Yeah the Bitcoin is somewhat being used by some illegal activities that is just the truth and there is nothing that we can do about it.
I suggest that you do not focus on that but focus on what you are here for and not other people.

Agreed not everyone focus on the negative part. Now most users are into bitcoin considering it as investment as well sources of earning. Only little people are still use it on illegal activities.

Exactly as bitcoin is money so it's just normal if it's used for illegal activities. Physical golds and things too can be used as long as it was worth.

Also if a person has the reason why they doesn't use bitcoin just because of illegal activities then they need more proper learning and study.

Off course if bitcoin used for illegal activities that is not strange. Because you can see it as black money how could someone go after your money if it is just bitcoin.

Yeah sure Bitcoin is perfect for use in ransoms and I'm sure it will be used and requested as ransom more often in the future but I think cash is still very good for criminals for most other things. Two drug dealers meet in secret and exchange cash for product and there's no way to know the deal ever happened without some other intel. In fact certain govs are thinking about getting rid of high denomination notes because they're frequently used by criminals to transport funds.

Although the terrorists and do not use Bitcoins to finance its activities and devious business Bitcoin prefer all sorts of offshore companies, it would be unfair to say that Bitcoin has nothing to do with the crime. There are numerous cases when cryptocurrency provided in the center of criminal schemes.

The first comes to mind when you reflect on the Bitcoin-crime is extortion, blackmail and ransom demands, or theft of important information, and again ransom.

Bitcoin-crime develops according to the same laws as the ordinary. However, unlike cash, which, incidentally, is regulated remarkably in this case - is very little evidence that the Bitcoin is used for money laundering or terrorist financing. However, not a single official has not yet been accused Bitcoin is that it is the money to extortionists and dishonest politicians.

At the moment the US dollar is the main criminal currency, so that says enough right.
Bitcoin has the main aspects in a currency which is perfect for criminals, anonymous, fast and low cost, yet the dollar is used more by criminals. Which means these advantages bitcoin has are not attracting more or less criminals then any other currency.

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?

Yes, with exception that governmetns and banks control fiat. And they wont do anything to ban fiat. Why would they? they can print it at will and do whatever they want with it.

They dont control bitcoin, they cant print bitcoin, and they can cheat with bitcoin. This is a reason you see lots of negative press about bitcoin. Banks and gavernments dont want ppl to use it. Thus, the easiest way is just to scare ppl that bitcoin is only used by criminals or it is a scam.
Off course is bitcoin being used for illegal activities because no one can trace a bitcoin and you dont know if it is bought with black money so yes it is used.

There are many criminals that is using Bitcoin as their payment method and they are using it because it is quite easy to use and that is really nice.
And it is hard to know what will happen in the future so that is really bad.

Bitcoin- in bullish time
Yeap. I heard in the news that criminals are using btc to send money across the globe and no one asks them from where did these money camed from. Also they pay low fees to send them :p
Yeah they are taking advantage of being anonymous of bitcoin so they use it to transact from selling drugs, firearms or other stuff. I think it's natural because many currency is also been used either for legal and illegal activities we can't disagree with that.

This is indeed the case, but not all of them do this. This is just the negative impact of the bitcoin, yet so far from the negative impact of the positive impact we can get when using bitcoin in the right way. I'm sure every digital currencies have similar things with bitcoin.

I also I heard in the news that criminals are using US dollar and Euro to send money across the globe and no one asks them from where did these money camed from. Also they pay high fees to send them :p

LOL... Since bitcoin is a currency as good as cash its the same as fiat money. Bitcoin can be used in gambling and other illegal activities too the same with our dollar Smiley The difference with the dollar is that of higher charge when you send dollar while sending Bitcoin is cheaper very easy to handle.
