Topic: Dark use of Bitcoin - page 17. (Read 23467 times)
Why is everyone saying that bitcoin is used for illegal purposes but no one cites specific examples. For example I saw a site which sells the finest cannabis seeds. Do it for Fiat. There are no discussions on the subject of what is more commonly used for illegal activities. I'm sure Fiat several orders of magnitude higher are used in the shadow economy than bitcoin.
It always depend on the user. They also said that internet will help studentt in their studies, but they just make them lazy and they use it to watch porn instead and other darker stuff so it's not fair to blame bitcoin for that.
Just as the internet may be used as a tool for illegal use and activities, this may also be done with bitcoin. The internet is not said to be dark or evil just because people may use it for dark or evil purposes. If the user has evil intentions, then they would use anything - even something as innocent or neutral as bitcoin - to deliver their greediness and wants. This does not actually mean that bitcoin is evil or dark. It may be used for dark purposes but this does not dictate the nature of bitcoin per se.

1) Are you used Bitcoin to buy illegal staff 
For better or worse dark-web network allows you to safely make purchases only through Bitcoin. So yes, a lot of my friends did it.
Bitcoin most liquid cryptocurrency and most popular, so it is the main reason why bitcoin so attractive for criminals in comparison with other cryptocurrencies which more untraceable
Maybe Bitcoin is so popular that it has the effect of illegal use? To me, Bitcoin is legal but when appeal illegal causing countries to misrepresent Bitcoin. There is no other negative effect.
I have never used bitcoin for illegal purposes. Bitcoin's dentralized nature and anonymity is not the only reason why it is used for illegal purposes .
Fiat money is also used at a huge extent to do illegal practices but that does not mean that the particular currency is responsible for that . All that depends on how people use that currency . The dark web is not because of a currency but the people who use that currency for wrong purposes.
It cannot be avoided, but people tend to find ways to get around illegal activities, and bitcoin is no exception.
It just leads down to the individual user, I guess.

Yes, a lot of people are using bitcoin in an illegal way online, we cant blame them. It's easy money and they are temp in doing such thing to earn faster.
And bitcoin owner now is still untraceable I think.

It is not good to use bitcoin in illegal activities such as buying illegal staff because this is the reason why some government don't want to legalize bitcoin that they are afraid that it might be use in illegal activities such as money laundering, smuggling, drugs and explosives in which might ruin the country and put the people at risk too. So better we do not use bitcoin in illegal so that the government will not think twice anymore to legalize bitcoin anyway most of the government now will regulate bitcoin before legalizing it.
Bitcoin is used in dark web which means that it is being used to buy illegal things such as ammunitions, drugs etc.I personally don't use Bitcoin to buy such things but there are some people who are using this anonymity feature provided by bitcoin in a wrong way. Bitcoin transactions are anonymous i.e. identity of the people involved in transaction remains hidden and government is not able to track them.Due to this feature they feel more free to use Bitcoin for these illegal buying.
If you are not used bitcoin to purchase illegal goods how can you claim that this is possible? I think it's just a rumor. Fiat are much easier and anonymous than bitcoin. If you don't believe me you can try to buy bitcoin for example drugs. You will see how soon the cops will be knocking on your door. Bitcoin anonymity is a myth. All transactions leave their traces on the Internet and it is not difficult to find you.Bitcoin is really pseudo-anonymous and still traceable IMHO. Although there is really no name attached to every bitcoin address, but once authorities try to check and unravel the movement of your transactions, they can really pinpoint that you bought illegal stuffs using your bitcoin and the next will be a total arrest, raid your houses, get your PC and examined it for more evidence. That's why coins like Monero exist, because they offer anonymity for this kind of activity. But again, I'm not into illegal stuff, I just earn bitcoins and used it accordingly.

2. it depend on the legalize of bitcoin on the particular countries because if bitcoin legal in your country that means buy stuffs with bitcoin is pretty good but if bitcoin still not admitted as the currencies in your country i think you cannot buy anything directly use bitcoin and convert them first to your local currency through your bitcoin local exchanges
we know that buying stuff through bitcoin payment is untraceable, that is why there are always people that we cannot trace and stop in buying illegal things. people in this earth needs money, so everything that can earn money even thou it's illegal or not then it is well appreciated.
the advantage is if you buy both legal and illegal things bitcoin transactions are always untraceable.

Bitcoin transaction is transparent in blockchain and it is not fully untraceable actually you can trace to whichever Bitcoin addresses your Bitcoin balance came from at when you send it to another addresses you can still see it so I think it is traceable if you want to it is just that you can't know what is the identity of that specific Bitcoin address owner. It is just a matter of choice to what kind of things does a Bitcoin holder want to use his digital currency online just like in the real world.
