Since it is decentralized, no one can control its daily transactions. It has a high potential of being a part of almost any kind of business but also in the illegal ones.
But bitcoin transaction is transparent, you cannot avoid the law enforcement only because you use bitcoin for your transactions.

All the details of the Bitcoin transactions are stored in the Blockchain. If you spend sufficient amounts of time and effort, you may succeed in tracing the Bitcoin transactions back to a particular individual or a group of people. And this is how the cops in Denmark detained a few drug dealers. If you want to use a completely untraceable currency, then you need to use Monero or Zcash.

Since bitcoins are not really governed nor traced, it will eventually be used for illegal transactions and such. But it's not different from money. Money is used to fund crime mobs. But bitcoins are used now because it's more easy to use and manipulate since it only just needs the internet to be transafered from one wallet to another.

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.
There's many crime that the bitcoin is within but the most of it i in the cybercrime. They used bitcoin to be part of the crimem they used it as a money. Yes, it is still online ahopping.but they buy illegal drugs,illegal firearms,illegal trafficking and others kind of illegal will gound in this not only that there a shop of body parts too.

in my opinion, bitcoin could be used in crime of terrorism, money laundering, criminal and so on.
 and this crime is a cyber crime, because it is used in the internet world. Bitcoin can also be a game changer that may be for terrorism financing, because of its anonymity. but also bitcoin can be made for the means of investment fraud. Bitcoin is also a blockchain-based digital currency that is a haven for criminals to make transactions.

Yes it is and that is the darkest part of bitcoins. Ico's in china has been banned because of illegal transactions that has been made by some companies and it was a very bad idea to do some sort of things like this because everyone will be affected if government will ban bitcoins in their country.

Not for now only, Bitcoin is being used in crimes right at the start just because of its secure so it's really hard to find out the owner of any transaction cause it's almost anonymous. Because of these cases there are a lot of bad guys are taking advatage of Bitcoin everyday to commit crime like money laundering, tax evasion or drug trafficking. IMO I think this is the reason why Bitcoin still not legalized worldwide and even banned in few countries.

Really this is and was an inevitable thing. Bitcoin is a special case because it does not have a physical form, and while not entirely, untraceable. It paves way for alot of new ways to commit illegal actions such as tax evasion and drug exchange. Governments may be off-put by this fact, but in reality they shouldn't. A basic contrargument is that the US dollar can also be used to do both, it's just that it's a bit different with cryptocurrencies. This shouldn't surprise anyone really.

Bitcoin is digital currency and bitcoin transactions are untraceable.some people may used for crimes also,but i didn't see that type of criminals in real time.i saw in television criminals misusing the bitcoin in last year.
I do not know the news of television that blames the bitcoin, can you tell how it's misused? Because I think it is very dangerous for newbies to join the world of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoins feature doesnt only give advantages it also has disadvantages. Its is advantageous for the people whos clear intention is to have a fast and easy peer-to-peer transaction with small amount or almost no fee transaction. As well as for those criminals where in they can pay illegal transactions with complete anonymity. Disadvantage is, how could we possibly track this kind of criminals or syndicate when everything we do with Bitcoin has no transparency. I dont know maybe theres a way of tracking down this people, but in my point of view its really hard.

for me the one that made bitcoin really expensive these days was its usage in illega activities.numerous have asserted bitcoin during its earlier agle wouldn't have grown to be well-liked if not for using it in crimes.therefore is is absolutely true to say that bitcoin is indeed utilized in offences not only in the present day.but additionally previously and will be in the future.."t

Bruh, trust me. If only a couple of syndicates are using bitcoin for their transactions, the price will be wayyyy higher. You have no idea how much money is going on in illegal activities. I think mostly the price went this high because of the hype. Everyone wants to make money and the nature of cryptocurrencies is that if you invest earlier and you got it for a better deal than everyone else, then you're going to have a lot of money. I don't think it's even safe to say that criminals are using bitcoin today because of its anonymity feature. Sure it's only just a bunch of characters and a public ledger but they are going to be leaving a trail that can some day trace back to them when they use bitcoin. Real money is still way more anonymous than bitcoin since you have no way of knowing where the money that you are currently holding came from unlike bitcoins.

Remember that there are millions/billions of money circulating in the black market. So if they are using bitcoins, then how come the market cap is just this little? Honestly, we would all be rich people if large mafias moved into using bitcoins.

Bitcoin is digital currency. So it will use for the transaction process. Some people use the bitcoin crimes. It only use for transacting the bitcoin. it will easy to transaction. If use the money for the transaction it will not easy. some issue you will face. so that the reason for use the bitcoin to transaction. It will use for future purposes. Bitcoin is Secretly Canute the people for the some process movement.

I think before the existence of any cryptocurrencies, criminality is already in the virtual world, or more in the know with cybercrime, it already exists and many. but with the presence of bitcoin today, cybercrime is increasingly rampant, because the payment transactions they receive, using bitcoin, making it very difficult to track, because the nature of bitcoin is very anonymous
That is right, I can not negate the fact there are many criminal are using Bitcoin for crime. However, this is a dark side of Bitcoin community, we are the Bitcoin's user using Bitcoin for good purpose as transfer money, trading, investing ... and we do not using Bitcoin for any crime purpose. Of course, the government will take advantage this dark side to blame the survival of Bitcoin and do not accept it.

Tracing the criminals is almost impossible in bitcoin right? So why not the government add more security to other end of the transaction which is the product that is illegally sold. There's no perfect solution in this issue but we should be responsible in using cryptocurrency if we want to make it last. Because whether we like it or not, we need the government's approval so they won't ban it.

It is not just Bitcoin and technology. The sad truth is there will always be crime. If criminals think that they can get away with it and make money from some new invention, they will use it to commit crime.

You are absolutely right. It is foolish to blame Bitcoin for the crimes. If Bitcoin was not there, then the criminals might have used some other form of anonymous payment. And if I am not wrong, Bitcoin is rapidly losing its value among the criminals. Now they are preferring completely anonymous currencies such as Zcash and Monero over Bitcoin.

We can not avoid it, especially that bitcoins are a kind of money. And we can not stop it because bitcoins are decentralized. Transactions that come with bitcoins are difficult to find out who the people are. So what we can only do is to make a law to fight it. And if we are aware of illegal acts we should not join. Today it is our only thing to do. But in the future there is a way to find the names of people involved in illegal activities
