Yes Bitcoins has been used in the dark market before as a form of payment. but that shouldn't be any form of concern as BTC is open for everyone to use and cannot be limited to anyone,

but what about dollars and other fiat money? aren't they used by criminals? everyone saw the cases of dirty dollars as a payment for drugs and weapons in different films. so bitcoin is just another tool and there is no need to make it guilty in all sins.

Believe me, this information has nothing to do with reality. Criminals can use absolutely any currency. This is just another way to create a negative image of bitcoin.

Yeap of course crimanals can use BTC like other people. But also criminals can use USD or other moneys like other people. In this case US goverment will never stop supply cash.

Yes it is unfortunately bitcoin has been always connected to the criminals. It is a perfect get away or a perfect currency for them ,Remember the Silk Road I think that's what started this whole thing bitcoin has been known because of it. Bitcoin is also a perfect way for money laundering
At the core of Bitcoin including the silk road, sometimes I miss those days. Bitcoin really has a very active past. In everyday life there will always be crime and criminals, and Bitcoin should respond to the need to remain strong.

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, I totally agree with you, although bitcoin is used for crime transactions, bitcoin is just a tool, it should not be a bad image of bitcoin. it should not be the reason to make bitcoin banned.
Criminal are choose every way for crime so i think bitcoin transaction is the one of way for them and maybe they use it for crime so its not good that bitcoin use for negative activity because its made for those people who want to earn some extra money for easy life.

"Bad guys" are also paid in dollars and other currencies, realistically everything the so called "Good guys" use can be misused.

Anyone can use bitcoin and it is not impossible that it is also used by criminals in doing crimes. Because it is easy to use for transactions, it is also easy to use in doing illegal activities. Criminals also feel secured and safe in doing crimes because of bitcoin pseudo-anonymity that keeps the real identity of the user which means that it would be hard for someone in the government to track and trace their transactions in doing these illegal activities.

This is true for every single form of exchange that exist . Fiat is used by criminals and i don't see anyone trying to stop the use or circulation of fiat. Solution will never be found in trying to destroy bitcoins for this reason as this will simply result in those individuals moving to another form or way of doing there transactions , what is needed are more social intervention back by stronger laws.This is not an issued that's centered around bitcoins , they are just using this to deflect from the real reasons around this issue.

Yes, Bitcoin is used by criminals.The reason behind this is the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. As Bitcoin is decentralized in nature so no government or bank is not  able to track the transactions made through Bitcoin. This makes the transactions anonymous which helps the people involved in the transactions to remain unidentified. So without any fear some people uses Bitcoin as a mode of payment for drug dealings,ammunition dealings,for ransoms etc.But this is just a small drawback of Bitcoin. Surely there are more number of good users who are using features of Bitcoin in a positive way.

I don’t use my bitcoin to do something illegal, but I read some articles that are saying criminals use bitcoin. We have our own perspective to do the things that we want, and in bitcoin, you can do what you want, you had the freedom to do the things that you want and some people choice to do something terrible and prohibited that’s why they treated criminals.

Long before that I heard bitcoin is use in illegal transaction. If you will remember the silk road the online black market, most of the transaction there were paid thru bitcoin to ensure the anonymity of the buyer. But nowadays there are more people as I observe, that use bitcoin in good deeds. Most of the bitcoin holder including me hoard bitcoin with the hope that it's price will raise someday. There are bitcoin holders stories that pay bitcoin for a food or other necessity, but they regret those days and wished they have used fiat.

The mass production of illegal drugs is widely recognized as devastating plague to all peoples of all cultures. A study administered by the United Nations found that in 2005, the global drug market generated approximately $321.6 billion United States dollars., representing almost 1% of  worldwide commerce. Now, as my erudite colleague so lucidly described,  BitCoins easily lends itself to money laundering and the general obfuscation of transactions

In my knowledge the bitcoin is using by the educated people and they are using this for good purpose all the crypto users are high educated and the youngsters like the college students and professional investors and traders are the bitcoin community but due to some hackers people are thinking that whether this will be use by criminals i think the bitcoin is not using by criminal but the youngsters are using this currency for the online materials which are not ethical and not allowed to use for free.

certainly, Bitcoin can be used by anyone in the worth who has the Internet. So, we do not have any way to prevent the criminals. Some methods are used in some countries to control it such as South Korea where the government bans the anonymous accounts in the exchanges.
