i doubt it.
criminal activities were happening even before bitcoin. for example the ransomware that everyone is talking about these days have been around a very long time before bitcoin was created!

and besides since bitcoin doesn't offer real anonymity it can not really help the criminals as much as things like hard cash helps them.

criminals use bitcoins for payment only ...

Criminals use bitcoin as payment they are relatively connected to each other. Bitcoin has a feature that is decentralized and cannot controlled by government or anyone from the position. but it is still traceable if they just effort on tracing transactions.

Because bitcoin transactions are public, there is really a chance to track if we really need to but it takes a lot of efforts and resources to do that - not to mentioned if the people illegally transacting it uses different kinds of wallets and it will aggravate the difficulty of tracing it.

It depends on its usage. It was linked when the silk road is still available in deep web. But now it is used in daily transactions. It is another way to send money overseas. There are many usage of btc so we can't assume that it is for illegal purposes. Bottomline, it is still depends on the usage of the bitcoin if it is linked to criminality.

yes! You are right that bitcoin is being use if not by us then by criminals but we cannot blame the currency for the whole responsibility is the bitcoin user not the bitcoin because criminality already does exist even without bitcoin so people should stop blaming bitcoin for this because a lot of other people are also trading with bitcoin and they are using bitcoin for all legal purposes so I think it depends on the user that how they deal with bitcoin as legal or illegal.

The presence of bitcoin makes everyone happy and eager to divert the transaction from bank to bitcoin including crime, anonymous makes everything difficult to trace and that is the reason why bitcoin is favored by criminals.

Bitcoins are appreciated by the people all over the globe whether rich or poor, employed or unemployed etc. The decentralization and anonymity has made it perfect for all people who want to avoid high bank taxes and do not want to be controlled by corrupt political. Bitcoins are not found to increase crime rate in any society. They are just a mode of payment.

I think not all criminals always use transactions to do with bitcoin and what if someone uses bitcoin because the popularity of economic expansion in every state really helps with that and yet depends on bitcoin users will be used for crime or goodness. , Hopefully Bitcoin development process so as not to be abused from the user,

Criminality and bitcoin are not directly related to each other. Bitcoin cannot even cause criminality to increase. Criminality is beyond the control of bitcoin. Why do we have to link the two?

because we have seen in mass media or article, people talking about bitcoin related with money laundry and bitcoin itself is anonymous so it will be difficult to tracked where the transaction come from. and maybe people is thinking that bitcoin only use with criminality and they don't care about this. this is our jobs to clear what they thinking so bitcoin will be know as a good thing for them.

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.

We don't need to be surprise to the relationship of bitcoin and the criminality because bitcoin is already used even on its first few years in the black market because of its being anonymous so the authorities cannot trace them down and that is the advantage of using bitcoin for the criminals but such a huge disadvantage to us. If i were satoshi nakamoto, i will remove that anonymity to avoid crimes.

Yeah I agree to you. Bitcoin is using in the black market and it is illegal we all know that. They buy and sell of drugs using the bitcoin. I can say that there is a connection between bitcoin and criminality.

That is one of the disadvantages of the bitcoin. Many people are using bitcoin in a bad way. Like in the black market, many people are trading drugs and human organs and they using bitcoin. I can say that bitcoin can also use in criminality.

It is true, I do believe that along the bitcoin's popularity the criminalities around the world is gradually spreading. Because of the bitcoin's anonymousity it is being used in wrong way like payment for drugs transaction and etc. Hence, we...here in crypto community must know the real purpose of this currency and we must not take the advantage of btc for our illegal transaction. Please don't join upon their illegal activity instead we ought to teach the real usage of it upon those who wanted to enter the cryptoworld.

Hell yeah,I definitely and totally agreed on what you've said,eventhough the Bitcoin exists or maybe doesn't,criminality is always present and One theory says that even if one person is very kind there is an instances that in some part of the corner of his brain there is what we call criminal mind.Criminality exists long long time ago even before Bitcoin has been created and existed.That thought though and very well said.

Criminality is always present anywhere and even everywhere due to the trait or characteristic of a human to be greedy. Bitcoin upholds the capability of earning money that needs hardwork that can be earned for an instant. But because people are not contented of what they have, criminality happens. Bitcoin is put into blame with criminality because people become greedy and longing for easy money that is an effect of too much usage. But bitcoin is not the root of criminality. It is the greediness that brought up criminality.

Probably. Because of the anonymous of bitcoin they can use it to other reasons. Even that reason is bad and related to criminality. It doesnt matter on them, but the image of bitcoin might be affected people will only think that all the bitcoin comes from criminality amd people that are using it is criminal.

I agree with your opinion, because the criminality of someone who uses bitcoin as a means of payment, bad for bitcoin itself, many people will judge bitcoin is not good to use because their view of bitcoin is very negative, everyone should know bitcoin not just used for Criminals, many still use them properly without violating existing laws, and bitcoin is not entirely guilty, what is wrong is the type of transaction they do

Anything that humans have invented for certain purposes can do really have advantages and disadvantages which are depending on how users or consumers use it or manage it. Criminality has been present ever since technology has not yet made, it is because humans have a trait of being greedy that is why they such thing for their own benefits while abducting the rights of other people. Bitcoin cannot be blamed on how criminalities behave because it is a human failure of using it properly. Bitcon has been established to do many purpose and criminality is not a part of it.

That's why bitcoin education is very difficult for ordinary people, especially for those who have previously heard of criminality with bitcoin, as recently happened in the world of hacking WANNACRY who has requested payment with bitcoin. The reputation of bitcoin will continue to be bad if left alone and there must be a clever person to explain bitcoin well.

I think that good side of bitcoin is whet make it endure all difficulties so far. Because most of people hear about bitcoin from some person that they know, and not from some media. There are those which learn about bitcoin in bad way, like with that virus or from person who was hit by it. But as long as there are more of those who know the truth, bitcoin will live on.
