As I'm sure you all know, Bitcoin is a currency that allows users to make money or send money anonymously, with little to no concern of the government taxing your hard earnings, and not being able to know what a trade is revolved around. Bitcoin as of now has a reputation of being a dangerous asset to the world of illegal transaction (theft, scams, and overall illegal activity). There has been proof that bitcoins and other currencies similar such as altcoin and so on have been continuously tied to illegal activity.

My concern as an interested participant in the act to make this currency a well occupied currency is being threatened and truly compromised by people who still to this day sell and purchase illegal substances, and services. I constantly read people's trust commentary pages on how some users are "pedophiles" or sell stolen property. My only wish is that we get our acts together as adults, and prove to society that we are not criminals. We are just people that enjoy our privacy, enjoy being what we want, and enjoy freedom. Thank you.


Your thoughts?


With most people i talk dont really think of Bitcoin that way. Biggest reason why they dont trust it, since they believe if our government print money, that means they take profit, so sort of the community. With bitcoin, someone else take profit. I guess electricity companies.

I guess I feel annoyed, frustrated, maybe impatient. I've got a fair amount of money invested in bitcoin & my holdings are currently at a loss USD value wise compared to what I initially invested.

Bitcoin will either succeed massively or die, I don't think there is any middle ground. We should know which way the scales tip within 5 or so years.

US dollar is also used in many criminal activities. Does it have negative reputations?

BTC is used 90% by the "black markets"(which includes HYIPs aka "Forex") . Without them, BTC would not exist or its value would be almost zero.

I use bitcoin only for good causes.

It's a good sign...

just look at the internet early days, remember when if you used the internet in the mid 80's you were a criminal, outcast, geek, weirdo.. whatever?
When you are something that is against the current train of thought and you can see potential behind it, you are on the winning team.

It's FUD

"blockchains are anonymous" is what they want you to believe silly Shrem



"We won the war on drugs because of bitcoin"

Not so fast Mr. Roberts, blockchains are immutable which means "transparent"

which means indisputable evidence like DNA.

Saying that bitcoin is anonymous is as ignorant as saying that you can get AIDS from a toilet seat.



No one with a clue ever said "Bitcoin is anonymous", it's all about how you use it. It can be as anonymous as it gets, and it will only get more anonymous in the future. Once Darkwallet, Zerocoin etc get released, plus the incoming confidential transactions etc... it will be pretty anonymous for those that want that extra.

That's not true at all. 80-90% of the drugs are still sold for dollars or euros. HYIPs are very different than Forex and by the way, the biggest fraud we are seeing right now (at least the smart people are seeing) is happening on Wall Street with the help of FED, they all use dollars.


O did I mention that with the help of the dollar, US government is funding a lot of wars and killing a lot of people?

bitcoin doesnt really have a negative reputation imo. its just the criminal activitites associated with bitcoin that give it a bad name. but it also shows that bitcoin is anonymous so i guess thats a plus.

When new things get brought into the environment you are always going to have a bad reputation.  There is no question about it.  One of the problems is a lot of people think Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme.  Although this is probably true for some people there is so much more to Bitcoin than getting rich.

Your thoughts?

There is a lot of ways to make illegal transactions with the other currencies, and scammers do it already everyday online and offline using Dollar and Euro currencies and so on. I don't see any specific relation about this and the Bitcoin especially. You think or believe that Bitcoin have a "negative" reputation because of this, it's just your own opinion , i don't think it's real fact.

Very true, which is why we need to stop illegal activity being performed with our currency and shape up.

I feel bad, because I've been trying hard to introduce Bitcoin to the people.
But now, everyone would be hard to interested to use Bitcoin.

Don't make bad to yourself from something that has nothing to do with you - the opinion of the others for the bitcoin - and that cannot be changed if don't want to be changed even if don't see facts about the being bad of bitcoin or don't want to see that bitcoin is a wonderful and great invention. If they cannot understand that peer to peer from what is invented bitcoin is a revolutionary thing which will change radically the world of technologies connected with this, this is a fact that they or are unable to understand (this is not your fault and you must leave those in their wolrd) or don't want to understand (and in this case is in vain to talk with those).

In every case you have made the maximum for the bitcoin and you must be proud for this and not feeling bad.

No impact,
While all currencies can be used for negative things, they also can be used for positive ones, an increased awareness of the utility of Bitcoin and usability for the end user is what matters at the end of the day, perceptions can change.

and probably they dont have bitcoin even 10k satoshi  Tongue

or they sold it a the wrong time, like the troll on the speculation board and now they are mad as fuck against everything related to it

there will be always hated toward everything, from at least one person on the planet, therefore, better not worry about these individuals
