I'll be locking this thread since I already know the answer to my question.  We have a different point of views regarding the use of bitcoin in terms of corruption. Most people say that it can be a way for people to use it to hide their money since it's transaction is directed to blockchain and because bitcoin is decentralized and pseudo-anonymous. My take on this is that greedy people will always find a way to launder money and do whatever it takes to not get caught. Amongst many other ways, bitcoin is a good way to do so.

Many say that bitcoin can lead to corruption, but remember that these currencies are a choice for investors. With the current situation, Bitcoin is supposed to be a good choice for hackers to steal the money from the owners easily.

I think so. Because with bitcoin it has become very convenient to get bribes. Now you do not have to give cash, just throw on bitcoin address.

It depends: it is clear that bitcoin can be used to pay bribes, but with the fact that every transaction remains registered forever, it is probably too risky. Cash is always better.
Yeah everything thing that  has value will be used as a medium of corruption like bitcoin because you can give bitcoin as a bribe to any one but  good things in bitcoin this traceable, because transaction can be trace

That possible in a way.. But still its up to you if you want to be corrupted or to be a corruot like the others do.. But do you think they can do that here in bitcoin? For sure the organizers here are monitoring this every now and then right? Oh well you can't really tell actually specially in money matter..

Everything can be used to pay a corrupt politician, so obviously also the bitcoin.
And with the fact of being anonymous, it seems clear to me that it is an excellent tool for corruptors and corrupts.

difficult, how? all bitcoin transactions are recorded in a blockchain ledger, so everything can still be checked again. but for washing, it can be bitcoin. because the mafia can put all the money into bitcoin, because bitcoin is very expensive and definitely will not take up much space in their wallet account.
The fluctuating bitcoin price keeps the corruptors afraid of saving money in bitcoin, so I'm not sure that the presence of bitcoin also leads to corruption, they are more comfortable saving money in overseas banks that are definitely safe and of greater interest.

Some will say that it is possible because it involves money but for me it is not. Corruption is due to the abuse of power particularly with an instituion or in the government. But since Bitcoin is decentralized, surely this is far from reality to happen because it is not controlled by anyone or anything. It is an open source system and nobody has the power to do such thing.

Bitcoin will lead to corruption if the government will not use the profit from cryptocurrency to improve the countries economy. I like the idea of japan to use bitcoins for the improvement of their economy because in this way people will get wealthy in their community.

Everything that misleads will lead to corruption, becoming greedy is one reason of doing so, its not the amount of what have you corrupt or starting to steal, the moment you start things wrong will lead to corruption too, so my answer is yes, corruption happens anywhere sometimes people are not aware but they are doing it.

Yes it can lead to corruption because bitcoins can bring wealth to different people and if cryptocurrency would not be used for good then it can actually destroy a country or start a war on different countries in the future.

corruptions can happen in every where. so, it is possible. in my opinion

It is, only if someone who trying to do corruption are smart enough to send their money in form of bitcoin into anyone else's address without even being noticed by the authorities or an anti corruption institution. The fact that blockchain is really transparent that all the transactions saved up forever to the blockchain will prevent any corruption, everyone could monitor the movement of the funds, you want example, see all those ICO that's funded through cryptocurrencies and see how the communities or investor are always noticing if there's any movement in specific address.
If blockchain of Bitcoin system can track the source whom are the owner of that address, you can not know is that address really from people of the government or from normal people.
However, Bitcoin has more security for its user and it keeps private information for those who want to hide this information.
Unless we create new system use blockchain to development, I think so.

We all know that too much want of money is considered as greedy and greed leads to corruption it is because those people wasn't contented on what they have so they used to be one of the corrupt people present in the society especially in the government.I believe that Bitcoin has nothing to do with the corruption,but maybe yes it can because all the transactions of bitcoin are anonymous and the corrupt people needs such type of platform to save their black money and to transfer them anywhere without taxes and without government consideration. Everything can be use either in positive of negative way, this is the negative use of bitcoin to do corruption.. This is most of the time described as an issue by users who has the willingness to invest but fear and stay away because of the decentralized system paving path for such activities.

When we talking about money corruption is always behind. Bitcoin can easily being the reason or tool for bad people , criminals or just corrupted government.
Anything that can be considered as a tool to make money can be use for corruption, it's the will of the users and bitcoin is just a simple tool.
Bitcoin is money so it can be use for both legal and illegal activities, that is very simple, I hope people will be educated about the real purpose of bitcoin.
there is always a way to do corruption but if bitcoin is used in a country it will reduce corruption, because bitcoin owned transparency will make officials think twice for corruption
