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.

In my own opinion i beleive that there's some people that used bitcoin for bad things or for criminality like in the cyberworlds, there are many criminals in other site that they do what you say when you give a bitcoin but i doubt that all people do this, there's few only who do this thing when i reaf article about bitcoin there are some cases. But i doubt that there's a high percent in criminality that used bitcoin

BITDEPOSITARY - Make ICO's , More Secure

These are all attempts by the government to blame bitcoin. They have already started a smear campaign of bitcoin. In fact the government is stealing perfectly Fiat and in my eyes they are greater criminals than those who uses for illegal transactions bitcoin.

Actually the bitcoin transaction is recorded and transparent( publicly viewable ) so it can prevent someone to do criminal activity. Good country such as Japan,USA and Denmark are accept bitcoin. If I am positive thinking, probably the countries which not accept bitcoin is because they afraid about the volatility of bitcoin.

The thing that truly strikes the temptation button in the mind of a criminal is the idea that they can be hidden in cryptography, safely veiled (they feel) from law enforcement and so forth. Â So it isn't truly BITCOIN making criminal offense, it really is just than criminal - minded men and women like to disguise. Â

I don't think bitcoin alone has done anything to increase criminality. What has caused an increase in organized crime is IT. Internet allows us to communicate as never before, and by communicating, criminals can talk, organize and buy&sell over the internet. Bitcoin is simply a tool that happened to be used by some criminals, that doesn't mean bitcoin is causing more criminality. Without bitcoin, criminals would probably find another way to make exchange.

the government will and can create unlimited fiat money and with that act, it creates inflation - it is where the value of your money is getting low compared to the original value you obtained it. This is why bitcoin was created and there is a sort of rebellion from this regulations and offers a freedom to spend your bitcoin without necessarily noting your identity

Wrong,
crime already existed before Bitcoin.

Affirming a real or perceived relationship between two things does not mean one cause to another.

The news claims a FALSE CAUSE.

Totally agree with you, because of there are some people who made crime with bitcoins, doesn't mean we can blame bitcoins and another altcoins, all of digital coins are not for crime activity, they have good purposes to build digital coins to be more good in the future. Everything depend on the user's digital coins what's will be done with them.

the real world of evil will never escape from human life.
and for crime in cyberspace. the hackers are calculating from dollars exchanged with bitcoin. it is difficult to trace its existence.
I often see from television, or foreign news. really sad.
hopefully fore bitcoin can overcome this sort of thing. by getting around vitur and innovation about criminality.

What do you propose?
That we start enforcing bitcoin transactions? That miners block transactions from certain addresses?

How will this police define criminality?
Get used to it. Bitcoin is used buying ice cream and shrooms. Just like the dollar.
Is the guy that buys the shrooms that is guilty not the $ or BTC

Since the begin some people had used bitcoin to hide their black business, and well bitcoin went into the bad reputation due to silk road that were working with bitcoin. There is no way to control the use and who use bitcoin since its a freedom currencie and if you have money you can have it. Bitcoin isnt much different from fiat problems, its just a bit more harder to trace the bitcoins then trace fiat, but this will still without solution.

it is not good to call bitcoin the black money because the criminality was already there when the bitcoin came into being. So it will not be good to say that bitcoin made criminality grow…it is not the bitcoin but the criminals that are making the criminality spread all around so it is up to the user that how they use bitcoin for good purpose or the bad so we cannot blame the innocent bitcoin for this reason.

the biggest criminal related to bitcoin I've ever heard is money laudering in Btc-e.nz, It affected to a lot of people in the whole word and of course It makes bitcoin more popular in the whole world but in the bad way. Because in bitcoin you can hide your real identity when you make any transaction, nobody know who send or received bitcoin that why a lot of people take avantages of that case to do bad thing but they forget 1 thing that police can find out who they are with their ip address

yes I often hear some criminals or hackers using bitcoins. even move the stolen money on the wallet.
I think there will be new innovations to narrow down such problems.
but for crime, I think in the real world the same. crime is everywhere.

I have no doubt that some criminals use bitcoin to transfer money or ask for ransom.
But they can do the same theing with dollars, euros or gold.
About a year ago, the reports in the news were mostly abput these things.
Luckily that has changed.
That means that either criminlas do not use bitcoins anymore, or the media don't report it anymore.
I suspect a little bit of both. It got more difficult to convert bitcoin into fiat without identification, that scares the criminals away.
And the media can not always report the same stuff, that scares the audience away.

nicely put there mate. It is either none of the criminals are transacting bitcoin in their illegal transactions nor media are reporting it. But yes, criminals can always find ways as to what to use to pay or received with their illegal transactions whether it is bitcoin, monero, other altcoins, and even fiat money.

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.

Bitcoin is a digital money and criminality is always with money so there is no question about the correlation between this two, it is just the matter who uses it and where do they use it. If you don't to use Bitcoin because it is so evil then don't, a matter of choice also.

Of course, bitcoins can be used by criminals for bad purposes, but crime existed before the appearance of bitcoin and the Internet. Bitcoin is not to blame for the fact that people commit bad deeds.

Because of bitcoin anonymity it is possible to anyone that they can send and recieve bitcoins without giving any personally identifying information. that's why some criminals use bitcoin to buy things that is illegal for example criminals or bad people can buy drugs using bitcoin on dark net,it is the easy and safest way they can do without giving their real identity.
