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.

Stupid people linking Bitcoin to crime is absurd. Do they mean to say crime was not being conducted before Bitcoin? Of course it was and this is just a plain excuse from their part as they are not efficient to do work. And I feel banks and all are promoting this, as they yet fear Bitcoins which is a sad reality, but I do not think that bitcoin name shall suffer because of this. They will fall flat and Bitcoin shall stand strong as usual.

The topic is talking about bitcoin media being used as a means of crime that the government can not supervise, they are already hassle with the criminality of fiat abuse and they are not able to control the economy of cryptocurrency, so that this gap is exploited by negative business. If talking about media, indirectly Bitcoin does provide large numbers for negative and criminal activity.

Not the gap. In the early days bitcoin was more popular due to the anonymous usage and eventually got into black market and the gambling industry. Once after people started to realize it's value the view on bitcoin got changed giving it consideration as an potential storage token and as investment. So negative form always gets continued, we need to try making it overcome by the positive factors.

Bitcoin isnt the cause of criminality and crime.

At the same time, bitcoin does give cybercriminals a way of receiving money alot more anonymously.

Yeah bitcoin is not ta cause of criminality but it has a feature that can be abused by the criminals which makes bitcoin prone to illegal activities like being anonymous when you use it so those not knowledgeable people for bitcoin will treat bitcoin as a illegal stuff because it was used to it and that is why a lot of people thinks bitcoin is the cause of most criminal activities.

I think criminality can happen not only using bitcoin but also other other currency.
Like two sides of a coin.

Yes, I believe in that, a lot of criminality is done with bitcoin, because it's easy for the actors to make bitcoin wallets, I read a lot of news about sending funds with bitcoin, and they are hard to track.

True indeed, today many are using bitcoin for the actions of negative things. They are actually people who can not apply bitcoin in a good life. Anonymously is one of the features used by criminals, they use bitcoin to be difficult to trace. It is this bitcoin nature that becomes the factor of the increasing number of criminals using bitcoin. They get paid easily without wherever their country comes from. I very much regret this, we can use bitcoin should equally as useful for the sake of the good.

Probably because of its anonymous nature so much that connects with criminality. Something that is anonymous is very vulnerable to crime and abuse. But if we want to trade it with dollars or other currency in the exchanger we must verify our account with identity so misuse bitcoin for criminal acts can be minimized

Both bitcoin and fiat currencies can be used by criminal groups. Any form of money can potentially be misused. People need to focus on the crimes and not the currencies. Any specific currency or form of money can be advantageous to some particular criminal group somewhere.

Bitcoin is created with good intent to help transactions on the internet quickly and safely, and has nothing to do with criminality. All the things we can relate to a crime if we connect it, it depends on how we use something either bitcoin, money or gold. We better use all things to do good and not use it for bad things

It just a reason to make bitcoin have bad image, criminal was happened before bitcoin become public money. Although without bitcoin, criminal will always happen. Criminal increase because of social welfare, unemploye and other economic problem. It's not related with bitcoin

You are right that these crimes are for getting the benefits which the criminals do not have and bitcoin do not convince people from itself to start crimes so it is not good that people blame bitcoin for crimes. But instead of that if these people start to work to provide benefits to people then no one will do crimes.

You still take crime in the truest sense of the word? It is necessary to pay attention only to one point that, under the law of many countries, tax evasion is also a crime. And from this we can already conclude that all Bitcoin users do not pay taxes and automatically violate the law.

Not at all violating the law because there is no law that regulates about bitcoin at all. On the other hand, governments in different parts of the world only warn people to be vigilant, but not prohibit the use of bitcoin, and if you talk about taxes, if there is an official bitcoin market exchanger in your country, then every transaction we do there is subject to transaction tax, so all our local activities are legal, global transaction activity need not matter until there is clear regulation.

criminals always search a way to maintain their act safer than it does, they found bitcoin and use it well
to think that bitcoin make criminal activity a lot nowadays isnt really different from they usually do but with a new method

We still need to take into account the fact that many oligarchs hide their income by investing money in Bitcoin and thus avoid punishment for non-payment of taxes or money laundering illegally obtained.

Every new technology will be used by criminal. It is natural and bitcoin is not exception here. What Europol or authorities are missing is fact that Bitcoin is only a tool - one of many.
With bitcoin gone or restricted, every criminal will start using Monero or Zcash and we have half dozen more of reliable fully anonymous coins too!
Banning every single one of them is not possible, and banning decentralized cryptocurrency might be an option - but that would be so drastic and will cause public uproar.

As a currency, it cannot be helped that bitcoin will be used by criminals, terrorists and other bad entities in this world. But it does not mean it makes people criminals or encourages people to commit crimes. You cannot blame bitcoin if crime increases in a certain country. It is a tool/currency that can be used for good or bad.

Of course bitcoin and crypto currency has increased the amount
Of criminalitynin certain countries and areas.

Increase in criminality is because of a lot of factors like social issues
And the widening divide between the people who have money and
Those that dont. Employment in my opinion is slowly reducing and we are
on the first step in the ladder as regards artificial intelegence which
Will further reduce employment.

The internet alone and the darknet have also contributed to a rise in criminaliy

Computers contributed to rise in criminality.
Cars contributed to rise in criminality.
Food production contributed to rise in criminality.
Humans contributed to rise in criminality.
Money contributed to rise in criminality.

You can sell anything as contributing to rise in criminality. Except banks, of course. They are too big to fall.

I think that we will not wait for those problems that are constantly being talked about and which are always voiced about Bitcoin and criminal actions in tandem with the crypto currency. Have been repeatedly mentioned at times when with the help of Bitcoin it was possible to sell and buy drugs and weapons through the network and at the same time to avoid punishment.
