Anything that has a value can be used for anything, criminals are attracted to BTC as BTC is not traceable yet. But BTC is not a crime money itself.

Bitcoin has been used for crimes for a long time because then bitcoin has never been controlled by anyone so a lot of hackers and scammers are online on bitcoin.
So that is why you should always be warry of what you are doing.

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.

bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used for anything, innocent bitcoin over criminality cases, the guilty are those who abuse bitcoin as a ransom tool or become a means of payment of crime.

It can be used for everything i agree. They are going to affect the price for us legall users who are just want to make money with it using it. Some people do it that the price goes down.

Some wants that the government must take action against this.

Bitcoin is a successful alternative to traditional money for Internet fraud. Bitcoin is the perfect weapon for a crime. It can be used for drug selling, in money laundering, for hacker attacks and ransom requirement. A single standard for the regulation of the "digital currency" is absent, therefore each country independently determines whether operations with bitcoins are in violation of local laws or not.

Bitcoins were used in crime and money laundering from long time now. There are lots of people who use the anonymity and fast transaction to their advantage. Its really hard to track them down with different rules for different countries.
Yes but it doesn't mean that bitcoin is the only currency that is used in illegal activities.  Before bitcoin there were illegal activities with other currencies and still other currencies are used for illegal activities like money laundering.
Nor do these activities makes bitcoin a bad one. Everyone has it's own choice to do things both legally or illegal, it depends on the nature of the individual using bitcoin.

Every currency is used in crimes like USD euro gold silver then why people think bitcoin is an exception. It is a currency and can be used in crimes as well like a regular currency. So we cannot say this cannot be used in crimes but it is somehow easy to trace money as we have record of each transaction

Bitcoins were utilized as a part of wrongdoing and illegal tax avoidance from long time now. There are bunches of individuals who utilize the obscurity and quick exchange further bolstering their good fortune. Its truly difficult to track them down with various guidelines for various nations
I agree, Bitcoin has always been a method to buy things illegal online and it has always really been used for crimes because it is not being controled.
So i think that it is not really a difference then and now.

it will not be inevitable, in the future surely the criminals, corruptors and mafia will definitely take advantage of Bitcoin to perform their dirty transactions,
hopefully later found a way to trace their dirty transaction ...

No one wonder if this thing doesn't exist. As always all of the things can be used in crimes. Yes bitcoins can be used for crimes and there are always some people who used it to do a illegal thing using bitcoin. It is on human nature whether a person uses it on a good or in bad. Everything under technology has been used in crimes.

Anything that has value can and will be used in any crime. And btc has been used in multiple crimes such as money laundering, drug trafficking, hiring professional killers and more other crimes. We can't do anything about it and we cannot stop it. Just like we can't stop them using cash in their crimes. We have to accept this fact. What's more important is we are responsible on how we use our coins.

Bitcoin is always used for crimes it simply is impossible for the government to see where you got that money from so they can´t do anything about it. They can´t even look in your wallet.

I think that there are a lot of criminal groups using bitcoin to legalize their money that they have stolen. Thats why you see that there are a lot of scammers stealing your coins simply because you can't see who has stolen you. You can get the adress maybe, but you can never block a adress from bitcoin.

This is a dilemma, bitcoin is very safe, practical but anonymous, we never know who is doing bitcoin transactions, I hope the wallet provider can verify the users so it can know the users.

You would be surprised what sort of things can be used as means for exchanging money for facilitation of criminal activity. One example is diamonds. People think diamond are a symbol of love and pureness, but there are powerful people that practically control the industry and have slaves who mine diamonds at the bottom of the system.
Diamonds were completely a asset based criminality. Other than this gold, USD, were used much on illegal transactions and for criminal needs. Recordical data shows USD being much used on criminal activities. Recently bitcoin too has got added to the list. But this is not much used compared to USD.

USD is the biggest currency used for illegal stuff. Online and offline. By a huge margin. Should we ban the USD?
