person if he/she wants to use it for illegal or not. We cannot control how people use their bitcoin just like money because it is their own currency. So this is not a surprise but people should make a wise decision and not do something bad with bitcoin.

Bitcoin is use in many crimes because it is an online currency that can be use in drugs darkweb deepweb and being abuse by others
Yes no matter how people look at their places they cant track any of transaction that has crimes can committed by users, they can even now who they are because of no profile inserted to that acount.
Any form of currency has illegal users. Users also in bitcoin can also be subject to theft, scams, and frauds. Since bitcoin transactions are untraceable and because of lack of regulation, it became easier for criminals and scammers to perform their evil deeds. One example is when a scammer put a false car advertisement online, and told the perspective buyer to send them money using a Bitcoin ATM. There was no way to cancel the transaction when it was realized that it was a scam, and the Bitcoin were lost forever. It just really depends on how we handle btc and use it. It is still a perfectly respectable and good investment and form of payment.
It is true. And that fact breaks my heart. There are lots of things we can do with bitcoin. Why not use it to good ones?
I've been hearing about crimes where Bitcoin was being used lately. Maybe because it is untraceable since those wallets doesn't serve as bank account where we have a name and other information. Anyone could also send a huge amount in a blink without being questioned by banks or authorities so it is really easy for evil people to use it to pay for illegal activities. I am not sure how but I am hoping that there is a way to prevent this.
I think it can also be used as a crime.
Because today bitcoin has not been recognized by the government, it can not be controlled, criminals can use fraudulent bitcoin in their purchases

Yes, long time ago bitcoin is a "money" to pay crimes action. Because bitcoin can around the world, free, and everyone can do it
anyone can use bitcoin to trade a sale and purchase, if bitcoin is misused for a crime it may be a legal duty to address it, the law must evolve to follow the development of technology. because the crime is currently also following the development of technology.
Many say that bitcoin can be used for crime but I think one day bitcoin can create a program that can track the block path to address the identity of the owner of a bitcoin wallet, if the government uses a crime scenario to prevent others from using bitcoin. 
Silly thing to state. Cash is used in crimes everyday and is still more anonymous than BTC.
