Criminal structures very tight started to keep pace with the times. It is therefore not surprising that the bitcoin can be used for bad purposes. Drugs and weapons are not the last products of which may be to pour using bitcoin.

Bitcoin is used for illegal activities by some. There is no doubt about it. But what makes Bitcoin different from the other payment methods is that, in the early days Bitcoin was very heavily used for the trade of drugs and weapons from dark market sites such as Silk Road and BMR. The other payment processors were used for illegal trade only after they got established themselves.
Yeah there is no denying that bitcoin is being used quite lot for illicit activities such as drugs or selling weapons and even hiring hitmans and this have affected the image of bitcoin pretty much. Because people keep reading news about how bitcoin is badly used by criminals, they unconsciously think that bitcoin is something really bad. But I think that no currency can escape from the fact that it will be used for illegal stuffs so it's all about changing people's view of bitcoin.
There is no way to prevent the bad use of fiat neither bitcoin or other altcoins, the owner can use it for anything he does wanna, the only thing that will show is the adress being used for such transaction, knowing its pseudo anonymous we dont know what are the funds for. Bitcoin has attracted several drug dealers, and the famous silk road, that were closed in the begining, but dark markeplaces keep playing and there is no way to stop all forever.
That's why there's a freedom for every users to do what they desire for their bitcoins. However, anything they committed illegal will have to be dealt accordingly with the law when caught. People will bad or illegal intension will always do, but in my case I would not try, it's hard to end up the rest of our life in jail.

Bitcoin is already used widely by many scammers in the online community and scamming is an illegal activity that victimizes a lot of investors who wants to try to their luck online. Many illegal activities are done online to avoid detection by the authorities like money laundering or drug trades using bitcoins.
Its already a normal thing on which bitcoin would definitely be used on illegal activities because of its anonymity feature and criminals and syndicates would really love that because they would able hard to traced by authorities, commonly they do operate on darknet thats why we dont see them on surface web transactions. I could really say that anonymity of bitcoin does really have advantage and disadvantage.

Definitely, bitcoins are being used for illegal activites. However, this is the case with every other currency so I don't think it should be much of a concern to the bticoin community, except the government may use it as an excuse to criminalize the use of bitcoin.
For example, cash is used to buy drugs. So??? What's the point???

Exactly, it does not make any difference unless a government make this thing a excuse for not accepting bitcoin by saying it is being used for illegal activities so it is a criminal's currency and we won't let it be used in our country, now that would be another thing.

it is the right of each person who uses bitcoin. but for me it was thought unwise. the purpose of using bitcoin is to facilitate transactions that are positive. people using bitcoin to negative actions are people who are not smart !!!

So u should start doing bitcoins through this forum ..kudoos 
That is certainly true, but not all of them use the bitcoin for illegal activities. Many also use bitcoin for their needs to transfer between countries so that they need not bother to exchange currency with a big enough fee. Just do something a good thing and not have to think about the negative impact when there are still many people who use the bitcoin for technological advancement. any illegal activity will definitely give you the worst thing for us, because it was so opposite of the law that is already made
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

Government can't ban Bitcoin, that's the whole point.

Bitcoin is not so much used to trade weapons, they're pretty hard to trade via internet and most sellers are actually LE honeypots. I base this of off info gotten through the darknetmarkets subreddit.
Never take information you read online for granted. There is no way that there are statistics available showing the popularity of people using Bitcoin in weapon related transactions. If you buy drugs or whatever, you keep your mouth shut. At least, that's what people with common sense would do. Obviously, drugs are much easier to transport than weapons for example. If you buy yourself a few grams of white, it can easily be hidden between well sealed post cards. It passes metal detectors, etc. So in that regard, compared to drugs, it's fairly easy to assume weapons are not being purchased as much as drugs through darknet markets.

It is pretty obvious that anything that has value can be use at anything from buying to exchange of goods. Well anything now can be use as a currency for illegal things, and Bitcoin is the right currency for them as it made there transactions hard to find. Well we can't blame Bitcoin as well it was design to be secure for us users, the only downside is it can be use also by criminals.
There is no currency in the world that is not involved in illegal activities, nor there is any thing in the world that cannot be used in an illegal way, but just because someone uses them in a bad way we cannot consider those things or currencies bad, it does not make the thing bad if it is used in a wrong way.
It has posibility that bitcoin can be used in illegal transaction since all people can access bitcoin have freedom to used bitcoin what ever they want but is always depends on the users.
