I agree with those who excuse the btc. Humanity throughout history has always found criminal systems in all aspects of collective life. It is normal that even the use of the btc has given occasions to commit a crime.

Crime in digital currencies will exist until a better system is in place. Security, speed and anonymity are the first problems.

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.


The main goal of the bitcoin is to help people by improving their economic growth and life style,  especially those country's who suffer of poverty. Because bitcoin is very different fro other business.. We can gain money without a capital or we can gain money through investment this is how nice this creation. But those bad people are riding this creation they use bitcoin for their personal bad intention.. Like scamming people using the name of bitcoin. Smuggling,  terrorizing, human trafficking. This are the reason why bitcoin is very affected from bad issues. I

I think this is one of the main reason for bitcoin fallen and many people don't like bitcoin for this reason. Because it's trying that bitcoin is using in dark side of the world. I mean in Crime, Child Abuse Graphy or Darknet uses bitcoin as a payment and police even can't find them. I have read an article about it. It causes bad effect on bitcoin.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are often used for fraudulent purposes. This is how the offshore companies that are difficult to track + anonymously and without intermediaries. Sad

Crypto currency is firmly embedded in our everyday life. They pay for a variety of goods and services, but the resident of the American state of Illinois came to mind the original idea to pay bitcoins for the custom murder of his lover's wife Grin Grin
It's an illegal act that can be done when we use bitcoin. Bitcoin has so many conveniences that there are some people who use bitcoin for illegal actions and harming others. This is actually the negative side of bitcoin because bitcoin can not be traced to its use.

criminals use bitcoin for illegal transaction because bitcoin is decentralization but with or without bitcoin, criminality will still exist, it depends on who use bitcoin. bitcoin is not related about criminality because actually most of people used bitcoin for positive reason such as investment and I believe that is the one of reason why bitcoin can survive until now.
I agree with you, the criminals use everything possible, and torture, unfortunately, was no exception! But I'm sure that bitcoin is more useful than dangerous.
Bitcoin was not created because of criminals so that they can transact easily, it was created because the inventor wants change in the technology, and in the payment system, and to have at least cash less society.
I agree that it was not created for criminals but the truth was there still used it to do some illegal things. Bitcoin has a different usage depending on the user of it. If will going to used it for good or not. But I believe they wont used it for crimes because it was very helpful to them without doing any bad things. It can give you huge money as you work for it.

Yes, as far as I see bitcoin was used in a positive way especially as a source of income. Maybe there are few who used it in illegal things but still most of them in good. Bitcoin was so helpful to anyone who used it. We cant remove criminality anywhere because as long as there is anyone who want to donit we cant stop them because its there will unless they will get caught.

Simply, the system and technologies of cryptocurrencies are not yet perfect. With their help the crooks to easily launder money. This is a long process and the currencies will not reach perfection soon.

Remember the story of Edward Snowden. Governments now have technologies that are easily searchable by anyone. Most often it is simply not in their interest.

Convertible digital currencies like bitcoin are potentially vulnerable for criminal purposes or illegal transactions such as terrorism financing, money laundering and many more, but it doesn’t say that bitcoin is created through that reason maybe people take the advantage of using this currency because bitcoin provide greater anonymity. Even though bitcoin ledger is public, the payment instruction contain only alphanumeric identifiers of the counterparties, but not their names (so called pseudonymity).
it is because of anonymity that it is possible to abuse crypto currency. Thus, it is possible to launder illegally obtained funds and, with the help of the crypto currency, engage in criminal activities. It seems to me that all the Crypto-currency is in the risk zone.

true this is not for criminal but most of the time a lot of people make a way to take this currency to be used for some criminals cases that we can actually see that not all of us do this for.

I do not think that bitcoin is used for criminal purposes more often than paper money. Bitcoin is not a completely anonymous coin. Anonymous cryptocurrencies such as monero or dash can be used for criminal purposes.

Transactions with bitcoin can not be canceled or withdrawn. So once a payment is made or a bitcoin is transferred to a different address, then it is finished. No one party can return the bitcoin to the owner. These two things become the advantages as well as the lack of bitcoin. These two things also provide loopholes for cyber criminals to steal other users' bitcoins or use bitcoin as a crime payment currency. Ransomware, is just one of them.

Because the identity of the owner can not be traced, bitcoin becomes the idol of the criminals in cyberspace. The potential crime of using bitcoin is not just the bitcoin theft itself, but other crimes such as drug sales, terrorist financing to money laundering.

It's not about bitcoin, and that it poses a threat. The fact is in what hands it lies. I think it's obvious that bitcoin can be used in the criminal sphere. And this factor can not be avoided. Criminals can use the Internet, but that doesn't mean you have to ban the Internet. Simply there are various tools which help to prevent any actions of criminals. The cryptocurrency market is still too young to pay attention to at the moment. But time will pass and oxygen will be blocked to criminal activity and in this sphere. I am sure
