I see the criminal is just a bad thing and if bitcoin is criminalized it seems like a very bad and sad act because it will make the bitcoin name bad and ugly.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, and like all currencies they can be used for good and for evil. The £$¥€ are all no different so people should stop tagging Bitcoin negatively

Its quite unfortunate that there is a group of people using Bitcoin to make illegal transactions, this is however not something to be blamed on Bitcoins. as its just a medium of pay. The group of outlaws using Bitcoin has brought hard times to Bitcoins as it struggles to win the faith of Investors with good intentions.the fact that Bitcoin is a free platform for anyone willing to use means there is little that can be done about it, but it doesn't mean that its BTC's fault either

The alleged allegations by various parties even states that bitcoin is used for illegal transactions is certainly reasonable, anonymous features make criminals feel free and do not fear their identities publicly known, but there are many ways to make criminals do not use bitcoin by making regulations.
Yes that a rule is the most anticipated, to realize it then there must be support from the government. This is because the main character of the decision is the government, when the government can make a rule so that there will be a law made then it is of course that illegal actions can be reduced.

Some countries even resist Bitcoin, so it seems like it will take a long time. But I am very optimistic that it could happen in the future.

Yes, such practice exists. There are criminals who steal bitcoins or turn out illegal cases. And all of the fact that bitcoin is still outlawed, and with theft and other situations, the government is interfering and doing nothing, Until they solve all issues with bitcoin

I have seen some news regarding hackers, terrorists, and other criminals using bitcoin for illegal trades.
How the police can find about these transactions?
Even if is hard to track illegal transactions, I don't think that Bitcoin can be a danger to society, since the problem is the society and its people.
Since the beginning of the internet this is happening ( the bad people committing crimes)  and no one is willing to shutdown internet because of that, so in that matters Bitcoin should be equivalent. I think those illegal transaction are one of the reasons some governments and the media are trying to depreciate bitcoin, but the problem is not Crypto/blockchain or Bitcoin, is just the society.

Indeed, many criminals look for places where transactions can not be tracked so bitcoin is the target. Because the transaction system is anonymous and also can not be tracked.

I feel that this needs to be cautioned. It is difficult for the police to track illegal transactions. But my hope for the future, the police can be more sophisticated and understand about the world of internet and crypto, so we as a community do not have to worry anymore if there is crime through bitcoin..

Bitcoin shouldn’t be made illegal by nations just because it is used by criminals, just as cars or dollar bills shouldn’t be made illegal because they are used by criminals.
We cannot blame bitcoin for being use by some bad people as still thousands of good people are using it for the betterment of humanity, as now charity is being done with bitcoin and bitcoin is making poor people highly rich, so if a few of bad fishes are using it for their own way the whole bitcoin will not get dirty with it, so let them be one day they will pay for their bad act, but apparently bitcoin does not have any connection with criminals.
Yeah because bitcoin can not choose who the users are worth using it. moreover there is no centralized control so no one will monitor and control if someone uses bitcoin for illegal stuff. so dont blame bitcoin. users have a loophole in using bitcoin because of the decentralization factor. so for a financial crime involving bitcoin. bitcoin can not prohibit that

I strongly agree if the wrong is not bitcoin, crypto currency, or blockchain technology. The wrong is the person who misuses bitcoin for illicit transactions. It would be unfair if the technology developed in such a great way would be extinct. This is very unfair. Bitcoin can not be equated with criminality. Bitcoin is just a victim and bitcoin is just a scapegoat for the occurrence of crime. Bitcoin, which was originally intended as a technology, would facilitate but instead be misused. Therefore, it is very unfair to judge bitcoin forbidden. All this because the morality of its users is not good.

Because the tool is not guilty, technical neutrality, block chain technology and BTC technology are not guilty!

Criminals can launder money without bitcoin.

The real problems in many of the networks that have been solved by bitcoin have been exploited by hackers and criminals because they are not traceable.

Virtual currency will never escape negative news. Bitcoin is currently the most favored criminal to commit crimes, and many even claim that Bitcoin crimes will not be traced. But Blockchain actually records all Bitcoin transactions, the way that Blockchain technology stores all Bitcoin transaction data in one place, so the offender is easily traced because it is visible from the trace of the transaction they are using.

I agree bitcoin is not a crime,the crime is truly in the people who wants to commit crime while using bitcoin.

Its quite unfortunate that the independence and freedom of Bitcoin has earned it association with criminal activities, Bitcoin doesn't chose who uses it and what they use it for,It just performs its duty and that's it, with o without Bitcoins, criminals would still find a way of perpetration their activities, as they have been doing long before BTC,can therefore not beheld accountable for the activities of the outlaws, Its just a medium of transaction

The most crimes in the world are financed with $ and I don't see $ slowing down because of it.
$$$ don't shoot people, people shoot people (with $$$).  Grin



Yes exactly, money, guns, knifes, even cars, they are not evil, just some people are evil and they can use anything to do evil things. There's nothing to be blamed on bitcoin.

People care to much about criminals using bitcoins and i don't understand why, If there was no bitcoin, they would use the dollar, euro and other types of currencies.

And everything would be the same.
This kind of discussions are pretty useless.
You can't blame the tool (BTC) for some person's actions.


Correct, Only ill minded people will blame a tool that being used on a crime by criminals, For example if a person stabbed another person with a kitchen knife who would we blame? The knife? No because we have intellect and we have brains and we know hot figure out things in the correct way and manner. I think those people who blame tools like Bitcoin being used by criminals are group of people's who just want to spread FUD in the crypto currency community. Cheesy
it all depends on our own behavior ,, if already have intentions to act criminally, whether it's anywhere will definitely do its ..
because the crime will happen if there is a chance and the opportunity is also in bitcoin ..
and i hope everyone can think positively about bitcoin ..
