Topic: Criminality and Bitcoin - page 64. (Read 31307 times)
No doubt the anonymity that bitcoin offers are being used to the advantage of criminals to do illegal transactions but the thing is, even without bitcoin, if a person really wants to do a crime, there's really no stopping him doing so. It just goes to show that the world is really full of bad people.

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.

Agreed with you, there are some criminals who has started to accept the bitcoins while performing the criminal activities. It has been very difficult for the police department to trace these criminals as there are no transaction trails. I think no one can stop these criminals from using the bitcoins as it is easy and safest way for them to complete the criminal/ illegal transactions; that's why bitcoins are gaining popularity among the criminals also.
Like no one can stop the criminals from using dollar, euro and whatever you want. Otherwise, it would be already stopped. The real criminals don't use Bitcoin, they use other cryptocurrencies which are more efficient regarding anonymity. Those using Bitcoin may regret it in some months/years
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.

Criminality is been drastic since the day life has began. It's been many years, decades and centuries that criminals been roaming around this world. Pointing bitcoin and blame it for those activities made by criminals are just a childish perspective. Do we blame any fiat currency that has been used in many drugs transactions? Money laundering? No, we don't. So be fair to bitcoin as it is just a victim of those propagandists.
We often associate Bitcoin or any kind of Cryptocurrency on the illegal transactions from drugs to online ransoms, but Bitcoin is not the one to blame but the criminals itself in which they are taking advantage of the features of Bitcoin to be untraceable to their side. But I think that the image of Bitcoin of being a money for criminals is now gone as many people even companies accept Bitcoin and can be used to their daily transactions. Money in general is not to blame here, if we want them to stop using Bitcoin for crimes then we must eliminate them not the money. 
yes, it could be happened ,
cause there are no records of transections of Bitcoin.
no one controls it.
Bitcoin can be a very easy way to pay for terrorist activities.
really, it is very risky, that's why Some countries have banned Bitcoin.
still you can't do that in larger size , what i mean are when actually there's a lot of criminality through fiat instead bitcoin , those people who blame bitcoin are the one who can't solve the problem with the real issue and looking for something to blame. if a government really want to adopt bitcoin they could prevent something like that and develop bitcoin into next level and become a better currency to used widely. cause there are no records of transections of Bitcoin.

No, I do not think that bitcoin contributed to the increase in crime. Crime existed for a very long time, even probably when there was no paper money. It's all from human anger and greed.

Maybe this one of the reasons that the government could not make bitcoin a legalize currency im some countries because they are afraid that bitcoin can be used to illegal activities that may increase the numbers of criminals.

But if bitcoin don't have any record of cyber crimimals maybe it can be legalize by the government.
Our governments are well informed that cyber crime did not start because of bitcoin...legalisation battles are far from cyber crime imo. 
It will happen until peoples demons will change. That was and will be in the future. People want a better life and some of them could do anything to change their life for the better. So they're making scams and steal goods.

these are really possible and it is like with fiat as well. I am not sure if there are really countries that banned bitcoin and if there is, there is really an easy way out on it by proxies and the like.
cyber crimes existed before bitcoin came in and will continue to do so,every coin has two sides similarly every technology can be used in bad or good terms.No doubt anonymity of Bitcoin makes it a favourite among criminals.frauds ,scams ,threats,and selling and buying drugs have been increased,but this things exist in real world transactions too.so it totally rely upon the users how they wanna benefit from this platform .

I think cyber criminal most often in bitcoin, Yes because bitcoin is about computer program and many people can do their want with out proper regulation.
There are many things can do through computer like deceit-ting other by the use of bitcoin.
I think the criminal this day if they are who`s doing this thing is professional criminal who has a knowledge to do difficult task.

An excellent example of this was WannaCry
As bitcoins is anonymous and decentralised it becomes hard to track one's transaction and this is used by criminals to ransom money.But all currencies are vulnerable to criminal activities it is not right to blame bitcoin.Fiat can also be use for all kind of criminal activities.But I think this is the major reason why many countries are afraid of legalization of bitcoins.And looking at today's technology i think transaction somewhat can be track.
Criminality is everywhere, even before bitcoin was invented, people who are criminal's by default still find a way to do whatever they want to do. Blockchain tech however may make it easier but it depends on each countries policy.
The ironic thing is that most blockchains, including Bitcoin, are extremely transparent. So it doesn't make it easier to launder money and engage in crime. People thought that it did for years, probably due to a combination of BTC's obscurity and a general misunderstanding of the technology.
Now, we have a whole industry of companies whose job is to analyze blockchain money flow, link transactions to identities, etc. and they work very closely with law enforcement agencies. It's a new era, and the government is not nearly as clueless as people think they are.
Bitcoin and crime does not have a very significant relationship, but with the growing publicity bitcoin can be a tool of crime, for example money laundering and asset storage by the corruptors. It is one of the crimes that need to be wary of.
Just some bullshit complaints by some haters. Criminality is everywhere, even before bitcoin was invented, people who are criminal's by default still find a way to do whatever they want to do. Blockchain tech however may make it easier but it depends on each countries policy. However, attributing bitcoin to criminality all the time is becoming tiring to the ears. They can find something to do about it based on each country's policy rather than complaining.

If we will focus on criminality, it has two sides. The advantage and the disadvantage. In the advantage, it decreases the crime in person because you doesn't need to carry a large amount of money if you want to buy something. You just need to connect to internet to have you transaction. While the disadvantage is that, many people abused the use of it and use it in illegal terms.
