The funny thing is any currency can be used to buy these things which are seen as illegal in some places while in others they are not.
So it all comes down to crossing the line of ethics in which these devices of going against ones countries own law is in view of whether it is right or wrong in the authorities eyes of those governing countries. Thats all really.
You cant just ban bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and expect these problems to magically just go away.
That is just plain absurd.

That's right, criminals will always find a way to do illegal businesses, with or without Bitcoin. Also, if some crypto should be banned in this regard, it's not BTC. Criminals realized long ago that they can be tracked because of using Bitcoin, and started using Monero (XMR) for thier transcations. Other so called "privacy-oriented" cryptocurrencies include Dash (DASH), ZCash (ZEC), Verge (XVG) and Bitcoin Private (BTCP). The developers claim keeping their network users' identities and their activities completely hidden from prying eyes of everyone, including police. If they are so inclined to ban crypto, governments should ban those in the first place and leave Bitcoin alone.
Philippines war on drugs entered a new phase as drug Syndicates are now using bitcoin to transact and avoid detection from the government. PDEA(Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) recently found out that most organized Drug syndicate are using the dark web to transact to each other. It's clear that some countries are slower at adopting new technologies and these drug syndicate took the opportunity to make their transactions much easier without being detected by the government. here is the link for more details: https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2019/06/11/1925535/pdea-drug-syndicates-use-dark-web-bitcoin

I think it's inevitable... Those drug syndicates will always find a way to keep the business running without getting caught. And I think it's also one of the negative side of crypto. They're using it for illegal purposes and giving it a bad reputation. I just hope, it won't affect the use of bitcoin and other crypto in the Philippines.
there will always be that person who even very bright and clean projects that should benefit humanity will be used with malicious intent. the whole history of mankind is built in such a way that someone will do well, and someone will deceive. It is through the prism that you can look at Bitcoin, because someone uses it for good purposes, And someone in criminal activity ..
Not only in the Philippines the Human Being and trickster guy, There are many more transactions than we think. 
Yes man im missing the old world before bitcoin.there was no crime, everyone was happy, respectfully.i dont want to live here anymore with evil bitcoin.
No crime? Are you serious? A lot of people or let's say criminals are taking advantage of the decentralized crypto currency in the past. In fact there are a lot of people that became popular since they are caught in the deep web using btc to sell and buy things there. If you don't want the btc you are seeing right now, you can just leave your btcs.

How can you really be so sure OP? If this is really happening then it will be difficult for the authority to track drugs transaction related crimes. But, I think that government are already conducted a study making the possible solution for this problem. Probably it will be the reason why blockchain and other altcoins are being abused by the clients.
In my opinion Dark Web and Drugs have become a normal use if you talk about this with Bitcoin. What becomes more complicated is the government now, Affairs with real people only know a small part of the Blockchain Technology. And also additionally with the politics can make blockchain and cryptospace become sick.
I have a remedy to change peoples minds about Bitcoin and Crypto Currency in general 
This is truly saddened about bitcoin being used on these kind of unethical ways by group of criminals and this is not new to us all even before bitcoin was used on several illegal acts. Bitcoin has greater purpose and uses and could make our lives even better, in a good way. We just have to accept that we cannot control anyone to use it for good or bad, it's just the negative and dark side of bitcoin, that is. But overall bitcoin is a great innovation and everyone adopters should be proud of.
Bitcoin is indeed a good technology that makes it very easy to conduct financial transactions. Naturally bitcoin is used for positive transactions. If bitcoin is used for negative transactions, it will reduce the self-esteem and popularity of bitcoin. I am afraid that public trust in bitcoin will be eroded again. As technology connoisseurs, we should be wiser in utilizing existing technology for positive activities. Don't let us participate in damaging the morale of the nation with drugs.
The people especially for those who consider that bitcoin is often to be use as a dark activity should be understood that all currency can be use as illegal activity not bitcoin only. Don't only see bitcoin is new currency so as they are free to give a negative feedback to the function of bitcoin even if compare with the using of money fiat bitcoin is a safe way to be use as payment system because we can track all our transaction transparently which mean the government can see activity of their citizen who use bitcoin. This is like an attack in order to new people who will buy bitcoin will not gonna happen, many people don't like bitcoin and we should not give more replies to them, assuming this is just a trial.
Many of the member here are right about what is really happening into it. Those drug users and drug pushers are just using bitcoin as their tool for the transactions. Bitcoin is not the real thing there but it involves.
There's always consequences in anonymity this is the example of it. The government is fixing this and making a solution into it for sure. We as a bitcoin user we don't really have the power to do something big about it but the only thing we can do is to make them understand what really bitcoin is.

Btc would be popular if we could stop using btc for illegal anonymous transaction. Now most of the people think that btc is the easy way to hide identity and to deal with illegal items like ammo, drugs and porn. Older citizens think that btc was created for illegal purpose only. But honestly, btc is more usuable than that. Underlying block chain tech is a revolution. But our greed and dishonesty will make btv suffer. It is our fault
You are right but you can't control others, their decisions and thinking.
People will always use any chance to cheat others and it's nothing we can do it about it.
We should promote bitcoin to others and also explain about it very well.
People are always doubtful about new technologies but they will eventually accept it, when they understand it, I have no doubt about it.

This was to be expected as everyone knows about the existence of anonymous cryptocurrencies.It is the dark world that pushes many people away to use cryptocurrencies.It's really a problem.Let's see how will behave the FATF.Yet they must take some appropriate steps.
Money laundering through bitcoin by syndicate groups is a real problem for some countries. This is a very serious problem that need to be resolved by governments as soon as possible. Some countries such as India already planning to ban bitcoin with the same reason.
