I do not think so. Criminals will exist anywhere. Where there is money, where there are criminals. But bitcoin is not accepted by the government. There will be no one to protect your interests when robbed bitcoin.

I don't think that because criminality and bitcoin are not directly related to each other. Infact the decentralization and anonymity of BTC has made it perfect for all people who want to avoid high bank taxes and do not want to be controlled by corrupt political. Bitcoins are not found to increase crime rate in any society. They are just a mode of payment.


Anything that can be a form of payment by criminals are a good target by them to use in their illegal transactions - that is really the hard truth that we need to accept and leave the catching with these criminals by our enforcers.

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.

I think none of them has something to do with each other, I bet more crimes are involving directly United States Dolar than BTC.

We know the bitcoin share still used on the darkweb compared to 1 year ago? Or is that impossible to calculate?

Criminals are active all over the world with bitcoin or without bitcoin. Theres a chance of using btc in crime but my point is that even without btc they can do a crime any time.

In every human aspect of invention, there would be people who will use it as the mean to outsmart the controlling body. I am not surprised that bitcoin is now widely used in those transactions. Sadly to say that it ruins the image of bitcoin and cryptocurrency itself in this matter.

Illegal doings are everywhere. If there's an opportunity there's a way. We can't stop criminality all we gonna do is the opposite way. Make things happen in a good way. Have an investment and use the money from it to your family and grow yourselves from it.
I believed that it's a nature of human being that if they have a chance to grow in a community in terms of money they will do everthing to have it even if the way of earning it is bad and illegal.

Criminals will use anything that they want as a form of payment - either bitcoin, fiat cash, properties, artworks, and the like. It is really not our concern how they are going to use bitcoin for themselves though because that is really the original concept - to be free from any regulations.

i think the use of the bitcoin can reduce the rate of the criminality because most of criminal cases are happen because of the show of the fiat money while in the bitcoin nobody can watch your account that how much you have. if nobody know about your wallet then the chance of the criminal case is also very low to happen with you.

Criminals has been present even before bitcoins were ever invented. But the possibility of bitcoin being used by these criminals is there because they can use it to finance crimes (drugs, terrorists). But i dont think that these will impede the ever growing popularity of bitcoin.

Can be said these are the 2 sides we have to admit, the good side is the free bitcoin we use without identity while the negative side of many illegal and criminal transactions using bitcoin, we hard to prevent because it is difficult to identify the user.

Bitcoin give as a good and many advantages like having a job for those who are unemployed and for those who need it as there extra income. We need to simplify that bitcoin help us to be a better person and for those who use it in criminal act that is part of their personality. Because even not using bitcoin they can do that, we don't need to use the name of bitcoin as part of criminal act.

Yes, I agree. It's undeniable that as bitcoin gets so much development, criminals develop more room for their innovation. But in my opinion, in everything, every medium that money is involved, criminality rises. See how criminals see banks as a big opportunity to steal money. Bitcoin became famous to them because it met some standards that they needed, especially the decentralization and anonymity.

I do not really look to bitcoin as a reason of criminality. It is always depend on the perso  whether they choose to do so. Just like other crimes out of th scope of technology, is is a person's decision to commit a crime and to the other person if he or she would choose to be part of it. Theymay use bitcoin to do so, but they cannot control another person to be involved in it. Bitcoin has nothing to do with it.

I think it depends on the people who use bitcoin, because even in other coin if the people want to use or to do a criminality they can do it whenever they want and where ever they are. Don't just focus on bitcoin disadvantage to cover the real crimanality act of other things.

Bitcoin can be used in good things and also bad things. Since it is like real money or cash we can use it to pay for criminality and other stuffs.
