Criminals use more dollars than bitcoins. The currency can't help being used by criminals.

How can you know that? if ever there was a survey that happened. Because I do not think anyone knows for sure criminals, more use dollars or bitcoin. But I think because the dollar is better known, the majority of criminal use this currency. IMO

But I agree if the currency can not be considered criminal. Because currency only objects used by criminals and money should not be blamed.

well it's easy to know,from when dollar was created compared to bitcoin,and if you look back,there's so many drugs lord before bitcoin was created,so they'll definitely using dollar to do an international transaction,that's enough to give you reference that dollar is even worse than bitcoin

We can't blame it to some kind of currency, people worldwide using dollar in their life because it so famous just like euro and pounds sterling.
Criminals and police could use dollars or another currency as they want, for something bad or good, same thing as bitcoin. But bitcoin has advantage to used by criminals due to it's anonymous and fast transaction.

Hey guys,

2 weeks ago my friend asking me,
'What's your job now,i said trading bitcoin bro'

He surprised about my statement.
I ask 'why?why you looks like that'
He said,'it possible?money for criminal like that can be used for trading?'

I answer,'why not?that legal,thats money is depend ur purpose,buy or sell something,or you will donation for terrorist.

Any have same statement like me?

Yeah,i have the same statement like you,but with better english. Grin

There is no such thing as a "currency for criminals".Criminals use mostly USD,is the US dollar a

"criminal currency"?Off course not.

If you mark everything that criminals use as currency, then fiat is the currency for criminals, Gold is the currency for criminals, Diamonds is the currency for criminals, etc. Everything with value can be used as a currency tool for criminals. But as always, Bitcoin is the one being named in the media....

you have to gave great explanations to your friend that not all bitcoin users are the criminals also bitcoin made not for criminal activities because much bitcoin users is good person but as long as it doesn't illegal into your country i think you must ignore your friend opinion

Obviously not all bitcoin users are criminals or most of them are not, but maybe there are a few doing evil things using bitcoin but that does not make the coin a criminals coin, even there are criminals using fiat currencies in the world but we do not call fiat the criminals currency because we know that we cannot do anything about that as long as someone has the money it is upto him if how he is gonna use that money.

Ah, criminals might use Bitcoin. And of course, criminal governments would not be above stealing wealth:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-15/wealth-tax-looms-greeks-forced-declare-all-assets-tax-authority

The Greek government will want to know how much cash is held by each citizen, even if below 100 euro.

I believe that we have all learned that many governments have criminal tendencies.

Its not about surveys, but the amount of money estimated in all worldwide criminal activites exceed Bitcoin capacity by a lot - the Bitcoin blockchain dont have such wealth transfers recorded even if Bitcoin was used just for criminal activites, which it is not of course. Probably majority of people (including criminals) going to use Bitcoin in future, simply because of Bitcoin better properties, but now its under 1%.

I wann bring here too forum,but he said he not neccesarry about forum,because he said he's know about currency :/

if the third party that use bitcoin are retarded and do not invest in proper security, and have big hole all over the place, it's not bitcoin fault lol, the same for criminal that use it, bitcoin can be used by everyone just like cash, it's not bitcoin that choose to be used by crimnal it's just more convenient for them to use it, because of anonimity, but cash offer the same anonimity

You can use bitcoin to buy candies and US dollars to buy drugs, that's up to you, the money doesn't spend itself.

I agree with that. Bitcoin cant count as a criminal case unless used it at bad things. For example, you bought some drugs that are illegal in your country, that will count as a crime. But if you use your bitcoin to buy a Legit Car, then that will not count as a crime.

Yeah and I think the number of People using Bitcoins for criminal Things is limited. There are definitely more People using Fiat for criminal activities than Bitcoins.

any type of currency that could be used for criminal, but in this case depends on us who use it for any purpose.

so I do not think bitcoin is money to criminals because all the money could be used for the criminals.

I haven't really been in any discussions where I'd have to go and refute why Bitcoin isn't a currency for criminals, but I have thought about it in the past and basically my thought process is quite similar to yours. Bitcoin is just another financial tool, and if criminals wanted to trade money and buy things they wouldn't have to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin just adds a bit more of a layer of anonymity to everything.

Fungtion of bitcoin depend on people who use it, because it can be used for bad something and it can be used for good something. I you must explain to your friend about it. Because i am sure your friend don't understand about bitcoin and another cryptos coins.

Why do you ask such questions? You are member already and here we have many threads about connection between bitcoin and criminal activities, how you didn`t saw all that?
Bitcoin is currency like any other, and bitcoin can be used for good and bad, like dollar or euro.. you already saw some very good comments about this, don`t be lazy, search around forum a bit more and you can find many useful information`t about how to explain to people what is bitcoin, and how to explain them that bitcoin is not criminal, its just people that use bitcoin in evil purposes.
Now you can lock the thread, cause you made a "spam thread".

Young but I'm not that bold

if someone labeled bitcoin as criminal money then ask him why he did not say that dollars are criminal money too? most of drugs and weapons and terrorist funds are in dollar not in bitcoin! do not blame someone sells knives for a crime is done by knive

these people are idiots who think this way about bitcoin, their thought process is like this:
they look at themselves and see they are not using bitcoin, and they don't even know what bitcoin is. then thinking more they recall a faded memory of reading something somewhere about someone who used bitcoin to do an illegal act like buying drugs so they make the conclusion that bitcoin is for criminals.
and this fault is on the media for showing bitcoin this way.

At the moment, bitcoin has really limited use. Most likely the terrorist/criminal will still need to cash out to fiats before they can buy what they need. At the end of the day, fiats are actually the real currencies used by them.
