I believe that it is not the point here because crime are already here. Even outside crypto world crimes are there. Criminals will use you iether you are in a crypto world nor on our local areas as long as they believe they can get something from you.

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.


These people are hypocrite. They blame bitcoins when there are big names on the criminal world that are still free doing what they want because either they are afraid to stop these people or they are paid to shut up.

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.

The real criminals are the central governments who print money with no accountability.

Bitcoin has become the forex of decision for cybercriminals. Its exclusive traits of decentralisation and pseudo-anonymity are also eye-catching to prison actors in general, and however Bitcoin has been assessed as representing only a minimal money laundering risk. In numerous respects, cryptocurrencies are still considered as an unfamiliar, marginal phenomenon limited to the purview of experts. Bitcoin constitutes a considerable threat in terms of criminal organization and to promote the situation for higher awareness amid legal justice professionals and law enforcement officers in certain.

Criminality and bitcoin, criminals who use bitcoin for their benefit must exist and can not be prevented. It can not be prevented because the true bitcoin is freely used by anyone, including those criminals. Even terrorists seem to use bitcoin for their benefit. But I doubt if the crime rate increases due to bitcoin.

The only use of bitcoin for criminals is to buy and sell drugs online, Ico's are banned in china for a reason that some of the people there are using bitcoins for illegal transactions online. Maybe terrorists are also using bitcoins to buy guns.

Just like in fiat money, criminals can use bitcoin to whatever they like - it may be to buy drugs, guns, and the like. We can't get away with it because it is also happening with fiat money. Now, it is the prime concerned of the enforcers to get them.
But with FIAT money, the criminals can not use FIAT to create deal easily because they need to deal directly. While, Bitcoin can provides a services global transfer money within few hours for any amount of money, it also provides anonymous transaction.

I think in cyber criminality its possible like in Silk road you could have paid with Bitcoin. But I don't think that it has played a huge role for normal criminality like drug dealing face to face or something like that.

Everywhere you can earn money, and you are able to pay no fees, there are bad people. I think this is a law of nature.
But important is with all the bad stuff, here is growing a much bigger good thing.
Everywhere some people will be roaming around trying to benefit from some others earning. Such people never think of cheating or engage into crimes for earning. In the similar way bitcoin has got relation with criminal activities, but this has decreased a lot than the past.

I think their is some connection about btc and criminal cases rather their is true and many connections about btc and criminality, because bitcoin has no tax and no fee people wanted to use it in a bad way,and i think that is the other reason why other countries banned bitcoin and that is the biggest disadvantage of btc. It is used for drugs, illegal recruits and other, thats why it is very crucial.

Bitcoin moves parallel to the internet in the context of all the 'bad things' that people say about Bitcoin. Is the internet really good? Certainly not. Terrorists, drug traffickers use Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp to communicate and coordinate every day, and some people may feel anxious about doing online, related to pornography.

But regardless of all the problems, does anyone make a real effort for the internet? No, Not because issuing and dismissing Bitcoin is very difficult, because the internet offers something more positive than a negative thing. For the same reason, we should be more careful with our mindset against Bitcoin, as much evidence has shown Bitcoin brings many positive effects, from the internet. The Internet and Bitcoin are divided into devices of 'bad guys' and 'good guys'. In a world full of people - people in the category of 'good people'.

Everything can be connected to a crime, from paper money to invisible money. In every place of an internet or the world crime can be committed in all kind of ways. But cause bitcoin is not yet accepted and related with taxes then it is normal that some people connect with criminal activities. Bitcoin is connected with criminality same as all other things.

The biggest disadvantage of Bitcoin is that it is being used  in crimes like buying drugs , buying illegal ammunitions and cybercriminals ask for ransoms in the form of Bitcoin. As bitcoin is decentralized in nature so govermemt has no control on it and government is not able to identify the people involved in these transactions .This facility of anonymous transactions provide these criminals a type of support to commit there crime because they have no fear of getting caught .

Actually bitcoin here to help people it’s not for a bad people if someone is using bitcoin for crime or for any bad things it’s very bad so always need to use bitcoin for a good things and I think if it’s possible for someone they must donate bitcoin to the human right organist ion in order to they can finished the crime from world.

This is a lot of people worried about the emergence of bitcoin. because Bitcoin transactions are anonymous so very convenient for criminals to use it as a tool to exchange goods and store money. not only Bitcoin which digital currencies are vulnerable to criminals taking advantage.

Yes, actually this is one disadvantage of bitcoin in terms of using.because other people use it for crime or bad activities. We know that the site deepweb is accepting bitcoin only for the negotiations and theor sell illegal drugs, illegeal trafficking, and illegal fire arms. But that's not it. They used bitcoin to hire a killer and for pornoghraphy

Crime exists and dealt with many currencies since ever, it just the question of awarness. How much they talk about it - since we live in a world that everyone hear the news - we know more, and I believe that people hear about these crimes connected with the name bitcoin and it got the stigma of 'crime currency' - nothing more.

Yeah i also see some statements about this bitcoin being a cause of criminal things like drugs and terrorism,they are abusing bitcoins anonimity feature in order to do that illegal things freely

You are correct, they are giving bitcoin a bad name. They are taking advantage of the anonymity of bitcoin that's why they can easily do illegal things. Well  crimes existed ever since bitcoin so its expected they will also use this kind of currency illegally.
