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

In darknet or deepweb yes theres alot of people who using bitcoin for illegal activities like buying drugs,cocaine and those s*x toy for their own good goverment has nothing to do with this bitcoin is more secured than bank (in my own opinion) and will continue to make identity hidden.

The answer is half yes, half no. Many people buy illegal things on dark net, while some good persons do legal things, like buying ordinary goods, food, and so forth.

Everythin is used for q criminal activity, i eon't believe that that fact could hurt bitcoin thqt much on the long run. Thqt fact could slow down btcs progress at the beginning but i believe it wont have any impact later on.

That is true that everything can be used for illegal activity. We cannot deny the fact that even the best of currencies are being used by people for illegal activities but there is nothing wrong in it. I mean if we are not using it for illegal activity then we don't have to worry or get upset that bitcoins are being used for any wrong activity.

I don't even think it will effect bitcoin at all. it won't make it's price slower or anything. if people using bitcoin for illegal activities then it is those people's fault. those people should be guilty for doing these activities.. not bitcoin.
bitcoin is just a currency. it is upto users that how they treat it and how they use it.

My goverment forbid bitcoin for this reason as my country fully aware of terorism. Imagine if my goverment approve bitcoin and terorist use this advantage to use this bitcoin to made their transaction even more difficult for being trace !

This is one of the problem that terorist can use bitcoin to transact anonymously.. it can also give bad image for bitcoin thats why i think government still not accepting bitcoin and other company online..

That is not the main concern of terrorist group since most of their dealing are covered most by fiat currencies and other assets.

Yes bitcoin can give them a quite anonymous transaction but believe me that is just their option and can't considered as a main one.

at the same time the goverment can also use bitcoin to find out about transactions. Its always possible to track these terrorist.

My country are also in drug war and have been looking into bitcoin for possibilities, thats why i've read bitcoin in our newspaper last few weeks.

All governments are simply a small froup of people taking away the freedom of a lot of other people, all under the guise of protecting the other people. The thing the government people are really doing is making money off the other people. Bitcoin reduces the ability of government people to make so much money off their citizens.

Bitcoin probably is being used in illegal activities, but not any more than any fiat currency. That said, most to all governments make legality a gray area anyway, making it a very poor metric to go by.

Some other people they are using bitcoin in illegal activities in darkweb they are use it because of anonymity like selling drugs or weapons.
I think until now they are using bitcoin in illegal activities that can affect the image of bitcoin..

Does anyone know what happen with all those bitcoins stolen from Bitfinex? It could go to some illigal activities as terrorism or something. Today terrorists are equiped with money and technologies, so who knows, maybe it is exactly they did this big grab.

May or may not be. May because no one can track it until or unless the person caught in time. May not because Bitcoin is not yet used at larger areas. And not accepted at stores. But if someone is caught using this for illegal purposes it may be baned by that country.

Anyone who say bitcoin is used to illegal activities should tell that there were no illegal activities before bitcoin was launched?
Its all depends on user how to plan to use it but a specific payment system isn't made to use for illegal activities,many people use cash and many other payment systems for illegal activities.

Well news or media will make it bad as fast as they could. They just fail all the time. That is also one good thing when someone is not controlling it. Who will they charge against this dark methods? No one. No one claims bitcoin as theirs. It is one hell of a free currency.

Yes just as much as dollar is being used for illegal activities. What makes bitcoin so attractive for criminals is that it is very anonymous so nothing is able to trace back almost. This is why criminals buy weapons etc with it on the darkweb via tor no IP no trace to payments nothing just the stuff they ordered. Be careful there's alot of bad people into bitcoin aswell.

whether it's bitcoin, gold, cash money, prepaid debit cards, people will use all these for not legal things. that's why governments have set up certain policies in order to push back the use of these tools for criminals. you can't even buy gold here without the store to scan your id. it's insane.

that's dumb statement, bitcoin is a currency and currency can be used for anything if the user want,just like people do use dollar to buy drugs or anything illegal? its the same like when you use btc,and about money laundering, its possible to be done through any currency, do you ever saw people buying a very simple painted canvas with only 2 colors like red and blue ? and they bought it for $5 million? do you think its normal or money laundering?

that's good fact

Yes ofcourse bitcoin is being used for illegal activities for example buying drugs and weapons thats alot of times that they do that.
I even see people hiring hitman for it so watchout bitcoin can drag you into heavy stuff dont go on dark marketplaces and deep web thats crazy stuff i see there and definitely not pegi13
