i have no such an idea but may be used as the other currencies are used for illegal activities.
but i am sure that bitcoin will be use for illegal activities. but i think it is not such an alarming situation. i think it is usual as in other currencies then why are people only targeting bitcoin. i think it is not fair.

Of course Bitcoin is used for illegal activities. Anything that has a monetary value could be used as a payment for illegitimate deals. Bitcoin just happens to be a digital currency that is very easy to be transferred between people and it leaves almost no visible traces to the original owner so shady people prefer to do business using it.

I totally agree that bitcoin is used for illegal activities. Bitcoin is anonymous and is very hard to detect. This motivates them to use btc for illegal activities. Its just money. Money can be used for anything. Either for good or bad.

Yup, I agree on this. Any currencies can be used for illegal puposes. Yes, many people keep their black money in dollars because the price is always high and it is very stable. Like wise Bitcoin is also used. Yes, it depends on how the people use this and for what purpose people are using it. 

Yes i am also agree with your statement. i think there were no such currency which will not use for illegal activities. therefore that is not a surprising news to say that bitcoin us use for illegal activities.

While my guitar gently weeps!!!
I don't know if some of Drug Lords uses bitcoin for there illegal translation. In my country gambling is illegal and so that some people not using bitcoin only for gambling purposes, so yes it is used for illegal activities.

Possibly they are using bitcoin,, Criminals too are good in knowing new things...Perhaps they are using it and probably they are not talking about it publicly for them to still have a safer way to transact their money.. Just like a network bug, those who discover it would keep it for them to take advantage of its use and share it to fewer people, and some idiots would display it publicly then ISPs would then fix it then boom!! bug is gone..

No full resolution or complete bans these risks are not removed. Bans only spur the use of illegal schemes, creating a black market, will lead to an outflow of specialists abroad and by themselves do not give the necessary analytical and technical framework to counter existing risks. They can also stimulate the transition of offenders with a fairly open Bitcoin more anonymous and secure cryptocurrency, causing much greater technical difficulties in the fight against illegal operations.

It can be used for illegal activities because Bitcoin is like a real money and it can be misused in many ways... And it can also be stored as a black money which is also illegal...


Ofcourse it is used by illegal activities. But I think it is normal to use Bitcoin for illegal activities. Nobody can control you and cant see what you bought.
But I think that must stop soon. Banks dont like it either and the government too. But I dont care.
every one is talking about this. but still no one has yet any proof about this. but if it is true so it is not so strange because illegal activities will be practice in all kinds of currencies. then why are we only talking about bitcoin.
When people is willing to do something bad, they will be willing to use all the available resources to do it. Unfortunately there are lots of detractors that have emphasized the use of bitcoins for illegal activities, but most of these crimes can also be carried out using fiat or metals with no problem.

People using bitcoin for illegal things is not bitcoin's fault. Bitcoin is just a currency. It's the thief/criminal who is at fault.
That is the main point but a lot of media is never consider about that. and some community just thought with raw uncooked without understanding about that before. and it isn't a fair.

the thing about media and showing a bad image of bitcoin is getting old, and smaller. these days bitcoin is showing its power to the world and especially after the Brexit situation media started to see a new and good face of bitcoin.

Not only bitcoin is used for illegal activities but also those other currencies not only the cryptos , they are also used for some illegal transaction either it is online or in-person and i think it is more often that dollars or any other currencies are used for that . And bitcoin should not be blamed because it is just a medium for transaction that is used payment .

In April 2012, the web site Betcoin lost 3,171 Bitcoins when someone hacked into three separate computers to rob the online gambling destination. With just a few mouse clicks, the thief made off with a load of digital currency that’s now worth close to $400,000. It has attracted many black hat hackers and some are selling illegal drugs as well.

There is no way you can totally control this but there are more criminals who use the dollar then bitcoin, this is a fact.
thats true, bitcoin was created as money and moneys nature is that it is usually being used for illegal stuff, bitcoin has nothing to do with crimes itself, people do that not bitcoins

It can be seen here. Gambling threads, gambling websites. I dont think there is a permit for that. They just open it and make an advertisement that they are open. Then people will come to gamble. That is illegal right?

Depends on the jurisdiction. In theory you should need a licence, ESP if the service is being offered via platform. But with the case of some of these smart contracts, the code would be the house, and I think it would be hard to sue the code. If the code never cashes out the funds, it never realized capital gains, and subsequently has no tax liability. Now that I've typed it out, I guess you are right; essentially offering gambling without a license is illegal. But enforcement in some cases would be almost impossible. Also, while this should be highly illegal, the government is being really cavalier about this at the moment for some reason.

True. Actually this gambling sites is being dealt by some countries now
Casinos will lose their income for they pay for taxes but players will be lesser and will just use the online gambling sites. Those who pay I think eill be doing a campaign to stop it for it will be unfair for them.
