What you said is true. It is a merit of bit coin and a disadvantage. For that part, we think we can make up for it in the future.

I think we should not concern the bitcoin with crime, because without any bitcoin criminality remains high. it all depends on the user bitcoinnya own, just as with money, gold and others

Would you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in  some countries in the world. This is the issue that was being thrown by the EuroPol and the UK Metropolitan Police. According to them bitcoin has played a huge role on the increasing criminality in their area. They added that a huge number of cybercriminals were using bitcoins in their activities.

This just shows that as bitcoin develops both advantages and disadvantages will tag along.

Well it bitcoins actually made money laundering easier for criminals and the likes because of how much bitcoins cost and how untraceable are they to every who needs money transfers with a single tap of a finger. We just have to accept that the advantages of bitcoins can be abused too.

It can and it will always be. Criminals are finding the most convenient way to transact their illegal activities and if bitcoins or any other altcoins for that matter cater that needs, they will not hesitate to use it - it is now up to our enforcers to catch them.

in my opinion not only bitcoin being made access or a means of crime and even any aspect there is always a side of crime in it, maybe the future bitcoin will have or apply rules that can reduce the number of crimes using bitcoin

Crime not only with bitcoin alone can happen in other ways.
Criminals are indeed approaching top companies that demand bitcoin through hacking.
Bitcoin's choice is only an option for criminals we can accept if likes to cheat / banned but it sounds very different. Then we have to say a lot of Scammy or ponzi sites available are criminals several times the reason why they are not there in the long run.

To equate bitcoin with criminal activity is ludicrous; especially compared to the level of criminal activity the United States dollar supports. The activity of the criminal is theirs alone and has nothing to do with the medium that facilitates it.

I think you can't blame bitcoin in their crime rate because crime is always there even though they don't have bitcoin on there place. We can't say that bitcoin causes crime because its a way to earn money not compare to drugs or other crime related things. So its not a cause of crime.

I doubt it. Criminality is everywhere with or without bitcoin. Yes it can be use in illegal act but illegal acts are already existed before bitcoin was born. For me, what ever technology will be invented, if a person has a criminal mind then there will always be a crime.

agree

well as what they say“as long as there is a light, there's always a shadow"
Recently this “Ransomeware" got viral and bring huge negativity on Bitcoin where its anonymous transaction comes in yet is also a Good thing because Bitcoin becomes more popular as they broadcast the malware attack worldwide xD See everything has a good and bad side no matter what it is. Though we cant deny that Bitcoin is at great disadvantage when it comes to illegal activity as well as other cryptocurrencies due its anonymous transactions.

Bitcoin cannot be used with any kind of criminal activities
But we can can agree that with the use of Bitcoins, those who are into ransom has increased their chances of not blowing up their cover.Compared to fiat currency they can only transact within their political bounds but since bitcoin can be used globally without passing any banks cybercriminals can now find a victim in any place in the world using the web.

This is true. Criminals can now buy and do evil stuff freely because no one can knew their identity. And this is one of the thing that I can see as an advantage of using Bitcoin.

Criminals can still do whatever they want.  Even before that bitcoin was not yet created, criminals and their evil doings still executed.  They can do these things if they really want all for the sake of money.  But it is much easy for them to do these things because bitcoin does not need any information coming from its client.  So doing criminality is easy.

Bitcoin is neutral, the same with other technologies invented before. Any technologies can be use in either legal or illegal things. Despite of being a medium of crime, bitcoin is also used in legal businesses, the same with internet where we can find many criminal activities and yet a huge help in many people.

I think the utilization of the bitcoin can decrease the rate of the culpability in light of the fact that a large portion of criminal cases are happen due to the show of the fiat cash while in the bitcoin no one can watch your record that the amount you have. on the off chance that no one think about your wallet then the possibility of the criminal case is additionally low to occur with you.

Evil can happen anywhere, they do not need bitcoin to keep going, as long as the criminal and the tenant of the service determine the commission for his crime, that's where the crime will happen.

Popularity can never scape critics. I dont beleived in such allegation, but of course there is criminality happens, but that is not a problem of bitcoin to solve, becuase even though criminality has being increased. I can say it is only 20% and 80% is on a good activities such as helping people for their dailey income for a living. Its the euroPol and metropolitan police who are concerned to maintained on tracking a criminals. Its a choice of a people if where they wanted to use their time. On bad things or in a good things.

Bitcoin is uses for a lot of good purposes, it is depends on how  people used for good or bad activities. Criminality is issue to a lot of people is doing illegal activities through fiat and there is always a law if they get caught by doing illegal activities. If people used bitcoin for criminality it is their choice, we cannot blame bitcoin here, we dont have law on it because it is decentralized.  Instead, we must be careful on our bitcoin, criminal is everywhere, dont trust anyone.

I think the crime will increase, because bitcoin does not have a government to admit. No one will intervene when we are bitcoin robbed. Because simple bitcoin is not acknowledged
