Yes I think there is a relationship because of the bitcoin nature as an anonymous currency that can be used online and offline it could have increased some online criminals like trans-European drug trafficking and no ID and proof. And so some criminals have had the idea of using bitcoins to use bitcoin in their crimes.

Right after reading through the website as you have offered it isn't going to displays that the bitcoin is playing a role in crime, these types of criminal pursuits was happening even prior to bitcoin. Online banking websites was hacked several occasions in the entire world this will not suggest that banking institutions also performs a function in criminal offense.
You can associate criminality on anything, If their are people who wants to do bad things you cannot stop them in making criminal acts and bitcoin is included on it.
Bitcoin is a criminal's paradise in phrases of storing their cash if you want to say it as that but criminality is all about the globe in all factors so Bitcoin is not exempted in criminal performs even though, in each each 1 of the fiat forex that exist nowadays is currently being use by bad and excellent folks so what is the distinction.Just settle for the truth that it is evil if you use it as one particular, it relies upon on how responsible you will use your Bitcoin in your life and other else's daily life.
I think bitcoin is not a best option for criminals to use.
You need to be connected to internet to use it, and the way things go in most countries its not so hard to figure out who is using what if you control ISP.Sure there is VPNs and what not. But access to internet is by Passport ID in most countries, which is far more restricted and traceble than exchanging cash on the street. Police just need to catch up with technology, but in the long run all transactions are saved forever, so every time you transfer money to someone for something illegal you are creating digital footprint of this action. And since you still need fiatto buy your cool ferrari - IRS will be on your ass in no time.

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.

Bitcoin is the identical as a drug, when a bitcoin person makes use of it properly, then bitcoin will continue to be good. Likewise when used in damaging, bitcoin will be bad. This kind of as cash laundering, payment of criminal offense services and a lot of other point
it is obvious that bitcoin will be used for criminal cases. This can not be avoided because bitcoin guarantees anonymity.
Yes,bitcoin maybe one of the currency that a criminal uses.But lets not change the fact that cash are also used when it comes to doing crimes and it may be the leading kind of currency that is used in different criminal acts.
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. 
I do not think criminality is due to bitcoin. it depends on people who use bitcoin as a way to commit criminality. Many public misconceptions about the many uses of Bitcoin by criminals, but the thought is wrong thinking. This thinking is caused by the many people who think that Bitcoin is anonymous, people think bitcoin is the source of the criminal act. paper money can also be used for criminal acts, such as buying forbidden goods ... or using it to hire criminals. bitcoin is not used for it.
Exactly. People who are bad or let say criminals will do every possible way to earn and execute their criminal ideas. Just like you said even paper money can be ised by them. Actually that was their tool for a long time. Maybe they are using bitcoin right now as it is more efficient to do that hides their identity. And even makes transactions hassle free.

Calling DDoS attackers hackers is wrong. This has just been discovered and more actively investigated just because bitcoin has gained on popularity, otherwise they'd not link them to the bitcoin at all.
It's true Bitcoin can be used in criminal activities but it's normal that technology has a darkside like the internet it can be used in criminal activities too. In the bright side i saw an article that there is a building in dubai that was being built right now and the money that they use is cryptocurrency so don't think about negative things too much try to appreciate positive things too...
Although both of them has a great impact in cryptocurrency Let's just wait and see what's gonna happen next..

This is the bitcoin weakness side, everyone is free to use bitcoin, in just 15 minutes we can use wallet and free receive and send money in bitcoin form. this goes back to the policies of each country.
actually, before the existence of bitcoin, criminality in the virtual world is already very much happening, but with the bitcoin is increasingly becoming a big chance for criminals to act, examples of the biggest things such as drug trafficking, weapons, women, and children. but not only that, people like state officials or other wealthy people can use bitcoin as a money laundering place
I agree, a friend of mine was talking with a criminal on the web like a year ago. He was trying to scam him. He failed and then tried to hack him.but my friend knew what to do so he failed again. for my friend it was a funny experience. i thought it was terrifying.

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.
For me other people used bitcoin to make crime just like the site that only few knows deepweb and darkweb are the site that bitcoin used to buy things. Illegal firearms, illegal traffickings and illegal drugs. Not only that. There's more happens that using bitcoin in their crime 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.

I will not deny your statement. It is indeed correct. Criminality is as old as humans being are in this world. The first crime was a murder executed by Cain. Likewise, cyber world is also full of crimes. As far as we exist in this world, crime will also exist. Bitcoins provide anonymity which is embezzled by bad people. 
Bitcoin can help many people. One of the main reason for criminality is money. Even the bitcoin involves money it is not the source of criminality because criminality is from the greed of people. People can earn from bitcoin that needs hard work but because of greedy people and who want to get rich instant then they can do wrong and criminality can happen.
I think these are the two things, because bitcoin is a secure source of money, and the people with criminal mind may be never stole a currency which has no physical existence. Criminal people mostly want cash and go away, but here is not the case of their choice. It will be very difficult for criminals to steal someone bitcoin wallet. So I think bitcoin and criminality are the two different things. https://www.deepdotweb.com/2016/01/23/bitcoin-playing-an-increased-role-in-crime-europol-says/

I think criminality already existed before technology existed.
every aspect has the potential to become a crime whether or not from the real world or the digital world.
as you are talking about. I agree with you, but basically the evil is there as long as humans also exist.
