Of course it is, just like all other forms of money are.

I will also say yes it is, as bitcoin is also a currency/money and the criminals work for the sake of money, so wherever they find any money they will start their job at there to grab others money .

Its not just bitcoin that is used for illegal activities but also other form of currency the news about bitcoin that it is being used to illegal is just a form of propaganda and they are ignoring the fact that paper money is also used for illegal activities.

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

LOL, you're right, if using dollars, illegal activity would be very easily tracked, but if using bitcoin illegal activity may not be trackable or may be very difficult

Lol do you think the criminals not use the services of the bank to transact it was foolish man! they do a cash payment system they are not going to unmask their own using public transaction. swiss bank is not as tight as before.
criminals are still comfortable using dollars for illegal activities

Still some criminal love to see a real money when they do transaction as it keep them at ease when doing it.
The new criminal are now using bitcoin to real hide their track when selling something.

I think the dollar has a greater percentage of crime because they are first used. bitcoin still new. the age is 7 years. so little is using bitcoin as illegal.

With a such anonymity , easy transaction or any other benefits that a user experience in bitcoin , it's really one of the best option to those people who are using it in illegal activities. It doesn't mean that bitcoin used most all the time. Illegal activities are everywhere. There such place that can't be reached with bitcoin.

I heard that over 90% of USD cash is used in illegal activities, guess bitcoin is almost in the same ball park

The people that use it are bad not the method of making the trade. It can be fiat or gold if not bitcoin.
Sure, anything can be used for illegal activities. It is the source that is to blame not the medium which it is used.

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.

Depends on the definition of "illegal" in whos mind or perception and what religious beliefs fall into play,yada yada.

Only look down on a few activities,molesting kids and women. Conning old people and beating women or kids.
Everything else is fair game if I ruled the globe. Pedophiles create pedophiles,so I say round them up and be proactive in
limiting them in this manner. Thats the side of bitcoin I dislike a ton.

No matter people who have bitcoin use bitcoin for what. I think if that bitcoin's user doing and illegal activities with bitcoin will impact their self. But for bitcoin doesn't ban from government, we as kind bitcoin's user must safe bitcoin and don't use it for illegal activities.

People will use anything at their disposal for illegal activities, that's just how it is.

It doesn't matter if it is Bitcoin, if it is Dollars, Euros, etc. Someone will use some form of currency to find an end for their means.

You guys should go check out the deep web and see howthey are making payments in their transactions. They are using bitcoins for these blackmarkets and illegal activities everywhere in the world mainly because anonimity is one of bitcoins features.

Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 are you saying there were no crimes,frauds,scams or illegal activities before invention of bitcoins?Obviously there were illegal activities the only difference btc has made is it has made it hard to track the money used in such activities but crime can still be cracked

That's true , don't blame on bitcoin! Far before bitcoin invented there's so many crime and illegal activities.
It's just the matter of time that bad guys found an evil idea to abusing/ misusing a bitcoin eminence.
Everything depends on how we respond and react to , ignore people who thinks and do bitcoin being used for illegal activities and show to the world how good bitcoin are.
