Not only Bitocin is used in crimes, also fiat currencies is used for this purposes a lot more than using BTC, and long time before even the creation of Bitcoin.
It is always depending in the intentions of the users, not in the currencies themselves.
Topic: Bitcoin Are Now Used in Crimes - page 52. (Read 13138 times)
Let me ask you something - do you think USD is used in crimes? Or EUR? Or any other fiat currency? Every time someone robs a bank, defrauds someone for money, gets it illegally or does anything illegal with it like bribery, buying drugs etc, etc... uses this currency for crime. Yet i don't see anyone talking about it in this way.
So it's like anything else, it's not inherently good or bad, it's just a mean with its purpose and usefulness.

Bitcoin is not the only currency or cryptocurrency which is used in crime. It depends on people's usage and awareness.
But bitcoin is the most because it is so secure and untraceable.

Yes that's true that btc is used in crimes even years before. Once it has gained its value, criminals have seen its use for their illegal transactions. Even though some of them got busted, we can't chabge the fact that a lot of this kind of activities are still happening. Honestly I'm amazed how these criminals adapt their transactions in btc. Don't get me wrong, I despise criminals who brought nothing to our society but destruction of humankind.
Bitcoin can be traced to some extent, and legal authorities that have power to compel tumblers and exchanges to release information can probably get pretty far in tracing people. Certainly more traceable than cash. There is no public distributed ledger for cash transactions.
And cash is used in many, many more crimes than bitcoin.
Any tool can be used for good or evil.

Yes, this is the most obvious option. It is he who first comes to mind when you think about bitcoin crime. Bitcoin crime develops according to the same laws as the ordinary.
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 created to be used as well as possible. only people who can not use it well are using bitcoin for crime. I also do not want to lie to myself that bitcoin can be used for negative things. but when we think positive then we will be able to use bitcoin properly. there must be strong self-control to avoid the worst.These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage.

The same goes for FIAT. Crime will happen no matter what currency but bitcoin is slightly more used in crime due to it being harder to track....but is trackable.
I would say cash is even harder to track.

I'm not surprise about this matter. I mean bitcoin's value is getting higher nowadays so let's expect that a lot of crimes will increase in the internet world. From the bitcoin community itself we have scammers, so there's no guarantee about the safety of our bitcoin. It's all about safety and precautions. Let's help one another!
Yea I have heard about how Bitcoin can be used for criminal purposes because of its privacy level and how well they can hide their payments and stuff. From what I have heard is people can use Bitcoin to hire assassins, buy or sell drugs and many other things because no one would know who is the person behind the screen and people can continue this way without getting tracked about their payments.
as bitcoin became popular way back around 2011 it became a gateway to new generation criminals that extend their average mind to surf the net and make money and transaction out of it without mark that can trace by the government. As bitcoin is decentralize and have anonymity many criminals switch on it as a mode of payment without detection. Not just today that bitcoin have been use in criminal activity but way way back a years ago. These are what people want: Not controlled and not under surveillance of the banks and government.
Unfortunately Bitcoin uniqueness paved the way to those with criminal mind to use Bitcoin in their activities, money laundering, scamming, selling knock offs on-line, any kind of criminal activity bitcoin can be used because one can use this and remain anonymous. When the Government starts to step in and regulate, this will not stop them from using it, they will just think of other ways.
Yes it will happen because bitcoins are also kind of money. And it's a huge advantage for bad people because they will not be caught by the police. How to find the names of these and where they live if bitcoins are decentralized. It is sad to think but bitcoins are used to the evil but we can not do it because we do not know what's happening
Since i remember - Bitcoins have been used to buy drugs in OniontTor network.
Everything in this world have pros and cons, this one is the biggest disadvantage of bitcoin that it is being used by criminals to do illegal activities like money laundering and trade of illegal stuffs. A big hurdle for government is to restrict these criminals and arrest them because transactions are anonymous and it is difficult to locate the criminals from it. BTW after regulation of bitcoin and taking additional measures it is expected that these things can be controlled in future.
And it seems like they have a hard time doing it.
The only one's who are getting arrested are those website wallet owners or trading website companies.
It needs help from the bitcoin holders itself. We are the ones who are being offered to sell our coins in a much better price just so they could do their illegal stuff.
Yes, too much scam. Always becareful
Yes it is used in crimes a lot. I guess cash is also used a lot more.
In fact, crimes are about getting money and Bitcoin offers more anonimity.

Its an old news by the way. I see that in silkroad a couples of years ago bitcoin was used as a payment method for buying drugs and other illegal drugs . Thats is not new that bitcoin is being used by the crime syndicate because they can easily buy anything because of bitcoins animosity.
