Topic: Criminality and Bitcoin - page 52. (Read 31307 times)
Bitcoin has become the currency of choice for cybercriminals. Its distinctive characteristics of decentralisation and pseudo-anonymity are also attractive to criminal actors in general, and yet Bitcoin has been assessed as representing only a low money laundering risk. In many respects, cryptocurrencies are still viewed as an unfamiliar, marginal phenomenon restricted to the purview of specialists. Bitcoin constitutes a substantial danger in terms of criminal enterprise; and to promote the case for greater awareness among criminal justice professionals and law enforcement officers in particular.
Criminality and bitcoin are not directly related to each other. Bitcoin cannot even cause criminality to increase. Criminality is beyond the control of bitcoin. Why do we have to link the two?
although being completely anonymous make bitcoin prone to being used in criminal activities like cyber scam however i can not completely agree with them that the existence of Bitcoin has increase crime. cyber crime has been in existence even before BTC is recognised world wide and the technology advancement high crime rate will also increase. this government did the same thing to Liberty Reserve in 2012 as they completely shutdown the operation and functionality of then famous ecurrency.
Internet too is notoriously anonymous, Imagine if countries had banned it in its early days for fear that it may increase crime. Ofcourse it ended up increasing crimes and as well helped solve so many societal problems such as slow banking, millions of jobs created, online shopping, online verifications,... Cryptocurrency like every other things has its advantages & disadvantages but I bet its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
This is a good answer, kudos.
I guess it shall always come down to the balance between pros and cons.

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.
Actually, this is in a way, understandable. Nothing unbelievable, criminals obviously don't wanna get caught, and bitcoin is the decentralized currency for all of their needs, it is anonymous, secure, and the government can't tap in or track transactions, it is totally upto the person to decide what he uses it for. And this was definitely upheld in practicality by Silkroad and other such websites that have been taken down since, but new site of this kind are emerging everyday.

I find it hard to believe. In our country it's the opposite actually. The crime rate decreases, because people who were desperate to find jobs resulted to bitcoin, so now they just do bitcoin. However, there are still cyber crimes reported such as scamming.
Have you heard of skimming? It is an electronic method of capturing a victim's personal information used by identity thieves.
For example, when you use your debit/credit card to withdraw money from the ATM scammers will capture the data and use it to steal your money.
So do you think that ATMs are bad in general? Just because thieves found a new way to steal people's money?
Oh Comeon.. There are countries banned bitcoin.. AND in those countrie criminality and dark activities are still happen more than other countries.. Its just a myth that illegal will stop.. Consider that there are thieves in suits with cash and there are thieves in suits with bitcoin in mobile. 
I think the countries that banned bitcoin are just trying to remove the possibility of bitcoin taking over in their country or any other foreign currencies for that matter. It is also a good way for the government to show dominance and remind people that they are still in power, or at least create the illusion of that. Bitcoin is not going to be ever fully banned at all. I doubt that bitcoin users from countries like that are even doing any effort to not get caught using bitcoin. I mean, there are tons of criminals out there walking like a normal citizen, why would they give attention to people just trying to earn some money from the Internet.
criminality is made about bitcoin. such as cyber crime. such as someone hacking your account with cyber crime and transfer your money to your account.
What, lol. Cyber crime has been happening far before bitcoin was ever made. Bitcoin accounts or wallets are a million times harder to hack in compared to other payment methods like Paypal.
Does bitcoin realy good for criminal deals? Your transaction can be tracked if you spend your bitcoin easily. Altcoins like Moneo is more preferable

I dont believe that criminality increases because of increase in Bitcoin even before Bitcoin was made criminality always grow and increase rapidly because of the needs of some poor people and also the greediness of some criminals So its not right to blame Bitcoin for the increase of criminality maybe there is a increase in hacking in internet but that was still not enough reason to blame BitcoinWould you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in some countries in the world.

I DONT THINK THAT BITCOIN CAN BE NAMED AS CRIMINALITY AS PEOPLEEARN IT BY HARDWORK AND OBVIOUSLY BY WASTING THEIR INTERNET SO PLEASE DO NOT NAME BITCOIN AS CRIMINALITY.THANKS!
According to me there will be some criminality where bitcoin will exists because it is consider true about bitcoin that bitcoin existence can cause a big increases in criminality and that’s why in some countries bitcoin is banned and people earn bitcoin there by using VPN like apps to unblock which is also a crime and people goes against their government here.
I don't believe that Bitcoin has enabled criminals more than what cash has. Cash is basically untraceable where as Bitcoin transactions are all public. I doubt a criminal would want their payment to be seen in public just in case the authorizes can put 2 and 2 together.
the criminal customs in your country will be lost if the unemployed people workin bitcoin let there work ,, for it reduces the poverty rate in your country ...
This is just an excuse governments use to ban cryptos. Maybe Bitcoin transactions are untrassable and criminal uses it to pay for their crimes but thats not Bitcoin problem. Ask your self: how criminals managed their activities before the shown of Bitcoin?
Should we stop using bitcoin just because some people use it to do bad things?

I cannot truly comprehend men and women saying there is a url between criminality and bitcoin. Clearly, there just isn't. As one particular of the customers said previously mentioned, the criminals preserve likely. They can get paid in cash, income, gold, any useful point. Bitcoin has nothing at all do with it.
I agree for the most part. Even without bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, criminals have many other avenues of payment. It is a fact, however, that Bitcoin is easier and more convenient to use, and I see how that could convince a few people to cross over. In the big picture though, its impact should be negligible at best.
