for me internet allows us to communicate as never before, and by communicating, criminals can talk, organize and buy&sell over the internet.

The Internet, not BTC, has certainly increased the number of criminals, as it's increased the number of laws that can be broken,  BTC in itself hasn't increased the number of criminals, per se. It has made it easier to be one if you're smart, certainly, but they (the criminally enterprising) had to already "get there" in this case.... BTC didn't get them there.

BTC and the blackmarket are forever linked, but BTC is no longer dependent on it, and it may someday lose it's drug market connotations. Other currencies such as DeepOnion, more suited for privacy-first, privacy-always commerce (and which will also be first-tier tools for the criminal element, but did not create them Wink will fill that role as BTC becomes the global "reserve" currency along with being the Altcoin peg.

Bitcoin want no identity to transfer , store or deal. So that mean Its obvious that bitcoin can increase criminality. If I describe it simply, anyone can plan a criminal case and pay the criminal with bitcoin. This transaction will never be found. Black money also can store as bitcoin.
You said exactly. They do not have any identity to deal with it and there is no evidence of any transaction in Story. It is used illegally by many people. One can talk about black money.

BBOD - The Best Crypto Derivatives Exchange

Bitcoin has been used as a good currency for criminals activities for many years. So criminals always find another way to use cryptocurrencies for many bad things, this can effect negative trust on bitcoin and makes the world harder to accept bitcoin legally.

In fact, we can't stop crime and money laundering. Criminals are not stupid people, they are complacent with their communications and use it to harm others, criminals are always looking for and using anything, bitcoin is an example...although bitcoins bring a lot of benefits to our lives, they also benefit criminals. A clean currency is stained.

Yes, it is undeniable. Bitcoin is indeed used by criminals, criminals can use bitcoin to launder money or buy drugs or firearms, and the government can not track criminals, so some countries have banned bitcoin. Believe that with the development of bitcoin, this problem will be solved. Sad

yes i believe there is a lot of criminality using bitcoin. Because with bitcoin we do not need the verification of personal data. I've seen on youtube many deep web users who use bitcoin as a means of payment.
Well I think both of them are different from each other bitcoin is a digital currency and crime is different if someone is using bitcoin for crime so it’s good because bitcoin is here to help people and I believe that bitcoin is going to help humanity so we need to study about bitcoin in detail in order to we know what bitcoin is going to teach us.
The world still use Dollar for crime if we do not have Bitcoin for crime. Therefore, I do not think this is the best reason to blame the existence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency like normal currency, both are tools to help the world's economy and payment system. As long as we use Bitcoin and cryptocurrency honestly and transparently, there is no reason to worry about the future of Bitcoin.

Yeah right, indeed. All of the currency that we have now are all in freedom to use by anyone on anything he wants, and the Government can't prevent that since they don't know all of the activities of the people in their country, so, it can't be help. Bitcoin is out of this problem, even though there are people who are using bitcoin on the illegal activities, it doesn't mean that bitcoin should be the one to blame.

We have different choices in life, and we can't prevent those people who are misusing bitcoin because we don't even know who are those people.

Crypto currency is just a tool. And its benefit or harm depends on who uses it. So I didn't think that because of the appearance of bitcoin, crime has increased

Will be definitely used especially as a money laundering tool. But I doubt it'll get even close to replacing traditional ways of making illegal transactions

Cointed. The Future of the Money
November 15, 2017, 04:10:10 AM
Indeed, there are many bitcoin disadvantages. Bitcoin is anonymous, so bitcoin can be exploited by criminals and the government can not trace criminals. So some countries do not like bitcoin.  Sad

This is very sad part of this beautiful currency. By bringing anonymity it can open any door for anyone.

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.

Correlation and causation are two different things. Cryptocurrency is not a recent invention so don't blame the anonymity of bitcoin. What should the government focus on is to secure their trading ports so no illegal shipment would sneak off. They should support cryptocurrency so that people would not think to do inappropriate operations.
Agreed. This all happen on our mentality, these are we humans who either use the technology positively or negatively it does not depend on the technology. If we come to bitcoin then why don't we blame our mentality because we are getting involved into wrong issues, the currency is not forcing us to do so. Even crimes also existed in the past when no such technology was introduced on internet

Everything can be a source of a crime, not only Bitcoin. If someone really intends to use Bitcoin for crimnal purposes, they always can , since Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized, its easy to do transactions using Bitcoin, i dont know whether its safe or not because our identity is hidden.

The internet and Bitcoin are just devices that 'bad guys' and 'good people' can use to be filled with more people in the 'good people' category.
You are right the god and the bad exist everywhere and all the thing is having the bad and the good effect so it is up to the user that how you like to use the bitcoin I hope the future of the bitcoin will be very bright and the bitcoin will give all the people real value and the income I can see how the bitcoin has become famous among the people so we should not take the disadvantage of the bitcoin but we should use it as the positive currency.
Honestly, Bitcoin will not have a good future like your thought. Because the nature of Bitcoin made Bitcoin become a danger for the world's economy and the benefit of the government. And beside that, I am really surprise when the Japanese government accept Bitcoin, I do not know the reason made them do that, do they want to create a revolution and against other countries? A question at here!

Yes I think there may be a link between criminality and bicoin. Although Bitcoin may be the safest and not the most 'bad' way to use money, it does not mean that no criminals use it. Just like normal money, there are 'bad guys' who use Bitcoin. But there are two important things to note - first, as more and more data is available in the industry, the more obvious the number of nasty cases, that is, very, very small. If the Bitcoin ecosystem is likened to a large mountain, then the size of the evil parts is just a few blocks of rock. Secondly, in every financial system, this is a risk that can not be eliminated and can only be reduced, and Bitcoin has the best tools in the world for it.

Yes, bitcoin's anonymity is exploited by criminals. Criminals use bitcoin to commit criminal activities and the government has no means of tracking criminals. These problems need to be solved. Smiley

Replace Bitcoin by cash and you will see how weird your arguments sound. People should realize that privacy is important to everybody, not just criminals. This includes privacy in your financial dealings.

Many people think that bitcoin is associated with criminal activities such as money laundering and funding for terrorists, but i think it is wrong, because most people think that bitcoin is anonymous.
Probably because someone uses bitcoin as a criminal activity that makes bitcoin bad and negative in the eyes of many people.
Actually bitcoin is much safer than people think.
