Criminal activites linked with Bitcoin is one thing, criminality itself is an another. I doubt that the existence of Bitcoin plays a role in increasing criminality or it increases criminality, but even if it is, with our without Bitcoin, criminals will always find a way to do...crime. Grin

Yeah it can be used in criminal activities. Hackers are active these days they try to penetrate in your systems and digital wallets, lock them up and ask for bitcoins as ransom and some even try to sniff all of your bitcoins quietly.

I think bitcoins having many positive aspects have some negatives too like advance criminal activities.

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.

Criminal activities are happening before the bitcoin made. They used other cryptocurrency before. And then when the bitcoin made many of criminal was used it .they used it to buy illegal firearms ,illegal druga and make a transaction. So for me, bitcoin is victim only by those who used it to illegal activities

In this case, this bitcoin is not guilty, very true if bitcoin is a victim, bitcoin looks ugly because it is used for crime,
But if used for something as beneficial as funding humanity, I think bitcoin will have a good name.

Bitcoin is just being used because of its features like being anonymous and so on and that is why bitcoin is getting a bad image because of the criminals who are keep doing bad things with bitcoin like selling drugs and illegal things and getting paid in bitcoin so bitcoin is a real victim here and the authorities should do anything to make bitcoin great again.

These days I just have a discussion with some of my buddies and they still feel that bitcoin is only employed for criminality and illegal pursuits like drugs. Its genuinely tough to argue with them given that they do not genuinely know about the particulars on bitcoin. But I have argued thatÂ its not bitcoin fault that it is being exploited by criminals and there are a good deal of constructive things that bitcoin can be used. Like undertaking buying and selling or earning some in a signature campaign or lengthy phrase investments.

they just dont know how the bitcoin works though you cant blame them since they know or they learn bitcoin maybe on the news on some scams, frauds, and criminal activities.

This depends on the individuals.. I hear John MacAfee say Monero payments are more private.. lol..
Like criminals did not exist before Bitcoin.. Just one of their excuses to slow the crypto revolution so that the Banks and Governments can catch up..

BITDEPOSITARY - Make ICO's , More Secure

I guess it is bound to happen to anything of value not just to bitcoin but since bitcoin is a trend online and promises high value as a crypto currency it also gives opportunities for people who wants to take advantage of innocent investors or enthusiast who are willing to pay and take risk. Internet was never completely safe anyway, just becareful out there.

Yes, bitcoin is helping the criminality.
We have to change some things on I think. More regulation will help bitcoin.

Regulation bitcoin it just kills. This in any case should not be allowed.
Crime was before bitcoin appeared. These are not related concepts

Agree with you that the sin acs appear before the bitcoin appears long raasts
But thanks to the anonymity of bitcoin that criminals can take advantage of blackmail without anyone knowing who it is.
This is my personal opinion

Crime and Bitcoin are hot topics, attracting everyone's attention
Bitcoin is anonymously, it is a virtual property, we can not handle as gold, currency
Therefore, it is a crime that the offender wants to exploit

A lot of criminality involves with bitcoin because bitcoin is something that the government is not doing anything with.
So it is not so hard to like scam someone.

According to me bitcoin has no concern with the increasing ratio of the criminality because bitcoin has nothing to do with the criminality, criminality is raising for the lack of the values and the importance of the people , it is up to the people who use bitcoin that how they use it there are good and the bad both kind of people around us so if they are taking the disadvantage of the bitcoin then we cannot blame bitcoin for it because a lot of noble deeds are also happening with bitcoin such as funds and charity etc.

Not all criminal activities can be linked with Bitcoin
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.
Those who use money as payment to drugs, gun smuggling can use Bitcoin to pay and remain unknown
However, not every criminal in this world are into this kind of technology, keep in mind that there are more small time criminals out there that those who are big time and small time ones prefer cash and fast money.

Yup, it's true... why Bitcoin? Bitcoin is not always associated with crime. it's just that many big and international cases carry bitcoin like silk road.

Yes in some areas or in some situations it has been used, example in the ransomeware before, they make bitcoin as the ransome money that the infected person needed to pay for them for them to retrieve their files, we cant control the people where they can use bitcoin,many people now especially my friends thinks that bitcoin is not good.

as a part of the real world BTC is not different. Like every new ALTCoin ANN is based on some old idea from the regular coin world, so also the scam and crimes also got to this world. Expect the worst I say. Where there is money, there is crime.

I do not think that bitcoin increased the number of criminals. After all, criminals were before the advent of the Internet and bitcoin, and through the Internet they will be easier to calculate.

criminals are every where, so even without bitcoin criminals are on to maximize bad activity so why do they involving bitcoin on some role of criminality activity world wide? maybe criminal using bitcoin on their activity but not right that they got banning bitcoin on their country, how about those people who totally use bitcoin for good purposes? they invest some of their hard work to build their dream in the future then this criminals ruin those good future that being build for some reason. thats unfair,

Bitcoin is arguably a novelty which is why law enforcement against crime involving bitcoin has not received significantly consideration. So, the criminals can nevertheless discover it. But I'm sure, faster or afterwards, as the variety of crimes involving bitcoin increases, of training course lawmakers will just take motion by applying new laws to ensnare the criminals.
