I am not sure about this but I think that it is being used for illegal activities but I do not pay any attention to that because I am here for my self.
That people are here for illegal stuff that is there problem and they should decide what to do.

What you are thinking is true, BITCOIN is being used for illegal activities. Ever since, it was used as payment for drugs, smuggled guns, money laundering, pornography, even child pornography. The feature of BITCOIN greatly attracts those groups that are operating underworld. It's fast trasaction that don't need mediators, and the anonymity of it were exploited by this so called group.

off course is bitcoin being used for illegal activities the only most reason why they are using it is becasue you will stay anonymous after you
pay with bitcoins you know and criminals want to be anonymous so they are happy to pay with bitcoins think most of the users are doing illegal things.

In the first place there are questions of illegal transactions, tax evasion, money laundering, proceeds of crime. In fact, using the means of payment without necessarily identifying the members of the operation, these operations easier to perform. Also on hand to criminals irreversibility of committed transactions and block any transaction, even if we know exactly what this purse belongs to the criminal.
Legislative ban on transactions with cryptocurrency help here, too, can not, unfortunately. Law-abiding citizens and work permit with cryptocurrency will not break the law.

Yes i think bitcoin is used at illegal things too. Like buying drugs , Guns ,or illegal things on the black market. Bitcoin can be used at good things too like donating to a charity anonymously

Everything has two sides, one is positive and another one is negative. But we need to see that where is the majority.

I think majority of bitcoin users are using it in a legal way and just a handful of them are using it for illegal transactions. However, this does not decrease the importance of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a life changing innovation and one should use bitcoin to make their dreams come true. Criminals will be there but does it really bothers you?

Bitcoin is used for illegal activities but so are many other currencies, I do not see how this could effect the Bitcoin price.

Lol of course it does not give a bad effect on bitcoin. whoever will not know that you're going to perform illegal transactions such as buying drugs using bitcoin? although the transaction transaparance but people will not know the purpose of your bitcoin transaction so not bad effect for this illegal activity?

Lol I think the illegal activity will not give adverse effects to the price of bitcoin. something bitcoin transaction will be highly confidential. so maybe everyone does not know which of illegal transactions?

i think in this world every flat or electronic currencies must be used for illegal activities. then why are we talking only about bitcoin. is the reason is that some people want to devalue it.

yes you are right, it is the problem with people that how they use bitcoin, bitcoin is only a currency and with that good people do good activities while those people who have black mind do wrongs with that.

Black mind? That sounds a little racist lol im not sure that's what you meant or anything but BTC is used for illegal activities and the best we can do to stop it is just to stay away from it ourselves and make sure our friends dont do it.

You have to look at the bright side of btc sometimes and the brightside is we're making bank off of something online.

If black mind is racist, so is black market or black sheep.
Bitcoin being used for illegal activities does no harm to it, except in the minds of people who don't realize it is just a tool.
Technology enables good guys as well as bad guys.

Saying some peole they have blace mind isnt racist. And indeed black mind people does the bad thing. It is on you how you use
bitoins. But people also uses it for converting black money into white and off course money laundering !

Nothing is considered racist as long as nobody mentions the word 'racist' and unfortunately, somebody did mention racist because he's probably a little oversensitive with words.Bitcoin isn't bad. It's the users who are influencing the reputation of bitcoins and it's true that bitcoins are usually used for illegal activities in the deep web.

This is a duh question, but it leads to a better one; what isn't being used as a form of illegal value store/transfer? Of course fiat and btc are being used to launder/move value for illegal transactions. I'm pretty sure there are even some using gold and silver. But did you remember washing detergent?

I don't believed in "most used". It was just an option but it's not commonly used.

Still fiat and other physical is commonly used because it's to access compare to bitcoin when dealing in physical transactions.

People already do that with traditional money, and if we used the space money they used in south park, then we would probably be doing that as well. When I say "we" then I mean mankind as whole/species. As long as there is a means to achieve desired goals, that means will be exploited and milked to the max. If in 100 years the entire planet is using TimeUnits, then again another person in the timeunittalk forum will ask "Is TimeUnit being used for illegal activities". Hopefully by that time the mindset of our species is a bit more educated overall so the answer can be a simple "no". Grin
