Now bitcoin get added to this list. Ransomware attackers asked their payments only in bitcoins.
Australian government is thinking of regulating bitcoin currency because they think decentralised bitcoin currency is getting used in drug trafficking,cyber crime as well as in money laundering businesses.
Russian police arrested three businessmen with 300sim & bank cards, who were running an illegal bank with round $9 million worth of the crypto-currency.

What did u expect since it's the latest modern hot cake
Can you give me the source of the article? because it will really help your opinion.
Bitcoins are anonymous, so bitcoin can be exploited by criminals and the government can not track criminal minutes. This is why some countries banned bitcoin. 
Criminal have been using Money since the invention of money, but that didn't stop people using money or governments and authorities to discourage people in using money, and it shouldn't be the case with crypto currencies or bitcoin either.
I think only problem governments have bitcoin is the taxes, without taxes, governments cannot run, hence they see a thread in the rise of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is decentralized currency,so some betting sites,porn sites accepting the bitcoins.criminals also enjoying the decentralized facility,criminals also can do anonymous transactions. this is very bad problem to bitcoin.
This is especially possible because bitcoins are also a kind of money. Hopefully Indeed many have been victimized by evil related to bitcoins. It's one of the tools to use In bitcoins to make a payment In an investment that's the best way to get rid of us. It is difficult for lawmakers to make it because bitcoins are decentralized and there are no representations of the founders of the investments.
Bitcoins are exploited by criminals and criminals use bitcoin for criminal transactions, but bitcoin is anonymous and the government can not find criminals. In this digital age, this is inevitable.
Use of bitcoin is to fulfill its human aim and not for crime.But bitcoin is also being used for crime. Some hackers hack the computer's computer data to recover and ask them for bitcoin.Last year the data hack has come out.
Yes, nowadays it’s being used in crime, they buy and sell online and pay by bitcoin. Because it’s untraceable. So police can’t get clue to caught them. I think it’s dangerous.
It is really dangerous because many people are being trick or scam from this fake bitcoin sites and maybe this is one of the reason why the government of aome coutries banned bitcoin because of this crimes. Like just you said they are untraceable so they cannot put to jail for the crimes that they had done.
that is also one of the risks that we have to take, internet is vulnerable for this kind of activity, but i still have hope for btc, the people behind bitcoin will surely come up with a system for bitcoin users not to be hacked by these thieves, we must secure our codes and be wiser in investing.
Yes, bitcoins are being used in crimes. so what?
fiat has been used far more to facilitate illegal activity, for far longer. you cant really be mad the the anon nature of bitcoin, while it does facilitate crime so does the anon nature of cash (which is why it is the number one choice of criminals, worldwide).what bitcoin does do is provide a digital, or at least cashless means of making an illicit transaction. while cash is pretty handy for up close, it doesnt do so well when you need to purchase something from afar. I cant stick cash into my computer, and its note really safe to mail cash.
hence bitcoin.

yes, I do not know if there is a right or a law that defends bitcoin, in case of theft would surely blame the hacker and can not do anything about it.
Although bitcoin has many shortcomings, it is used by criminals, but it is undeniable that it will bring great convenience to the future world, and will make the world more transparent in the future. It's going to be powerful.
We shouldnot attack bitcoin,before the advernt of cryptocurrency,are they not using the fiat currency to commit crime?
actually bitcoin have even used for crimes activities and illegal activities since beginning of its launched time.
you can search on Google that many people use bitcoin to cover drugs transactions since beginning of bitcoin 's existence.

Indeed, I know that a lot of artists are using btc for selling medicines or perhaps worse. But the point is that government can not prohibit it simply because it is oblind cash and it’s so hard to track it.
Sad thing about this world is Crime is always used by anything for example Bitcoin, Money, Etc. Only thing I ever want to see and wish for is Bitcoin use for something good and proud of beside the ugly thing like crimes.
But it can not be denied that this is one of the causes of its fire. 
It is true that bitcoin has often been used for criminal,but that was in the past. Now, bitcoin transactions are more common in the exchange and online shops. Actually the number of criminality using bitcoin is decrease, so bitcoin now is have good image.
