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.
I think it is one of the disadvantage of the bitcoin, few people are using bitcoin in bad way. I believe there are many terrorist and criminals who are using bitcoin. The image of the bitcoin becoming worse because of the people who are using in a bad way.

There is no harm in bitcoin in use by criminals. Because bitcoin e-money that can be used by everyone. Including criminals. I think bitcoin is mostly used by criminals to buy weapon supplies or can be used by terrorists.

Part of Bitcoins success will always be attributed to markets like Silk Road. It's a negative point in Bitcoins history that it will always find hard to shake.

     Yes they can use bitcoin for their transaction anytime because we did not know them,terrorists are always bad at all the time,they always find ways just to pursue their mission.
      If they will use btc to purchase firearm or ammunition, then it is very possible.

Indeed a few people are utilizing Btc as front for an investment plot that is the reason our government cautions the general population from these con artists. Despite the fact that its not by any stretch of the imagination a wrongdoing like medications and killings however for me its extremely disturbing on the grounds that numerous individuals turned into a casualty and lost their cash. These criminals are putting a terrible name to Btc motivation behind why a few people are distrustful about it.

Yes it is used, but it does not mean that it is something terrible, or other forms of payment are also used. But in case of bitcoin the anonymity helps, but on the other hand it is main reason of its popularity and value.

It is highly likely the case, that some people involved with crimes concerning FIATs, also see the potential of the BTC being used in crimes. A perfect example is in the UK were a hacker infiltrated the central network for the Health Department, and due to this infiltration, the system could not be used for several hours to a day, and the hacker was asking for 300BTC.

Then I guess that hacker is not really that smart. Bitcoin is not really anonymous and yes, Criminals are using bitcoin the reason they are now in their own prison cells. Don't you wonder why the Silk Road of the deep web was caught even if they are using Bitcoin as a payment? Bitcoin is not really anonymous, it can still be tracked.

It's hard to say no, we all know that anonymous features are the most profitable thing for anyone to use bitcoin, so they only take 3 minutes to create and use bitcoins without the need for identity.

When you really think about it, it is not impossible that criminals and terrorists are using it. Because transactions are anonymous, their identities are protected when they made transactions. However, as you have said, there are more advantages of using bitcoin by those people who are using it for legal business than its drawbacks. As for those like us who are using it for our lives to be better,I think we have greater number that those ho use it for illegal purposes.

bitcoin is as a means of payment and of the internet as a medium, through the internet all can be connected though different continents
I think everything is use by criminals, not just bitcoin.
because of the high bitcoin exchange rate, criminals will prefer the bitcoin for large transactions.

A few of the criminals may be using Bitcoin. But what difference that is going to make? The vast majority of the criminals deal with fiat currency, and I haven't seen anyone blaming the fiat for that.

obviously Bitcoin is utilized by hoodlums, even fear based oppressors, in light of the fact that Bitcoin is mysterious. A few nations like France, South Korea and my Nation,, now stress to bitcoin, in light of the fact that bitcoin is utilized by assess dodgers and fear based oppressor. South Korea now restrains the bitcoin exchanges in their local as it were. Their natives can't exchange bitcoin to different nations. France will control strict principles about bitcoin. also, Indonesia even deny bitcoin to be utilized as arrangement trade.

When Bitcoin is just starting it is widely used in illegal activities especially in deep web but Bitcoin is just another currency (digital) that can be used by anyone, but even fiat currency is also used by criminals, drug lords, terrorist or used in any different kinds of illegal things. But the thing is Bitcoin is more on the positive side right now because it is possible to trace Bitcoin and possibly get caught if you use it on inappropriate way, and there are already altcoins that can give fully anonymity to its users when transacting, like Monero and Verge and I think criminals are now switching to those altcoins.
Bitcoin used Criminals. Bitcoin is Virtual currency.Criminals currency interacts with bitcoin.

I hate to say that this is indeed a bad possibility that anonymity is acting out of a blockchain system
now it is needed programmers who can track terrorist activities
we prove that bitcoin will be a payment gateway with verified owners
