If people are rational then they know that this statement is dumb. I mean we all know that even before bitcoin existed, fiat getting used for evil purposes has been going on until today. And I've read somewhere that only 1% of btc are really used for illegal things or crimes.

Currency is used for payments or investments, both digital and fiat. If anyone believes that bitcoin is used for illegal transactions, it is another part of the currency.
That is, whatever type of currency is always used for good and evil because transactions cannot be monitored by anyone. So if anyone thinks bitcoin is used for illegal purposes, I don't agree.

Moreover all currencies are used for that, we all know that? so it's a stop judge that only bitcoins do illegal transactions and call dark use of bitcoin, all currencies have dark use? and we can't prevent them from using bitcoin for negative things..

in my youth i bought illegal things with cash.
in my old age, i've had people pay for magic: the gathering cards in bitcoin.
age tempers us all i suppose.
the news is full of stories of people laundering money with btc, or people buying guns and drugs with bitcoin, but most people i know from that old life are entirely too stupid to handle btc, so it seems like demonizing cryptocurrency is just a return to the 90's and their movies about how hackers would end up launching nukes during a hack gone wrong.

Even if fiat money is used for illegal purchases over the Internet . And bitcoin is an unofficial digital currency is not regulated by anyone and of course he is used by the criminal world for its own purposes .

This is indeed a bitcoin owner's dilemma, because so far it has been considered a place for money laundering. Although not all bitcoin owners are financial criminals, more speculators expect big profits from rising bitcoin prices like 2017.
Therefore, to become a digital currency recognized by the world, bitcoin must make changes that have become obstacles. I think there is still room for an agreement that can make bitcoin used throughout the world.

How ? Can you put fiat money directly on the internet or online ? No . but digital payment system can . you need to use a money transfer service if you want to buy online using fiat .

Bitcoin isnt built this way .its not meant to money launder to use for other criminal acts , people only mistaken it as one because of its digital and anonymous feature . most of all it only depends on the user if he will use his btc for good or for bad

1) Are you used Bitcoin to buy illegal staff Huh

2) which better to buy legal things Bitcoin or Normal Bank system (PP,payeer,cash ,.............)

Personally, I never buy something illegal. Both legal or illegal stuff can be bought by bitcoin, and so with the fiat. As far as I know many people with bad intention can use both system. So, it depends on people intention, it depends on their consideration of using bitcoin or fiat money because people have different situation, right?

Actually they all return to each individual in expressing something as you say. that indeed there are very many illegal examples made, such as laundering money obtained from illegal. banknotes produced from illegal, transacted to the crypto market to become bitcoin. so that later it will be done for all forms of transactions, the possibility of illegal actions will be difficult to trace where they came from. everything can happen, but if our intention not to do illegal will certainly not be done. because there are still many forms that can be done legally.

the use of bitcoin that we have is one of the sensitive things, because we are free to use anything, but we will not use it for something that violates the law, because our country is very selective about the entry of goods from our country, so we usually only sell it just buy on the money market, no need to exchange it into fiat currency.

I think people need to use bitcoin for legal things not use for illegal things. bitcoin is not a currency so we have to use the bitcoin for legal things.

Let me clear do you talking to a person when you say STAFF or a thing STUFF. However, If you are talking to a thing, Nope. As far as I know I never used Bitcoin to buy illegal stuffs because its unethical to do it and it can be a reason to destroy the image of Bitcoin in the world because as I know one of the reason why bitcoin banned by other country because it can be a tool to do some illegal activities which is not good.

You can use money to buy illegal stuff, you can use gold to buy illegal stuff, so it does not mean anything if someone uses bitcoin to buy illegal stuff. Bitcoin, fiat money, gold, are just different forms of the assets.

Indeed, the difference is only a way every perpetrator of a crime uses bitcoin, money fiat gold and others. You can use money fiat and gold as a transaction system for illegal goods if you meet directly with the seller, I mean you can only make transactions if you meet or know your identity. Unlike Bitcoin, you can keep your identity private from others and this is what causes everyone to get bitcoin, an easy-to-use tool for transacting illegal stuff.

Thats right and I do not u derstand why the mass media and the government make such sensation from new scam based on crypto if the same kind of people's scamming and even worse is happening with other things as fiat and metals?!

Not only bitcoin or another cryptocurrency used for illegal things! More often there used fiat money, especially cash. So don't make bitcoin illegal.

in our country, bitcoin cannot buy anything, because our country prohibits the use of bitcoin to be used as a payment tool , so we here only sell bitcoin on the money market , and we buy bitcoin for assets. but if bitcoin is allowed to be a legitimate exchange tool , of course we will use it to buy goods that do not violate the law .
