Bitcoin is untraceable unless and until you transact it into your bank account. The calculation is very simple here, whenever you use a local exchanger with bank account connected to it then bank will understand from nature of business that it is associated with crypto currency’s. Nonetheless any peer to peer transaction will also have many doubts since you will have to justify the income while filing the taxation. It is just very easy track down in that way.  So answering to your question it’s anonymous until you use bitcoin to bitcoin network and not to Fiat.

Same with fiat currency. A lot of uses for illegal things.
That's why as times goes by these kinds of news started to become normal for everyone.
Even with the use of fiat currency on such illegal things, still government cannot totally avoid it, so it is more difficult to Bitcoin as decentralized currency.

Nothing we can do about it. People knew how to use decentralisation on a negative aspect. It's kinda hard to accept that those guys are using the beauty of bitcoin and it's peer to peer activity. No doubt this will make a huge fud on crypto and bitcoin and the government where those incident happened will be alarmed that cryptocurrency has indeed has negative application cause aside from the freedom to use it. People can decide to use it on like this which is quite unfortunate.

As much as this will obviously put bitcoin in a bad light, it is really no one's fault neither is it bitcoin's fault.
It has been known for a long time that no good thing has always been used for good. You should also know every thing has its advantages and disadvantages.
Well, maybe one of the disadvantages of bitcoin is the fact that it can be used for criminal purposes. This however doesn't change the fact that bitcoin is good and is created for our financial freedom

he could have just run but leave his daughter to his wife or grandparents instead, shes got a better future when freely she can go to school than being with a fugitive. it will just add up to his crimes.
it appears like they just insert that Bitcoin idea there but didn't prove he is actually using BTC. well, again it will put BTC in the bad light like it did in the past.

-snip- but bitcoin is different because as we know bitcoin threatens fiat currencies and governments will not let go of any opportunity they have to try to scare people away from bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not an outright threat to fiat. Fiat remains fiat and can never be replaced by bitcoin. Because in truth bitcoin is only a revolutionary digital currency which is another option for today's more modern payment problems. Governments have their respective regulations and every government in the world has different regulations regarding the application of bitcoin in their country. Some of the people who scare about bitcoin are those who are against bitcoin and really intend to drop bitcoin. Bitcoin which is identified with criminals is certainly not entirely true, because traces that are generated from using bitcoin cannot be erased, making it easy to catch criminals by tracing bitcoin transactions that have been made.

Remember that people is very sensitive on Bitcoin matters issue since it is a new payment system so expect that this kind of simple news will give a bad reputation on it. Just like the President of the USA, He/she can be easily target by fake propaganda since he/she is hot on everyones eye and which only means that he has a lot of enemy.

In Bitcoin case. Banks and other traditional payment system are it's enemy.
That is the thing, we know that every single piece of technology can be used to do bad things, however in the case of many other technologies governments have no problem with them because they are not threatened by them and in fact get huge benefits out of them, a great example of this is social media, but bitcoin is different because as we know bitcoin threatens fiat currencies and governments will not let go of any opportunity they have to try to scare people away from bitcoin.

The "Bitcoin is being used by terrorists and gangsters" narrative is old(and nobody gives a s*it),so the BTC haters will begin with the "Bitcoin is being used by the pedophiles." narrative.Disgusting Angry
People,who don't know s*it about Bitcoin,think that BTC is truly anonymous,which is so wrong.
Spreading awareness and educating more people about Bitcoin/blockchain is the only way to battle all the misleading FUD propaganda.

Same old, rehearse bad narrative about BTC or crypto in general.

But obviously majority of us don't used crypto this way and it's just a small percentage. But those no coiners or at least those who don't like crypto will spin this narrative to portray it as something that criminals have been using for their illicit activities. As compare to Fiat? it is very small and the use might go going down every year as criminals can't really cover or hide their tracks through bitcoin.

The only thing you need to remember tho is that Fiat currency is ALSO used by criminals, peedo scum, corrupt government scum and banker scum ... So there is no argument that BTC is going to end the world of God abiding good to do Christians and socialist governments because everyone is inherently bad as is all forms of monetary exchange. Everything and everyone is open to corruption. If we were all trading in bags of compost, compost would be open to corruption.

If you can't understand that then you don't understand how this short experience called life works.

It definitely will put it in a bad light when you include pedophiles in the same thread about bitcoin being used as a runaway money, not to mention that it is also a situation in USA, the land full of ignorant people and manipulation, the sin capital.

internet - mostly every fking social media platform is being used by paedophiles all the time. No one cares. It will not put a bitcoin in bad light either.

Paper cash (real untraceable asset) is being used in such situations all the time. No one cares.

Bitcoin has nothing incommon with this case. Does not significantly help and at the first mistake will expose his every move - unlike cash.

If this story gets even more mainstream, I think that bitcoin will definitely suffer as there are a lot of media personality there that are willing to talk shit about bitcoin and they are going to sensationalize this story as something that will hurt bitcoin.

just came across this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSr_XZLFnS8

a father running from the authority is using bitcoin to cover his tracks while running from the authorities for kidnapping his daughter since 2019.

I decided to post it here to also spread awareness and for the people who might be in the area and might have come across this dude.

to add more information here's an article
https://www.fox13news.com/news/tennessee-teen-kidnapped-by-father-in-2019-may-be-in-tampa-officials-say

these kinds of criminal activity would definitely put bitcoin in another bad light(not that I really care what they think) again especially when it helps the criminal cover its tracks. but it is funny when they said that bitcoin is untraceable when the technology behind bitcoin was the reason why hundreds of paedophile around the world were arrested.

for those who might be curious here's an article related to the paedophiles being arrested
