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.
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.

Bitcoin is untraceable that's why most of the bad person taking advantage of bitcoin they avail the usages of bitcoin in a bad things habit.
Which is not supped to be happen actually. They are abusing the goodness of bitcoin to anyone. Wink

Everything that is good will always be used for something bad. For example, a gun might have been created to hunt animals or kill bad people. In reality, it's being used to rob someone or kill someone innocent. Just look at the ISIS group and you know what I mean. Was the gun made for that purpose? I know it's a bad example but you understand it.

Bitcoin is untraceable but it not really is. You can still be traced because the ledger of bitcoin is available for everyone to see. Things can still be connected. Cash is the one that's not traceable. Whenever you receive money, do you know whom it came from? Not at all. After you used it to pay for someone, you don't know where that same paper bill will go.

Where ever you are, what ever you do, criminals are everywhere. Bitcoin has nothing to do with that, somehow. But I confess that some criminals do use Bitcoin for something that's not good.

The perception of criminality rate in bitcoin also applies equally to fiat, much bitcoin use only leads to internet technology. It really doesn't make any difference and this is not the main reason if bitcoin is must ultimately regulate by the government. Bitcoin crime does look more intellectual and we are trapped by anonymous and decentralized patterns, but this makes us more responsible and more qualified to maintain the security and balance of personal accounts.
I agree with you completely. Blaming bitcoins for any crime is just like blaming a knife for murder. All depends on the user. Anything can be used as mode for crime if the user has an evil mind. Bitcoins are just a digital currency that makes transactions easier for the layman. They are a source of income for those who are not doing great with their jobs. It’s a hope for passionate youngster who wants to be the billionaires.

I'm really sad that now bitcoin has started to get bad reputation because it is a easy way of doing illegal things and with some many accessories being introduced to bitcoin it keeps getting easier for to use bitcoin network for illegal purposes and I'm scared that because of this bitcoin doesn't get banned

Fiat currencies like the US dollar are used every day to perpetrate crime but they don't get banned so why lump thus on Bitcoin now? It just doesn't make sense to think Bitcoin is going to be banned because people use it for illegality, we can't control how people should use their money, can we?

That is true mate. There is no way to ban a certain fiat or any form of currencies like Bitcoin if its main features are for the convenience of the consumers and offer a lot of value. The people who will have the bitcoin or fiat money is responsible for his actions of using it and it is not the fiat or bitcoins that will get blamed of any illegal transactions whatsoever.

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.

 i think bitcoin bitcoin play a big role in increasing the rate of criminilatity because of being anonymous you can hire someone to kill (gun for hire) , scamming, and hacking those data. But even before  bitcoin arrived criminality is always the problem eversince

Agree with you pal! It is easy to send and receive bitcoin online  and used it in illegal activities . Like in deepweb you can used it to hire someone to kill and pay with bitcoin and that is the easy transactions.  Also you can buy guns and drugs and it will lead to high criminality rate. But overall it is not all about bitcoin it is all about people

Has BTC given criminals a way to increase their anonymity, yes. Has it increased criminality in general, no way.

One of Bitcoin's most convenient features is that users do not need to disclose personal information when dealing and that is beneficial for many people including criminals. They will take advantage of Bitcoin for profit, crime. And the strongest evidence is that the number of Bitcoin users increases, and the number of criminals increases.

The is no doubt about the fact that criminal activities could be linked to every other currency not just bitcoin alone. And I don't agree with your submission that bitcoin has led to the increase in criminal activities or cyber crime. All criminal activities has been in existence and on the high level before the introduction of Bitcoin.
Yes because bitcois in anonymous. No one would be ever to know where does the other user spend their bitcoins. Whether they will use it as their funds for criminality or not. No one can ever predict it or say it. We just need to keep our mind set to be not likely to be like them. Bitcoin is free to everyone thats why.

I dont think that would be the reason of increasing numbers of criminals. 

Even without bitcoin, criminals are continue to exist and beside there's a lot of ways to exchange payment on their transactions.

The great purpose of bitcoin are not meant for the criminal.

Cybercrimes had been in existence before the evolvement of bitcoin, I have witnessed cases were some individuals were arrested by the police who used western union money transfer to fraudulently extort money although bitcoin may be another way to perpetuate such a crime but I believed the interpol has a special unit to checkmates cybercrimes particularly money laundering.

Criminals will always be there, before any money, criminals are rife, criminals can not be stopped while there is life, don't blame bitcoin if criminals use bitcoin for transactions.


I agree with you because criminals will always be there anywhere so this is not one of the bitcoin of crime.

The criminals were before bitcoin and will be after bitcoin. They will always be regardless of the crypto currency. There is no correlation between criminal and crypto currency

The community should stop blaming bitcoin for criminality actions. Criminals get paid in many ways, even via dollars, euros and other currencies. Bitcoin is not a must for them.
that is true. Because of being a kind of money, bitcoin is surely abused by many illegal individuals and organizations. And all kinds of money around this planet is being used for illegal purposes, not only bitcoin. However, bitcoin is providing us a good technology and the best transaction in the world. Cause of that reasons, we can not deny the benfits of bitcoin in our life

Surely bitcoin play a role to nurture illegal things and other criminality but I think even without bitcoin criminality will still increased. Though the role of of bitcoin in criminality is irremarkable. Everyone can bring more money to other country without the notice of other people.

It is true.  No self respecting currency is immune to corruption.  Many of the biggest markets around the world are illicit markets.  However, some currencies are better suited than others in the various markets.  Bitcoin's specialized markets are the digital markets....an increase in cyber crime cannot, alone, be attributed to bitcoin but attributed, more so, to the expansion for the digital markets in general.

Criminals nowadays use all the sorts of currencies to complete their illegal trades, so we can't here talk only about bitcoin, fiat is also used a long time before even the Bitcoin's creation, and it is still used for this purposes till present.
