We cant totally say that it is being used by criminals because we dont know what people are really doing. There are chances that it is used by criminals but not a hundred percent, there are underground markets which uses bitcoins as the mode of their payment for different illegal things. Everyone is free to use bitcoin and so are criminals.

I think that Bitcoin has double-faced nature. It makes people's payment methods more convenient, and it also causes some criminals to commit another crime. But I think Bitcoin still outweighs disadvantages. Many countries have gradually recognized bitcoin. This proves the significance of its existence and is beneficial to people.

It is possible, everyone can have access to bitcoin and criminals are not exception to that. But I am not saying that bitcoin is no longer safe for anyone because of the criminals, but we must be extra careful with every stuffs we made here. Have a high security with the important details you have, prevention is always better than cure.

Although Bitcoin was the most watched virtual currency in the technology industry in 2017, some of the earliest and most loyal fans have quietly left it. In the past Bitcoin was the most widely accepted currency for criminal groups and people engaged in illegal activities. Now they are turning to other virtual currencies.

there are all catagories and challenges in life so we have to deal wisely between good and ugly things and if many bad things we corrected to be a better, more positive like that life or in the business world or cryptocurrency so bad or negative we avoid for a more comfortable life and the law will govern all.

I think they use bitcoin as criminals. I do not think that bitcoin is an obstacle because criminals can not use it. they have the right to use them.

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 there is a possibilities that bitcoin will used by the criminals because we all know that bitcoin is very open to every people and we didn't know each other because all bitcoin users is very anonymous.So that the criminals free to do what they are thinking to have their own money in easy ways.So we have to be careful in our own account and be careful in managing our bitcoin.

Every person are allowed to use bitcoin, even the criminals. Bitcoins has no limitations on whom person were allowed. Even a common people who has the money to invest on it.

I believe that bitcoin is used by criminals. They have the guts to use it because they think that the transaction happens is anonymous.

We actually dont know and who knows? Bitcoin online trasactions as of now is untracesable except i think in canada they said iits tracesable already but im not so sure yet. They said the tax of bitcoin in canada is 40% . Anyhow lets get back to the main question, basically internet has a lot positive feedbacks comapred to negative one just like bitcoin, lets say if this was used to do any crime act,i think there are more positive way bitcoin had offer to each everyone. The opportunities that has given people on which we earn in so man ways by workingon on it. There are always a positive and negative outcome in everything we do. Crimes are just always their because we cant control peoples attitude or what they think and do. I think thats the reason why every country Governments are very vigilant and skeptical with any crytocurrencies around the world. Lest just hope for the best and think positive.


I agree with this comment,we cannot control what kind of people and attitude using Bitcoin but in any case this currency invented for good purpose not for bad purpose,so many unemployment person given a good opportunity because of Bitcoin and they change there financial stability,the negative side of Bitcoin is we cannot only control whether if it will use for crime.

We arw aware how bitcoin is used anonymously which simply means nobody knows what you have been doing.  Therefore there is really is a possibility that they are used by most criminals. But still it is still dependent on the person if they will choose to use it for crimes.

This is mainly because many people think Bitcoin is anonymous, when in fact it’s the opposite - all Bitcoin transactions are transparent for the whole world to see. People might not be able to link the identity to Bitcoin right away.

it can utilize any methods for their culpability. Not simply bitcoin and different cryptos. The besy thing in bitcoin is even ideal for them. The untraceable exchanges and the secrecy of people included influences them to need to be into this sort of world. I see a great deal of trickster in facebook utilizing the name of bitcoin where truth be told, bitcoin isn't trick in any way.

Maybe yes, bitcoin is used by criminals because as you can see, the bitcoin has lots of benefits to all of us and one of it is that bitcoin can really be used for transactions and for sure that they are using it because it is really hard to locate and monitor every transaction that they made using digital coins. They also know that out of bitcoin, they can have a huge amount of money when they hold it. Criminals are smart, anyways.

Crime uses everything, bitcoin is just some part.
Yes the point is criminals are using every hole in this system to earn their own profits and actually they're taking advance on Bitcoin as the first day it showed up.
Being too good is a sin , that's totally not fair with Bitcoin at all. We can't stop criminals to use them , the only thing we can do track their criminals and busting all of them.

Even the everyday fiat is used more by criminals. Ever heard about stages of money laundering: Placing, layering and integration...these are well known to be based on fiat. So i think so far it is controlled by humans, anything can be used by criminals.

Stop blaming Bitcoin always that's rude. Bitcoin is just another form of currency just like the cold or the physical cash the point is due to the characteristic Bitcoin possess some criminals I using it for their benefit but that doesn't mean Bitcoin is made for caiman as they are also using credit cards and other stuff which are getting hacked daily. With Bitcoin, they have to simply trade coins rather than hacking it.


Btc use is like money and we know money is the root of evil. But actually it is in the hands of the person how he/she use the resources they have. The responsibility bares in the hand of the bearer not in btc. It is just black propagandas washing away the good of btc to eliminate it in the cryptocurrency world.
