Criminals here I think are possible but only with hackers. It is very difficult to track transactions and then find criminals that are very difficult. Every day there are so many small and large transactions. I think it is impossible.

yes, bitcoin has now been used for crime and the government can not track or know the use of money in bitcoin, is one of the reasons why the government forbids the use of bitcoin
for reasons the government forbids actually many more considerations. not just this alone. because bitcoin can be anytime bubble. and for money laundering this can still be done anticipation

the government is organized on the principle that those things that it can not control, it tries to prohibit. I will not affirm, but before the appearance of bitcoin, terrorism, gun trade and other crimes were carried out without anonymous crypto currency. control kills bitcoin, but supervision would be useful.

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.
a crime like this is already happening and has been revealed by the culprit, and I think the easy way to find the perpetrators of bitcoin crime is by way of the police in cooperation with all existing exchange. and I think that's an easy way to find the bad guys using bitcoin

Yes, unfortunately, bitcoin has not only advantages, but also drawbacks. First and foremost, the most dangerous is anonymity, just because of this can not be tracked from whom and to whom money left, it also uses for corruption purposes.
You are right, corruption is very common in this regard, it became easier to receive and give bribes, since this can not be tracked. In addition, because of the anonymity of crypto currency, there is a sale of drugs and similar forbidden things!

The idea of thinking about Bitcoin as criminal activities is as stupid as thinking the same for Cash.

Just Google to check what amounts of Cash $ have been discovered buried by drug traficants.(see Escobar) and nobody thinks that cash money is wrong Smiley

So, why would this be different with BTC? Wink

Bitcoin virtual currency trading is an anonymous transaction so that criminals can use it to launder money or serve drug trafficking.
In addition, criminals have hacked the wallets of the owners or bitcoin users, they almost completely lost their money is owned. It is now imperative that we find the best solution to prevent this or at least restrict the hacking of criminals.

criminals will always have this world, what more villains know that having the bitcoin can make it rich. Surely the villain will steal. So stealing or criminalism will last. Bitcoin is said to be a valuable currency for investors.

Do not watch the news, and especially TV. It can only upset and confuse. Governments and the media will always find a way to gnobit new technologies that go against the interests of the highest ranks.

Crime and bitcoin can not be separated because we know bitcoin using wallet that can not be tracked by the government though. Thus many criminals use bitcoin for their illegal needs.

In the field of cryptocurrency, the existence of KYC really is needed especially to handle various cases that occur around the cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, this procedure has been rejected by most crypto users so this makes KYC was difficult to apply.

I hesrd it too, some criminal acts are usually happen in Internet like in deepweb and darkweb. These sites are usually used bitcoin to buy some illegal products. Yes, you are right. Bitcoin is just a money, it is not the problem, the problem is the human who are using it and their mindset about some issues in our society.

The criminal activity all the time but the Man itself is to blame, they commit the crime, the Government will not allow the decentralized currency, they can not control. And the authorities can not just forbid bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a problem but psychological human make. Scamming has been early in life even from stories of all aspects.

Criminals and bitcoin are not same because criminals do bad things and bitcoin do good things. Yes bitcoin can use by criminals for their transaction to do bad things, they can use it to buy drugs, guns, illegal weapons, and other illegal things. While bitcoin have many advantages, you can use it in any transaction such as payment, investing, trading or other things to earn more money. Don't compare criminals to bitcoin because they are not the same.

I do not think that bitcoin is encouraging any illegal activities.

If you watch various Youtube videos about Darknet (a criminal unerground network that serves as a place for various crime activities) you`ll notice that all transactions there are made with cryptos like Bitcoin, ETH, Litecoin etc. If there`s a demand there will be a supply.
