I think bitcoin and crime are not related to each other .. not when bitcoin is not still crime. Offenders can take advantage of anything on the internet to commit their crime. I think bitcoin is a safe and smart system so it is not easy to be abused by criminals

With the anonymity of bitcoin, there is no wonder that criminals that discovers bitcoin will start using it for their illegal transactions. It is the same as with fiat where they can also find ways to use them for their illegal transactions.

what do you mean by that mate? because most of the criminals already excel so digital currency would be a good option for them look what happen to some business who's been attack by ransomware virus they are asking for bitcoin payments the hackers knew that after receiving the ransom they can use mixers to
make it untraceable.

It actually helps investigators. Look at how Mt. Gox coins have been tracked.

Well if you think thoroughly, Bitcoin does increase criminality since criminals could use bitcoins to do illegal payments as well as storing their money. This case apply to corruptors where they can buy bitcoins, buy another altcoin and mix them.

criminality is an old issue a lot of people is doing illegal activities through fiat currency a well. Bitcoin is being use for a lot of wise purposes also all I want to say is that using something depends on the user that how he want to use it and how they think. If they use bitcoin for criminality it is the bad luck of the user we cannot blame bitcoin for at all so bitcoin can be use for both good and bad reasons but it does not mean bitcoin is a bad currency.

Banks and governments specially spread opinion about what bitcoin contributes to the development of crime. This is an information war against crypto currencies. In fact, there is no data confirming this. Cash is much more anonymous than bitcoin.

I will not be shocked if it's factual or not. Bitcoin's decentralization and anonymity attract syndicates and/or powerful people/families, to transact under the radar of the Government. Being anonymous would give them an edge to freely do their dirty works and they have total control on it, also this is an advantage towards their competitors. Plus, These syndicates are now working with advanced technology and the fact that they have access on the web they could easily adapt to a better payment and transaction system which is Bitcoin. They could manipulate it if they want to, and nothing could stop them.

A bitcoin facility that can make users anonymous is very beneficial to many, including high-ranking state officials who want to launder money, and this will be very profitable for them in many ways either through their transactions or the sending and receiving that will not be known to anyone

If Bitcoin should cease to exist tomorrow, would those corrupt officials cease to be corrupt or would the world have heard the last of crime minded people? Bitcoin of course cannot be the reason why crimes are on the increase all across the globe and instead of looking for a scape goat, all those pointing accusing fingers at Bitcoin should rather throw their weight behind finding lasting solution for the diversed inequalities everywhere we look. Life isn't particularly fair, but some stone hearted people make it even worse,

I do not think that many criminal schemes go through bitcoins. It's also possible to calculate if the case is seriously taken by the police, I think it's just that sometimes they can take instead of the usual money.

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.

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.

Because of certain features that's unique with it, the increase in criminality can be caused. At the same time with if calculated about the criminality caused through bitcoin the count will be much lesser than the USD which is the most used currency or asset for illegal transactions and criminal activities.

bitcoin are anonymous thats why criminal take the advantage of it for them to be more anonymous, also many people dont want to involve in bitcoin because they think that bitcoin is just for illegal purpose. Well knowledge criminals and Millennial criminal are using bitcoin as payment for every transaction as it is not detected by government and banks. but still there are more criminals that go to old school as it is cover instant/quick and really money. Small time and Big time criminals are expanding their knowledge so they cope up with the new trend...

We have to take the bad with the good. There’s always people that are gonna take advantage of the services offered by Bitcoin by using it through illegal means. As Bitcoin continues to develop, more and more people will come to use. And we cannot choose who uses it. We just have to live with the fact that people will be people and will use Bitcoin however they like. However, we don’t have to tolerate this. We should stand against criminality sullying Bitcoin’s name and giving it a bad reputation. We should at least discourage use of Bitcoin if its use to commit crime.

Anyone who wanted to earn bigger amount of money resorts to doing illegal things. And bitcoin is a good way or mode to send or to receive money they use for illegal activitites. Through bitcoin there is no way that their names and identities can be traced. For sure bitcoin is being used for illegal and criminalities. Anyways, anyone who intends to do evil will always find a way to their evil plans.

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.

what if we say many cyber crime is happen due to bitcoin, just like previous days, Script of GOT was hacked by hacker and then HBO pays them $250k worth bitcoin and after then GOT's episode was hacked, and again hacker want bitcoin, so my point is why not bitcoin transaction become traceable by intelligence agencies?? if it happen then no one will blame bitcoin for criminal activities.

Bitcoin is a very promising form of investment. This is what makes criminals commit criminals dibitcoin, some very great features in bitcoin is certainly very profitable for everyone. And this does not rule out the perpetrators of criminals will take advantage of existing features in bitcoin to make transactions for crimes they committed. The many forms of criminalization of the existence of bitcoin certainly must diwaspadi by bitcoin users, lest we lose the actions of criminals who can harm us.

Criminals are using bitcoins to perform their illegal activities basically due to the anonymity it gives to its holders. They can make large transactions and nobody can catch them so they are finally free from all the worries of getting caught. They are forgetting karma. If you do badly with others, ultimately it will return to you.

Many Idiot people using bitcoin in a bad way like buying drugs, illegal weapons and fire arms and also different organ of human body. I saw it in a site of a deep web, the payment that is using is bitcoin. That is one of the disadvantages of the bitcoin.

My friend here is blaming bitcoins to be used in the wrong way instead of the people who are misusing such asset. If you were able to access deep web, you must also be aware of that FBI and other agencies can trace such criminality as it happened with Ross. I don't know how they were able to get their hands on his private key but it happened.

without bitcoin, criminal still increase.
every we have something new project, work, or whatever that can earn something we need, is there a criminal. so, its just balance of good amd bad prople.

With the decentralized functioning and the anonymous nature of bitcoin usage has been found to be an easier way for criminality. This has made a bad image for bitcoin from people who doesn't have good understanding about bitcoin and its related factors.

This is not applying only to bitcoins this can happen some other sources also and many peoples doing this already good and bad peoples in every field just saying bitcoin's anonymous nature is easier for criminality is not good
