I once read an article that says bitcoin is used as a payment transaction for terrorists and hackers. And maybe you guys in this forum also already know it. But here i want to convey my personal opinion in that matter. I think that internet and bitcoin interrelated. Many terrorists and criminals use internet .so also with bitcoin which used perpetrator However, despite all these issues, do people make concrete efforts to ban the internet? No. Not because removing and banning Bitcoin is difficult, but because the internet offers more positive than negative. For the same reason, we have to be more careful about our mindset for Bitcoin, because much evidence has shown that Bitcoin brings many positive, if not more, effects than the internet. Internet and Bitcoin are just devices that 'bad guys' and 'good people'. Fortunately, the world is filled with more people in the 'good people' category.
bitcoin is accessible to anyone and anywhere it does not close the possibility that it can happen the use as a crime, back again to people or groups who invest with bitcoin goals and what desire they invest with bitcoin

I hope it never happened but in fact the media preach it. Sad to hear it. Something that offers more positive benefits is actually used by irresponsible people doing negative things. It can not be avoided that anonymous transactions are the main attraction for criminals to do the action. The advantages that at the same time be a bitcoin weakness if I say.

yes, any forms of currency 'digital or fiat' can be used by criminals  but bitcoin is the safest way because they cant easily track transactions.

Yes, many criminals use bitcoin as a way of trading. I don't think it can blame bitcoin. If there is no bitcoin, there may be other COINS that will replace bitcoin as a way of dealing with criminals. Many countries ban bitcoin for this reason, which I think is unwise.
We all know that how bitcoin works it is not like a fiat currency, bitcoin just require internet and mobile to access it so anybody can use bitcoin at any place, so no wonder if bitcoin used for illegal activities and by the criminals.

Bitcoin transactions are traceable and are much easier to track than expected, and every transaction can be traced back to the past.

All the expenses of the terrorists, the rent, the food, the weapons, etc. must be paid in legal currency, and the payment of bitcoin into legal currency will leave a clear written record.

As a result, terrorists will not use bitcoin as they do now.

Large BTC transactions will certainly attract the attention of many people!

Although criminals can hide their identities with BTC, they can still be found through the data transmission of blockchain.

Because every transaction of BTC has a block chain, it cannot be modified!

Before the bitcoin will created. The blockchain will not created. The transactions will not be detected. The bitcoin use by a bad people in the deep web use as a payment in the different item like a drug and smuggle fire arms.

I know we are still at the beginning of cryptocurrency, but bitcoin grows at lightning speed now and some banks have seen it as a potential threat.
There are many allegations from banks, that bitcoin is perfect for money laundering and is used to support crime. and They can ignore it or arrange for various provocations to discredit it. People who have the mindset that bitcoin is being used by criminals and should be banned very defects. Cooking knives are also used by criminals, or specifically murderers to kill, but does that mean a knife should be banned? No. Because a knife is not made for that purpose. Same with bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

This is just a stereotype by which skeptics are trying to worsen the image of bitcoin. In fact, the number of criminal transactions with bitcoin is negligible.

Criminals use currencies that only exist in this world. And bitcoin, unfortunately, is no exception. But according to the latest analysis, bitcoin is used much less than all other currencies.

I havent heard it but it may be used by criminals. Since it's not a trackable business, it is easy to abuse the platform. You shouldnt think that its not our concern if we feel safe and use this for a better world.

we do not know if bitcoin is used by criminals because anyone can join in bitcoin.
therefore we must be careful in entering the address of the wallet do not let the private key in the input .. because someone can intend evil when there is a chance

Of course bitcoin is using by criminals! It's perfect currency to make transactions in darknet because it's can be tracked very hard. I think that criminals isn't biggest problem of bitcoin anyway.
