I do not use bitcoin for anyting bad. I use it to buy computers and graphics cards to do some mining.

Yes so am i. I never used bitcoin in bad things. Used it to trade and have more profit and its quiet obvious that users used the bitcoin in good ways and activities. And also it depends to the people using it, if they want to use in a good or bad way.

the same for me to be honest, in my opinion bitcoin should be used only for good things and never bad

So how are we going to prevent it?the fact is that we cannot contol the actions of others and If we want bitcoin to become mainstream,we cannot expect it tobe used by good people only

I say we should only bother worrying about whether bitcoin is used for good when fiat currencies are only used for good. Welp, given the way politicians use fiat, both officially and unofficially, I guess we can never expect that to happen. Nevermind normal every day huxters, swindlers, drug pushers etc.

yes that is a fact that bitcoin can be use for both good and bad activities as every fiat currency is use for both good and bad purposes, therefore there much some people who will be using bitcoin for good and there may also be some people who will be using bitcoins for bad purposes.

Agree! It depends on the person which when or where he/she used it for. Bitcoin is bitcoin and bitcoin is money so you can buy anything on it, so the choice is on your hands whether you used it in bad things or in good things. But all of the fiat is already used in illegal activities so also bitcoins.

Bitcoin can be used for as much good as fiat can be used for, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Giving bitcoin to people, using bitcoin to start business that helps people, investing with bitcoin in businesses that help people, what else can you think of?

I do not see why bitcoin could not be used for good?! There is great opportunity out there to allow bitcoin to be used for good, people just need to stop trying to scam others and tell others about it. This will drive the price up and then everyone wins.

That is right. The bitcoin is just a tool, just like the gun, that can be used for good causes or bad causes.

Well because of anonymity of bitcoin they can use bitcoin for dark market places where you can found all illegal that you can buy there.. using bitcoin..
This is one of the problem in bitcoin thats why some people are still not trusting bitcoin to invest because its risky..

Bitcoin is just the currency mostly, I seen multiple people making donations with it so I guess that's a good thing, It's not the currencies fault that some people use for illegal things, The currencies responsibility is enabling people to buy/sell things, The people who determine what they will use it in.

It is still too early to say that. I can't see bitcoin as stable nowadays. But still, we are hoping for it to show its full potential.
A lot of businesses will still pop up and help with its market's growth. Just keep up and wait.

This is stable around 600$ from the 800$ in halving period. So do not worry about that buddy. Price will increase with some value at the time of Christmas and new year holidays. So have little patience towards that and use that for make profit.

If you want to get a short answer then it is a yes, bitcoin is just another currency like others where we can use it to buy and sell or trade and because of some people that use it for illegal things but we can not to stop them.

things make bitcoin frequently used for illegal activity are because its anonymous
people not required to show their identity to create a bank account called wallet
send money thousands dollar without have to reveal who are them and other anonymous things in bitcoin
this make bitcoin as favourite currency for bad guys

One question

Who defines what is good or bad? Is there only one definition? (ok 2 questions Grin

)

Nothing defines good or bad, but we define good or bad by what is good for us as a society in general and what is bad.
Without getting in philosophic debates, Bitcoin, just like any other currency, can be used for good or bad. Just like a gun, you can shoot the bad guys or shoot innocent people, it's not the gun's fault.

Apparently not, both the article linked and the OP made a blanket assertion that Bitcoin is, at present, only used for bad things. And I disagree with your assessment that majority opinion matters. That means that if more than half of a population in a given jurisdiction decide that some activity of yours is "bad", then they will force you to stop under threat of official violence. That's highly questionable morality; if the activity isn't causing harm or loss, there is no justification for such behaviour, it amounts to nothing more than arbitrary bullying

Each of us define what is good or bad, people have different views about it. Generally if you hurt anyone with your actions that is bad thing, everything else what you do is I think OK.
I don`t think gun is a good thing generally, gun can just create suffer, in any way if it`s used. Who will tell who is bad and who is innocent? Gun as a thing is a bad product, anyone who use it is a bad person. There is better ways to deal with problems.
We have governments and laws, we have different rules. They define what is good and what is bad.

Bitcoin can be used for good and for bad like any other currency. I mean if you are spending bitcoin on for example charities then you could already argue you are using bitcoin for "good" so it all depends how you look at it.

Yes 'm agree with you because now many are using bitcoin for good and this one of example i find http://www.coindesk.com/save-children-now-accepting-bitcoin-donations/
