Yeah it sure is being used for illegal activities. That is because you can make use of anonymously so no one can come behind your personal information.
This is a good thing but you know people are going to use it for bad things when they see you can not be tracked. 

So you are saying the media is right in what they are telling in the news?

The media is not always right when they are telling the news they just want to raise the awareness of people who dont use the bitcoin.
Dont always listen to media as they are just using the issue for their own benefit.

Yes, media is not always right. Bitcoin purpose is not that it is used only for illegal activities.

Actually being a human is illegal. We can always do illegal things in our life with using what we have. That can be bitcoin or only can be one word too.

Being human is the natural happening or creation. If someone gives birth through prostitution it may be considered as illegal activity.
Lol I think human beings are born is not an illegal. bitcoin born to freedom. bitcoin you could have as much as you have and you are free to use bitcoin for anything, including illegal? is it any effect on bitcoin?

Wouldn't be accurate. The media is pretty much just looking for stories and doesn't know anything about BITCOIN, in fact the only time they even mention it is when a big scam occurs or when they allegedly found Satoshi.

In the traditional system like Banks, the problems like hacks are swept under the rug.

Common person will never learn that his funds were hacked, because Bank simply prints more money and pretends nothing happened.

For this reason police never solves these crimes, because nobody ever reports them. The people are deceived that nothing had happened.

This makes the police and other actors to think that standard organisations like Banks are very secure because hacks "never happen".

Of course both law enforcement and people are deceived in this way for decades now.

Bitcoin is favored by criminals because it's harder to trace back to the perpetrators when they decide to cash back into the physical world if they have used obfuscation services like a coin mixer. It's not impossible to trace but it's definitely harder than asking for a ransom in marked bills in a briefcase for example. Also the crooks can be anywhere in the world and still can commit extortion without leaving their house.

Bitcoin is perfect for use in ransoms and I'm sure it will be used/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.

Everything can be used for illegal transactions. Probably USD in the form of cash is still the most used tool for illegal activities. I guess EUR is the second.

I am talking about it here for a long time. I really like that smbd thining like me Grin
Criminals don't care what to use bitcoin or dollars only profit make sens.
well im pretty sure they do care as bitcoin is pretty much untraceable and no one can find out who bought something illegal

besides that in my opinion bitcoin is used for doing illegal stuff really often though i guess that pushes the price a little bit
At least with the bitcoin we can trace where the money origins and where it goes. But with the gold or fiats you never can come to trace any single footage of it. I do not find any new support from bitcoin to the criminals.

most of the people has the opinion that bitcoin is the one meant for criminals.. this is because of its anonymity and untraceability.. bitcoin has strict terms and conditions policy that prohibits using its service for illegal activities...

Bitcoin since it appears and after the silk road business were just conected to ilegal activities ,but fiat has being used for the same thing.

People said about gold as well being used for illegal activities like drug smuggling and so on but since gold is a legal commodity, such articles are ignored while bitcoins only suffer as they are not regulated by the Government.
Till the Government doesn't find a solution to this, we shouldn't lose hope and continue promoting bitcoins on our blogs or on other forums.
thats true, all currencies have had and will always have troubles when it comes to illegal activities

i hope that people will not think that its only used for that and that they will use it more often


Majority of the people dont think that the people who thinks that are just haters of bitcoin but sooner or later they will also use bitcoin.

of course bitcoin itself is not an illegal thing, if you use it to buy illegal stuff then is it an illegal use of it

in my opinion even though there are crimes done with bitcoin, fiat is way more worse than bitcoin
