Topic: Is bitcoin used by criminals ? - page 2. (Read 5047 times)
Money is used by criminals. that's like finding out businessmen use money. so yes of course crypto currencies will be used for crime. there will of course be plenty of articles about how evil people are using some scary new technology. it's a topic that draws readers and that is often sadly all a journalist cares for anymore rather than informing their readers. so whenever this comes up: "criminals use Bitcojn!" just remember that: of course criminals use money.
The preferred currencies in Deepweb right now are Monero and Ethereum. Bitcoin is hardly favored by anyone there, since its anonymity is not 100% guaranteed. So the argument that government want to ban Bitcoin due to its association with Deepweb doesn't make any sense.
I am a little bit tired of hearing stuff like this. Bitcoin is implicated to terror activities, to illegal activities, to the deep web where everything appears to be illegal thus underground, and so on. There is no point really to generalize anything at this point as a some kind of tool for terrorists.For those who are easily affected will definitely consider bitcoin very bad.
All people could use btc, criminal too
Yes the US government uses bitcoin!
Criminals can use bitcoin because of today's many high tech things. and nowadays so many badly people so it's impossible to do that way to get rob. they can use bitcoin in criminality for example they can steal the bitcoin money.
There is often public misconception that Bitcoin is mostly used by criminals. A notice to people using Bitcoin for illicit purposes: you can run, but it’s getting a lot harder to hide. Law enforcement officials are using Bitcoin’s public ledger, called the blockchain, to follow the digital money and track down suspected criminals using it.
I doubt that now bitcoin is used for these purposes, because after all, the history of transactions can be raised and if you try, then restore the chain of actions.
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.
Yep, this is a possibility due to bitcoin it's for everybody
Well due to the anonymous nature of trading Cryptocurrencies, it is clear most individuals with bad intentions would fancy using it for some bad transactions.
Criminals increasingly use bitcoin for illegal transactions, preferring crypto-currencies, whose transactions are more difficult to track.
Annually, up to 200 billion dollars of illegal profits are laundered, and although virtual currencies are the main tool for money laundering, criminals switch to lesser known coins, such as Monero.

Everything is used by criminals, not just Bitcoin. For sure, the great majority of the criminals are using fiat. The more dangerous ones are definitely using fiat. They are the ones who are wearing suits and are occupying high positions in the governments of different countries and in the top executive positions of various international companies. In the low level, even scissors and frying pans and pins are used by criminals as well.
it is not a secret for anyone that btc is used for traffic, fraud, crime and even terrorism, long before the btc became the famous btc that is right now, and people used it for all bad things. but it has also been used for many good things, and today it is already integrated into the popular system of the economy. for us it is the economy of the future.
The popularity of bitcoin in the criminal world began to decline in favor of other crypto-currencies, officials in the security company based on Bromium virtualization said in a recent briefing on the use of crypto currency.
One of the reasons that criminals avoid bitcoins is due to the transparency of the block chain and the growing number of tools for discovering how the funds are transmitted through bitcoin wallets.

As bitcoin is a decentralize platform and the user can be annoymous this indeed increase the usage of criminals and bad people. However how will you define bad a person with good intentions for example he might be trying to hack someone else bitcoin to help someone in need or someone hack bitcoin for his own greed.
But my question is, does the criminal use fiat money ? Fiat money is centralized and regulated by the governments and banks, but is there no criminal activity when there was no decentralized money?
Always yes! Payments without control prognoses criminal thinks. That’s why “big dad yes” used crypto trusactions to cann’t Be catched !
Yes of course. the criminals find it very easy to Occur their criminal activities through Bitcoin. because Bitcoin can be used hiding self identity and this seems a great opportunity to the criminals .so they can occur their criminal activities very easily .specially the hackers love Bitcoin for hacking. There are so many stories here in this forum that accounts has been hacked.
Yeah it's true.bitcoin is used by criminals but it is not fault of bitcoin. Bad people use bitcoin for their transactions. Why people blame bitcoin. thats not fair.
