it's not a problem for bitcoin
it's just the act of a person who uses bitcoin.
bitcoin is a free currency in use for any transaction and only government regulations prohibit it.

Bitcoin was born for the illegal activity at the start , eventually people are using it for legal activities like trading or transfering , it's still being used for illegal activities everyday and noone can stop it because it's a part of Bitcoin ( cause of the anonymous feature).

From recent news in India it is heard that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..I know its a currency and it is also used as a normal money... but these can create a bad space in people's mind that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..so they will not use bitcoins... Conclusion is that BTC is also a currency which is having a high value in the market..and bitcoins must not be used in these illegal activity which can reduce its usage and value.
Not really we all know that bitcoin is made to be a currency and it is legal and it doesnt really do bad thing that only thing is the ne who uses it we all know that it is a virtual currency meaning we could use it and send money in the world using it then the thing is terorist is using it because it is virtual they can use it in illegal transaction.

Well, it is not the problem with Bitcoin but the human involved. There are also cases whereby people buy and sell drugs or involve in any illegal activities using fiat.

He's right. It doesn't really make a lot difference with fiat money. You can traffic humans, buy drugs, and use it for weapons. It boils down to how humans use these currencies, may it be good or bad. I can use bitcoins to but whatever stuff I want, but that doesn't make bitcoins the villain here.

Reinventing Decentralised Finance on BSC

I have no doubt that Bitcoin is used in exchange of illegal activities. Before Bitcoin become mainstream, Bitcoin was used on the black market. It is safe to use because you are anonymous. With the popularity of Bitcoin, I guess many more are now using this in purchasing illegal things without us knowing.

The biggest recorded case of Bitcoins being used for illegal transactions was the exposure of the Silk Road website on the dark web. This site was used for selling drugs, firearms, and other illegal items. Transactions on the site were completed using Bitcoins, which led many people to think that this virtual currency was tied too strongly to illegal uses.

Yes it can be used illegally, it is mostly used on deep web, dark web and scams because it is untraceable and irreversable for transactions. I think those who says it is not are unaware.

It was very sad to know that this illegal activities are possible to happen because bitcoins is universal and everyone can use it, Some other people are saying that bitcoins is only use for illegal transactions but for those people who are using it for living is just obeying the laws not to do anything bad so we can still enjoy the wealth that bitcoins is giving to us.

If you think something that is used for criminal or illegal activities can interfere with the development of something, you are wrong. Because if you're right, we will not enjoy the internet, the police will not use fire weapon, doctors will not use alcohol and much more (hope you understand what I mean). Thus, something used as a means of illegal acts is one part of the black and white. Because everything has its black and white sides for balance. Therefore, this will not have a big effect,
Yes some people use bitcoin in illegal activity, so thats the reason why some people is not fully trust bitcoin and why some government ban it. Also it can affect the growth of bitcoin but even there are disadvantages of it, there are many people are still shown interest to it.

Even before when bitcoin is not popular there are illegal activity before, especially right now bitcoin is much higher value, they can use it as payment now in illegal activity or in crime in some hideden website.

These illegal things should stop since it may affect the groqth of bitcoin. Even we want it or not, once these illegal things pops up on social media or news, bitcoin will have a negative image in its users. They will view it as a source of crime and not as a source of passive income.

That is the sad part about bitcoins. Drug lords and cartel leaders recently have been using bitcoins as a form of payment for their drugs. This is because bitcoins are untraceable and are decentralized so no matter how much money or how much drugs some people buy, the feds and the banks won't give a damn because it is not money they're dealing with.

I hope we will not support the bad activities that involved bitcoin because it can be a cause for the bad image for the bitcoin. Maybe it reduce the users and others just make them to scared to used bitcoin because it is only for bad habit. Let's not used the bitcoin for bad activities vut for good doing like donate bitcoin for some charity to feed the poir

Bitcoin is just a currency and it's usage is depend on human's mind. I also heard so many criminal activities by Bitcoin. It is not fault of Bitcoin, it is because of human.

The technology is innocent, the guilty are those who use technology, and bitcoin itself has no problem, and bitcoin is now rarely used for illegal activities,

It is not new. Happened a lot of time and is still happening.

It cannot be stopped since bitcoin is currency that is not easily traced or you could just say the transaction was gor something else.

No one will now what the payment is for. Add the large value of it now. It will be easy to pay even trucks of weapons or drugs.

bitcoin can indeed be used for illegal activities such as money laundering, but that's all if bitcoin is in the hands of the wrong people, because bitcoin activity can not be tracked by any country

Since Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and payment system where the transactions take place between users directly without the need of an intermediary. The transactions made are being known only by the users and can not be tracked by the authorities especially the government. Because of this, illegal transactions/activities may take place.
Bitcoin does not have some of it used for illegal activity ..
It is not true and bitcoin is going popular for this al people know bitcoin right now and they know bitcoin will be legal all time. Not only bitcoin but it is right time o clear all people mind. Bitcoin is beings use for all kind of acts and some of them use to buy things with bitcoin and some use bitcoin to secure their future so bitcoin is best all time and it will give me benefit if I will make all legal things possible with bitcoin and not to use for bad or negative acts.
