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.

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.

This is probably the main reason why most of the countries doesn't approve and agree with the use of Bitcoin. It can be used for illegal payment transactions and the government should take into consideration about the risk of using bitcoin.

As if the US Dollar and other currencies are not used in illegal transactions. Governments and banksters hate Bitcoin, because it removes their power to control and issue money. Unlike fiat currency, Bitcoin is not a debt instrument that they can use to enslave people and to finance wars.

Naturally, in the underworld, bitcoin is used because of its anonymity, but it does not make bitcoin a bad currency, and the speech that it is used ONLY in crime is spread by the government in order to have an excuse  their attempts to adjust this currency

The real  criminals are the one's printing fiat, collecting taxes and sellings weapons around the world.
However, regardless of whether you believe cryptocurrency is all about facilitating crime vs. crime being but a small, unfortunate side effect of the rise of crypto coinage, there’s no arguing with the fact that global law enforcement recognizes that cryptocurrency is the criminal’s playground.

The link between terrorism and bitcoin is not surprising; indeed, they are older than the blockchain itself.

When governments confuse bitcoin with terrorism, it is as if they confuse the right to encrypt Internet privacy with anything else they can't control. Politicians can shout and shout about what they like, but the public will eventually understand.

For me maybe theres a possibility because some criminals used this as an sustainer of their money to steal some coins.And also why scammers have also on this system yeah they were seeking for money to provide their needs.

BTC is one of the many ways of dealing with criminals. By using BTC as a means of payment, you can avoid the supervision of many government departments.


I don't think so. Bitcoin may be known as a anonymous digital currency but bitcoin is not really anonymous since there is a lot of articles and threads that states this. In fact there are a lot of criminals that is been caught using bitcoin into criminal activities.

People can avoid the eyes of the government, but don't say that you will be avoiding the eyes of the government if you do something that will make them track your bitcoin transactions.

Maybe they can be considered as one of the criminals but there are people who commits more violence act  which most of the people reffering to.Bitcoin has a nature that good for doing illegal activities and easy to use by those people.It is not a surprise though

I don't have any news or hear some humor that bitcoin is already use by criminals we can not say they are Criminals if we don't have any evidence at all

How come have you never heard about Silk Road - the biggest darknet platform? After its founder (Ross Ulbricht) was arrested in 2013 FBI seized about 26k BTC from accounts on Silk Road and 144k BTC from Ross Ulbricht's personal account! The truth is BTC is no longer truly anonymous cryptocurrency.

Any form of currency has illegal users,  I guess the anonymity of bitcoin  makes it favorite among criminals to make any illegal activities. Bitcoins lack regulation and there is no way to retrieve bitcoins that has been stolen,  so it is easy to stole it and run away.

We cannot say that all bitcoin are being transacted by criminals, maybe it is because of some hear-say opinions that we hear from somebody. Yes, there are chances that bitcoin can be used by criminals because there are deeper parts of the internet that certain people can access. Like what we are seeing in movies where there are people transacting or hiring a killer using bitcoin and also buying different illegal drugs and weapons, it can happen in real life to, we dont know, the internet is too broad and no one knows what lies beyond.

While Bitcoin might actually turn out to be one of the safest and least ‘bad’ ways to use money, it doesn’t mean that criminals don’t use it. Just like normal money, they do. But there are two important things to note - firstly, that as more data becomes available in the industry, the more it is becoming clear the number of bad uses is very, very minute - if the entire Bitcoin ecosystem is represented by a big mountain, the size of the bad parts is a couple of rocks. Second, that in any financial system, this is a risk that can never be eliminated, merely mitigated, and Bitcoin has some of the best tools in the world for that.

I think that's just the opinion of some people. Not everything in bitcoin is a criminal, only a small part I think. Indeed bitcoin is difficult to track because it is anonymous. So surely there are some criminals who use this as a place they cheat or other.

Thats one of the weakness of bitcoin but its not big deal which can lead bitcoin down in price.
Its normal if something popular like bitcoin can be used for everything include criminal.
Dont only think that its used for criminal but also think its used for donation.

Not only bitcoin, but also other currency, because we do not know what kind of people who uses bitcoin, even the good or bad people,but bitcoin did not intended to use it in criminal act. No matter what but the bitcoin is more useful in a good ways.

Bitcoin is used by criminals, this is nothing new. They always look for new ways how to make money illegaly, how to launder money and how to escape low in any way. Bitcoin is still harder to trace than fiat transactions so it's convenient for criminals. But you don't have to look further from darknet markets, this is example how bitcoin is used for illegal purposes.

Bitcoin has also a dark side. Because it is a digital money it is prone to hacker. It is also used by criminals because of its anonymity, they can transact illegal things untraceable.

it is very sad indeed to see if the technology created to reduce criminal and transparent acts so in use and abused by criminals
Bitcoin has been widely used by criminals although the news that covered about it has not been widely spread.
