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.
Yes, there are a lot of criminals and hackers on the Internet who use bitcoin as a way of trading. But only a small percentage of criminals use bitcoin as a means of exchange, most of which use legal tender, and whether fiat money should be banned.

Indeed, criminals use bitcoin as their illegal trades and of course they taking the advantage of the psuedo anonymous of bitcoin which make them difficult for the police to track.
But with the rise developments of cryptocurrency technology, I think they are now using a more anonymous coins like monero or even zcash.

I did not yet tried it. But yes ofcourse bitcoin is being used by criminals all over the world but, it is not in a public instead it is in an anonymous transaction were in Tor using a private internet connection in accessing onion deepweb were illegal activities freely done. There are a lot of illegal activities in black market were in deepweb such as selling drugs, guns, to rent a hacker and paying for a pornography video's and other more. Bitcoin is more oftenly used in that sites. But it can also used in a good way such as charity and helping our family and making a good living through bitcoin. There are more people who used bitcoin in a good way rather than illegal activities.
For me no because you cannot use bitcoin as easy as you think. You really need enough gadgets just to use bitcoin.
So it will be a big hassle for the criminals to use bitcoin. Maybe they are still go for the traditional money if they are asking for ransom.

Bitcoin Used to be used for criminal activities ... now days anyone with any brains will use a more private coin
that is certainly and that is the reason for the banning BTC in some countries. but now we cant do anything to prevent because that is the anynomus feature of BTC. I hope that in the future, the devs can find the way to solve this problem
We dont know , but theres a possiblity that bitcoin is use to perform illegal activities. And because of this illegal activities a senator in my country files a bill penalizing the use of cryptocurrency.
The bitcoin is only one of possible ways of receiving money by swindlers. It is not necessary to do from this "trouble" since there is nothing ideally protected from fraud.

Well, you have your point mate, and I would say that there may be a good possibility for this to happen. I say that because one of the features of cryptocurrency is to transact with privacy and borderline secrecy because it doesn't have any paper trail and records that would show the birth to the conclusion of the transaction. I am sure that that factor would be highly sought after by dark entities because it would save them the effort hiding their dirty business.
Is this a rhetorical question? Do you know of anything of value (including all currencies) that is not used by criminals? They, especially, use anything that has value and is easily transported, to deal with. It's common sense that it is.
Of course it is, like every other currency. There is no way to stop criminals from using any currency they want.
I've read an article in which hitmans, trackers, and hackers are payed with Bitcoins, and is also used for illegal transactions especially underneath the surface web. But do keep in mind that this also happens in all types of currencies.
Yes, we have to admit that criminals use bitcoin. But the percentage of these transactions, according to news sources, is minimal. About 5 per cent. I think it's too small a number to take seriously.
Everyone is free to use bitcoin, with anonymous features so I'm sure that many transactions are used for criminal activities such as the cost of terrorism, drugs, money laundering and so on, but I do not think this is a reason for all countries banned bitcoin.
The real criminals are the one's printing fiat, collecting taxes and sellings weapons around the world.
Well spoken. I love your idea of criminals. I believe the same. Everybody or everyone is a potential criminal if we break the rules set by the higher ups and the very few elite then we became criminals. And them they are the one setting the rule of the game and now bitcoin change that everyone has given a chance to play a fair play. I say there is equality in bitcoin.
No i think this is not true fully but there is a chance to do it.Bitcoin have control by online.There is not any strong roulse about bitcoin.A criminal use it in a crime without any kinds of identity and location hidden.This is the cause a criminal can use bitcoin... 
You know, it seems to me that bitcoin is used by criminals much less often than dollars. This is just an attempt to create a negative image of bitcoin.

Yes, many criminals because of the currency dispersion and anonymity choose to use COINS as a crime, but I think it's just part of the very few, most criminals are still use fiat money, so we cannot for this reason the currency is prohibited
Yes we have to face this bitter truth that bitcoin is being used by criminals for buying illegal things like guns and weapons or to pay someone for doing something.Criminals love using bitcoins because of its anonymousity.It keeps their identity and location hidden,so they have no fear of being caught by someone.But yeah as the OP says there too many good things about bitcoins too.So one can't just oppose bitcoins because it is being used by criminals.We should just accept the fact and move on that everything in this world has a good as well as a bad side.

One of Bitcoin's best feature is anonymity. Sadly, this is being used also in illegal activities. But, you don't really need Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to transact your illegal deeds.
Even without Bitcoin, illegal activities will still be there and there's ton of ways where you can transact something for your illegal activities.
This is reason, that Bitcoin is bad because it is being used by shady people is just being used by those who are against Bitcoin.
