Yes obviously criminal are using bitcoin more then real money transaction because it's anonymous and keeps their private information hidden. That make their mind to use bitcoin for illegal transaction. This had to be solved because if bitcoin is used for illegal activities then government could ban it earlier then they are supposed to be banned.

And it is in favor of them because there is no need for their real identity to be included for each illegal transactions that they are going through. I don't think that is fair enough that the government will ban bitcoin because of being abused and used by the criminals. How about dollars and other local currencies for they are also used for illegal transactions.

Just like dollar or any other currency is used for good as well as illegal activities, Bitcoin is also used for good and also illegal activities.It cant be avoided.The interesting thing is bankers and governments who hate Bitcoins try to create a picture that Bitcoin is only or mostly used for illegal activities.But its not fully true.

yes that is a fact that majority of good people are using bitcoin, although there will be so many people who may be using bitcoin for illegal activities, as people use Dollar and Euro for such kind of activities.

you are right that majority of good people are using bitcoin and we can be use any currency fiat or crypto currency for legal and illegal activity so depend on negative and positive mind if you are positive then you will us e it for good activity.

You have a genius opinion that it depends on our mind if we are good by our mind then we will use bitcoin for better and if someone will have bad mind then he will use bitcoin or any other currency only for his crimes.

Yes, because it is a currency that cannot be tracked, which is anonymous and perfect for illegal activities.

Bitcoin transactions can be tracked by all people if they so wish. The blockchain is open for everyone to browse through.

If you for example buy yourself 1BTC from an exchange, and you withdraw it to your wallet, and spend it afterwards, the exchange where you verified yourself with your personal information, linked your information to that 1BTC.

While you have got the impression that you are anonymously buying weapons or drugs with that 1BTC, the exchange in question knows exactly where your coins are going

If the government forces your exchange to release all your information and logs, then the exchange will kindly cooperate and supply the government with everything they need.

There is no way to control where bitcoin or any altcoin or even fiat is being spent at, if those would be possible mafia wouldnt exist, and several wars wouldnt have sponsorship to keep attacking countries and people.

You are right because they own it so they will use it the way they want, I don't even see anything wrong. If they are not known to BTC they will use some other currency, maybe gold or something. So if guns are used for security they are also being used for killing innocent people.

I really think that your thread really meant nothing because bitcoin is a currency and just like other currency like dollar or other fiat money that are mostly involve in illegal transaction and can be involve in some illegal organization bitcoin is just the same if apply to some illegal activities that is why it is really common sense on what would people do with their bitcoin.

As long it has a value it would surely being used on illegal services and transaction. as you said its up to people decision on how they gonna handle this things and how they would use up their money. Bitcoin is being used for sure on illegal things because of its anonymity feature.

And I must say here that paypal is being used for even more illegal activities and added to illegal its being used for scamming also. Any currency can be used for scamming or hacking just whats the best thing is "stay away from such people " and there is absolutely no need to care about them.

The question would make sense if bitcoin were controled and regulated by some company, since bitcoin its decentralized there is no way to us know where the coins are being spent, and sure as long something has value it can be used for legal and ilegal stuffs and bitcoin isnt different.

Yeah bitcoin work decentralized different with a normal fiat that can not decentralized. Also bitcoin is anonymously currency if someone using it, so i am totally agree if you said that hard to detect who using bitcoin for illegal activities.
The real identity of users secure when they use bitcoin for illegal activities such as transactions drugs or etc.

i heard many illegal activities used bitcoin in deepweeb
but i think it will rise bitcoin in the future
many ppl used it so many ppl will look for it

yeah I think it is true that the news that there are many users who use bitcoin for illegal activities, even gambling also is illegal, because the bitcoin system are anonymous, this makes the user more comfortable using bitcoin for illegal activities

I have saw only a few places where it was used as illegal and on a lot of places it is used for good and gambling is illegal in some places not in all countries so in those countries where gambling is legal we cannot say that people are doing illegal with bitcoin.

even china bans banks from using bitcoin only, not other than that in china. the places used as illegal is few just like Indonesia IIRC. nobody can intuitively state if people is using bitcoin illegally unless what anyone own was exposed to be illegal, to do that, you might even have to decrypt their data they have / had encrypted. in US i guess that bitcoin is taxable, but i don't really rich in that law since i am not in the US.

true I think it depends on its own uses, although the currency that does not have a system of anonymous but if the user was using for illegal activities, it could happen right and I think this is often the case, drug deals and so fort do you think they pay using what? of course fiat

Its probably just some lazy reporters looking for an easy story.
They need to have a hot new topic to report on, and kids buying drugs on the internet is something that people will read.

If we started seeing this type of news on a consistent basis on more mainstream news outlets,
then I would start to believe there was some form of misinformation campaign going on.

It's the corrupted media reporting about something that is happening with just ANY currency in this world. Trust me, the dollar is used way more in illegal transactions and nobody writes a report about it...
