Topic: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities - page 102. (Read 139748 times)
Even bitcoin is illegal in different countries and also real money is using for illegal activities. Bitcoin just make it a bit secretive for criminals. But anyway criminals just trying to find a good method for their activity nothing special.
Bitcoin could be used illegally, but the government's are doing a surprising lot, doing size-related searches on the blockchain. But gold, diamonds, PayPal and cash have been used illegally too.
Except that banks and governments control fiat. So they want be banking or scarring people from using fiat. They don't control Cryptocurrencies.
I see more and more acrticles of bitcoin being used for illegal activities
will this hurt bitcoin in the long run , will governments ban this just like they started to do wih paying in cash for some services
to harden the use of illegal , and money laundering

The damage has already been done,I think what we see now is people figuring out that a lot of the garbage they threw bitcoins way was a typical smear campaign. Lot of the articles refer to the same issue over and over and people will either tune it out or look deeper.
many people use it as go to money especially when your doing illegal work. It's much easier for them because it's anonymous. The fact is all currency is being used as illegal activities.
Some people don't view alot of things as illegal these days. Look at marijuana, for instance. It is not legal in many states but are in alot of other American cities such as Colorado and some parts of California.
Bitcoin transactions are show and will always be visible to any one that has the adress ,sure ilegal activities use bitcoin but the main resorce is fiat.With fiat is harder to trace where the money went,but well bitcoin will be always just connected to the bad things as others companies keep paying for the media talk about the how bad is bitcoin.
It may affect bitcoin in a whole as it would ruin it public view and the few people who use BTC may even stop using it. In the end we all just have to realise that we are not the criminals or people who use BTC for. Right. we have nothing to fear. and so we should continue using it.
Yep and not just bitcoin, all currency around the world are used for illegal activity, no currency arent use for legal activity.
Bitcoin could be used illegally, but the government's are doing a surprising lot, doing size-related searches on the blockchain. But gold, diamonds, PayPal and cash have been used illegally too.
everything can be used illegally like PayPal, credit card etc.. The only thing that makes bitcoin mostly used illegally such as deepweb stuffs is its anonymity which is good too..
Im confident majority Bitcoin users are good legitimate people or just speculators waiting for higher price.

Yes is it being used to do illegal activities like buying drug and guns.
If you look back these past few years theres a website called silkroad which sells illegal items that cant be sold on a normal site.
On darkweb you can watch people getting killed with a cost of bitcoin.

Yup it is used by illegal activities. But I think it is normal to use Bitcoin for illegal activities. Nobody can control you and cant see what you bought.
But I think that must stop soon. Banks don't like it either and the government too.
No more than USD is being used for illegal activities.
If you took a look at the percentages of Bitcoin being used for illegal activities vs. the percentage of USD activities being used for illegal activities, Bitcoin would win by a huge amount
do you seriously think bitcoin is used more for bad things than the us dollar? you must be kidding, right? nothing in the world can come even close to the harm done by the us dollar.... bitcoin is of course also being used for illegal stuff, but in comparison to the us dollar, bitcoin doesn't even come close to 0,01% of the total harm done by by the us dollar. that fiat currency is being used to fund entire wars. but as always, the media picks always bitcoin out of everything. it clearly has influenced you.
Boldfaced it for you. Bitcoin's only unique use cases are crime, that's why it's users are disproportionately criminal. While USD is used to build roads and buy baby formula, BTC is mainly used to buy CP & shitty dwugs on DNMs. With the proceeds of your successful ransomware/extortion/scam investment/internet gambling operation.
And sure, USD was used to fund wars. Defeating the Axis in WW2, for instance. So you can whine about teh evol USD instead of getting gassed & incinerated.
UR welcome

With the criminals using bitcoin as their payment well they are really secured,they can take payments without any one noticing it.
Anonymous yes,criminals like it anonymous as much as possible to do their deeds.

Its used for illegal activities but every currency is used by criminals so that is no new thing in my opinion.

Regardless of how Bitcoin works, I doubt it can't be used for illegal activities. These articles about Bitcoin being used for illegal activities are kind of free publicity for Bitcoin, IMO. No worries about it. And, no, the governments can ban it but they can't stop it. will this hurt bitcoin in the long run , will governments ban this just like they started to do wih paying in cash for some services

that's dumb statement, bitcoin is a currency and currency can be used for anything if the user want,just like people do use dollar to buy drugs or anything illegal? its the same like when you use btc,and about money laundering, its possible to be done through any currency, do you ever saw people buying a very simple painted canvas with only 2 colors like red and blue ? and they bought it for $5 million? do you think its normal or money laundering?
Yes exactly, while i was reading this i was like omg *facepalm* . Anything with value can be traded for anything else. So i give you candy to go kill someone for me then we ban candy ? This whole thing about BTC and crime is really annoying but eh, let them think whatever they want to.

Market cap of US dollars is also significantly higher. So it is normal that this FIAT was and is used the most by criminals.
Times changes tho and it is only natural that bitcoin - and other digital currencies will be used a lot more for conducting illegal transactions.
