"Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities?"
do bears shit in the woods?
it is the main currency of the deep web
read:drugs,weapons,porn(including child porn) etc etc.
lot of the online casinos accept bitcoins,one can gamble even if he lives in one of the countries that has restrictions
thus breaking the laws
you don't need tons of paper to transfer millions of dollars,laundering "dirty" coins is easier
so bitcoin has become the weapon of choice for criminal elements around the globe

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 numbers of countries had banned the bitcoin in their countries because pf the illegal activities . here bitcoin is not illegal but many people are uses it as illegally . so many countries are looking to ban it further some countries accepted bitcoin as official best currency .

In any countries they have different views regarding  into bitcoin some may adopt  it and some  would banned it because they saw the  threat especially it could be used on illegal transaction but for me if they saw  the  positive side of bitcoin they would surely change their  mind i guess.
That is very ridiculous.How can bitcoin be good for one country and bad for other.The fact is, countries which have want to contol their citizens,ban Bitcoin and countries that have some freedom,allow bitcoin

It is sad that from the image created by the mass media around the world many people get the impression that Bitcoin is mostly beeing used for illegal activities. I hope the situation will change in the future and then much more people will be adopting Bitcoin without hesitation.

First impression is the most important impression you can leave on people. I don't think this will change. Especially because of the media is constantly spreading their ignorance ragarding Bitcoin through all sorts of sites and tv channels.

Yes as it's anonymous currency I believe that post do use bitcoins for illegal activities. Government can't ban this as no one have control over bitcoins but I thing bitcoins is good for individuals as well as organizations or companies that government can't take any money from them as they can't find anything except bitcoin address even address can be changed. So I thing bitcoins is good for the people.

Yeah media has played a major role in creating a negative impression of bitcoins in the minds of the people as they feel that it is a currency only used by criminals and if they start using it then they will be in trouble.
Fuck the media, some of them are just out to poison the mind of the people while protecting the interest of a particular people especially those corrupt ones who are in the government, it is just a bad publicity but if you are a complete believer you will not be affected on that instead you will invest more for your future.

to me not only bitcoin but all the other currency either crypto or fiat currency all may be use for illegal activities but i think there is not fault of the currency in such illegal activities, i think the government and the other authorities should take a step against the people who are involve in such illegal activities and to stop them.

Well, on that matter, that is their decision only and actually it is easy to use bitcoin for illegal activity because it is anonymous and easy to spend online. Maybe, they are one of the reason why bitcoin is progressive and in demand nowadays and that is proven by the price increase.

If you have ever heard about ransomware then you should understand that this virus is illegal because encrypts all your files in your computer and asks for money (bitcoins) to send to the hacker and get the decryption key to decrypt the files.

The problem isn't Bitcoin being used for illegal activities, it is the fact that common, harmless everyday activities are illegal.

Yeah I know that there are some people that make use of Bitcoin in a bad way because there is not much that the police can do.
But that does not mean that everyone is using Bitcoin in a bad way because that is not the case at all.

Everyday it is being used in illegal activities. You could see it in twitter and facebook. Those scam site are attracting people then run away after they get what they want.
Well, as such many people use paypal for scamming others and even use it for trading illegal things like drugs and all, so shall we stop using paypal and other e-currency processors ? NO then why even bother if bitcoins are being used for illegal activities.

Per capita, most people dabble some, play a bit, leave and either never come back or visit infrequently, primary use.....novelty.  Until the past year or three, largest transaction...used to buy and sell illegal items most likely, maybe still holding the record, but many of these sites have and move numbers close to those.

I am not surprised that a lot of countries that doesn't allow bitcoin to penetrate their country because of this kind of thinking and we can't blame.

Because it is real that bitcoin is being used for illegal activities daily in the deep web and other dark marketplaces too.

But it is unfair to think that bitcoin is the only thing being used for this type of activities, don't forget about fiat money too.
