does anyone of you know (even) just one person who has been arrested or had some troubles with the cops after trading bitcoin whatsoever? Everyone who let's himself get paid in btc, buys btc,... that are not freshly mined, will have an x% chance that those bitcoins have been 'used' for other purposes in the past. But except in the case that you can 'prove' which addresses belong to who (which is really not that hard to take in account if you were to use them of 'other' purposes), I'm not quiet sure what anyone can do against you just 'trading' or 'sending' btc. Don't think you are completely anonymous but if you think a bit about where you get, and where you send your btc, there won't be much ppl that can retrace it back to you, let alone prove what you might have bought with them...

well Bitcoins from the very start, i saw it can be use for legal and illegal activities.
since this is very convenient,safe, secure and unknown identity it will be easy for a bad people to use this
for illegal transactions activities. Smiley

Bitcoins has all the features to used for illegal activities. I wonder if the world Big terrorists invest in bitcoin, the value of bitcoins will rise to a next level. Bitcoins does not disclose the identity of a person and this is the one thing which is required for all illegal activities.

I'm curious now what they called the bitcoin from illegal activities. I know it but just forgot the term they called it.  Just like the bitcoin from alphabay and other sites from tor. I wanna know how they make it become clean bitcoin except using mixers. Maybe there is a wallet now that will make it a fresh bitcoin without the stain from illegal activities. Or it still the mixers they used?

Well, bitcoins are definitely used for illegal activities. Especially on the dark web, dealing with drugs, guns, hitman services and stuff like that. Another example would be the British pedo who used BTC as payment.

But bitcoin is not solely used for illegal activities. A lot of people use it for legit purposes.

Tainted coins is what they call it as far as I know.

No, tainted coins are btc addresses written on a maxi pad and worn while jogging.

Bitcoin is always connected to illegal activities.Cause of its anonymous transactions and wireless transactions.Bitcoin are use to buy drugs online buy weapons and to some pornsites.Bitcoins can be use in all illegal activities online thats why bitcoin from illegal activities.Because bad people benefits of its features.

Well it should not be that way. Half inteligent crimals should know that bitcoin is NOT anonymous, and how to make their btc transactions less tracable.
i agree that bitcoin is not really anonymous even criminal use mixer there some way to trace it if they will not think of it seriously
but if you will think about it bitcoin is much better to use than those centralized currency even if your not criminal

I think they are all going to be considered the same but the source is what needs to be traced before they were "tainted". I don't think the coins would be called tainted after they are unloaded by the source.

That's true, Anonymity is one of a most important reason why bitcoin is always connected to illegal activities, Maybe anonymity it's made for secure their user but has been widely misused for now.

It doesn't matter whether or not Bitcoin is used for illegal activities, the United States Dollar, the Euro, gold, silver, all other kinds of currencies are also used in illegal activities and no-one else has an issue with that. It should be no more different for Bitcoin. If someone uses Bitcoin for illegal activities, yes, it is an issue and there should more than likely be consequences, but it should be no more severely punished than if someone was using the Dollar or Euro.

Yes many bad people taking advantage for that unknown identity or we usually called "being anonymous". Bitcoin is being use as a main currency in deep web to do transactions like buying drugs,illegal firearms and other stuff. So it's resulting for the bitcoin to get a bad image Sad

It is much logical to say that because block chain can be tracable and all their transactions as well maybe some criminals is more knowledgeable than us as they use bitcoin to hide their activities, and most of them are working it behind and everything is on plan accordingly, they can do multiple and lots of exchange transaction from one hash to another to hide the transaction and even harder to know where its coming and to go.

Its used for criminal activities but what many people already said is that every currency is and I think we cannot stop this.
The fact is that its maybe easy with the bitcoin but with other currency's it can also be done easily because it also a sort of untraceable who is behind it.
