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
of course bitcoin have been using for many illegal activities since 2010 by many hacker and illegal organization. However, do not worry about that, many bad guys still use FIAT money for illegal job and no one can prevent them. And now people use bitcoin more usually, the government can not ban bitcoin Smiley

Its been really  used  since it was created because  of its anonymity  and  criminal people would  really like that  because its really hard to trace them  up  with using bitcoin  thats  why its commonly used on  darknet and we should really accept the fact regarding  on this thing and we cant do anything about it.

yea and nobody dont go to stop it because many bitcoin jobs are mafia jobs and big corruption
I don't think this is true, there are several other uses of bitcoin and bitcoin are also being used for donation, tipping, funding projects, forex trading etc.
yes this is not trie bitcoin is not mostly used for illegal activities whenever it will be approved by the governments and they will start to use it for their country the governments will charge it the same as other currency and it will have the same image as other currency.

Yes, No one can deny that bitcoin is sometimes being used for illegal activities, However the same is applied worldwide since any currency in the world is being used for anything, since this is the fault of the users and not the fault of the currency itself.
Yes, currency is not some kind of moral thermometer that will not allow you to make a transaction if it is illegal; currency is there to help you make an easier trade whether the trade is legal or illegal.

Yes, bitoin is used on many illegal activities like buying on the blackmarket sites... Use to buy killer etc..it is widely use in the underground transaction in china.

Bitcoin isn't any different from how fiat is being used. It's money, so it does get used for all kinds of things. And yes, also things that are not right. But we know that, and once again, just like fiat is being for illegal things, we can't do anything about it.

yes for some because they can mix it up and avoid being detected easily because of the mixing of coin address . Usually people use bitcoin for sending payment buying illegal goods because it cannot track and detect real life information so bitcoin is the best currency for doing that.

Yes it is used in illegal activities using deep web. Also I guess those btc big transaction has been made by those people in deep web. They are using bitcoin mixer to be able hard to find for authority.

But the amount of people of these types are much lesser there are much lesser criminal people who are using bitcoin for illegal purposes and most of the people who start to use bitcoin often try to join its other ways to earn bitcoin.

With your post I can say that if we will teach everyone the ways of earning bitcoins in good manner then they will not need to go for bad way to earn money and they will not accept to do any wrong for earning money.

Surely it is... But any kind of currency is being used for illegal activities also. The problem isn't the coin, it's not the Bitcoin, the problem are the illegal activities. Authorities should stop accuse the Bitcoin and its supporters and send to the jail who is using it to create issues over the world.

Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and even fiat all serve as opportunities for criminals as well "everything illegal is done using those, right?", but society keeps them around due to their recognized benefit. so using bitcoin on illegal activities will not harm bitcoin that much.

Yes. We should accept the fact that Bitcoin is being used for illegal activities. We cannot hide nor stop the possibility because it is used for anything.
Well, you're right. in fact it has always used. I guess after the first bitcoin's price, bitcoin is always used for such activities, but for now the use of bitcoin have been more to the activities of the illegal legal. it may be because of the potential bitcoin already started to be seen by many people. so many people have stopped using it for illegal activities

I think that every single currency is being used for illegal activities and neither bitcoin nor dollar is an exception. And think of dollar, it might be the most "illegal" currency in the world since it seems to be that most of the deep webs transactions use dollar and people keep using dollar. So it's not necessary to be worried about bitcoin being affected by the illegal things have been done with it.
The time will come and the power of any state finds a way to control the first exchange transactions with cryptocurrency and then illegal payment in the criminal world will end.

like fiat moneys bitcoins can be used for illegal activities but today  the majority of bitcoin activities are legal, and if you want to exchange that money for fiat you maybe need to share your personal information I think this politic reduces the ratio of ilegal activities.
No actually i don't think this can stop bitcoin or any other fiat from using for illegal activities as there are many ways from which hackers/criminals can pass through such KYC regulation and i have heard few cases where hackers/criminals have used fake identity proofs to get through exchange and withdraws.
It can be happen since many online activities are collecting real information that can use to fake their identity using their collected identity from others..
And i think many people are still doing it even not in bitcoins..

This kind of situation  is  not new  on  online world  which is  trully happening  that other people do use  others  information to  use  on scamming  purposes  and its really a  bad  thing for  those people who are victim on this schemes. Thats why  we should  be very careful on exposing our real information on web.
The main priority of everyone should be to never openly talk about who you are and where you live, etc.

It's not only here on this forum, but everywhere on the internet there are scammers out to use your personal information to look legit and scam people.

That's why an alternative currency such as Bitcoin comes very handy for people doing side jobs on the internet, but at the same time want to remain anonymous for the outside world.
