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.

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.

the most important thing for us all for the bitcoiners around the world especially in Indonesia.
while we include bitcoin fans and people who can not leave bitcoin let's use the bitcoin digital world for something that has a positive impact for us and the State and others .jagan until we give a bad or negative impression to good mama bitcoin digital world to us country and world .

Yes it's true that bitcoin can be used for bad guys and it all depends on each person's purpose, I think behind that place there will always be evil in the real world as well as cyberspace, as well as bitcoin, because everyone from various circles can recognize and use bitcoin so that evil opportunities are always there

saying "Is bitcoin used by criminals ?" is like saying is money used by criminals....
criminals can use whatever means of legal tender available to them.

bitcoin is a digital currency.... however you get it or make transaction with it is left to you.

but of course every tom dick and Jack are involved in the bitcoin business, with different endeavors of Trade.

its a crypto world and we are here to be  industrious ... let the Law/government catch up with criminals and live bitcoin business to grow.

Fiat or Crypto, USD or Bitcoin, whatever thieves are using, doesn't make any difference to the coin itself. I think the real thieves and bad persons, at least 99% of them are still using USD to make bad things. So it's unnecessary to throw dirt at Bitcoin and Crypto.

Obviously but is every fiat currency in the world also being used by criminals? Answer to both is yes so it really doesn't matter what money or currency is criminals will use it. In fact they often times use cutting edge technologies quicker because they have so much risk already in their business. Criminals using currency isn't limited to Bitcoin, they will use everything there in between from getting detected.

Precisely, but Depends on human nature or people who use bitcoin in negative terms. Any currencies here in this world we have, either cryptocurrencies or even the real currency that we have are using in criminal activities. Some government are addressing crypto currencies as a currency used by criminals and its black propaganda against bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

You're right, well each and everyone of us have our own decisions either in doing good or bad things around here in our society. Criminals will do their very best to have a victim as its part of their life styles. Hopefully each and everyone of us here must observant since many people around here doing such bad things.

Why not bitcoin is use by criminals and since bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency criminals see it as the perfect means for they illegal transactions since it can go unnoticed and can't be trace. Bitcoin as a great financial tool can be use for negative or positive purposes since it is secured and without control from the government.

well Bitcoins have been used before in the dark web to pay for unlawful activities. Its also said that it has been used for money laundering. if these two activities are criminal enough then it surely has been used by criminals.

Every currency can be used by criminals, it was just the media and the government spreading FUDs about how bitcoin poses a threat.

Recently saw the news, sorry can't find the source now. It gave an example of statistics on how much funds are used by terrorists and hackers for their machinations with the help of bitcoin. And this percentage was around 1-1.5%.

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.
That's true. Bitcoin is just one way to transact illegal transactions that's why we can say that it is used by criminals. But to be honest, there are so many ways to be used by criminals, but some of them just choose bitcoin.
Indeed it is true that transaction of bitcoin is now very fast and easy people will not have to wait for it, but it does not mean bitcoin will decrease the value, some people use bitcoin for good and some for bad so it is not like bitcoin is bad, people just take the advantages of it that bitcoin has anonymous nature and it is untraceable so it is easy for them to use it. Bitcoin is digital currency and it has a lot of advantages along with disadvantages.

I would agree with the judgment that bitcoin can also be used for crime. Only the term "criminal" does not quite fit, or rather it will be for illegal transactions.
Bitcoin could be used by Criminals but I haven't encountered anyone that was using Bitcoin with Criminal intentions. No proof of them using it.

Of course.It is not impossible.We see a lot of news that represents that bitcoin is used in hacking or terrorism or other criminal activities. It is possible because one can use bitcoin,transact bitcoin without expressing self real identity.It is so tough to find the criminals who has did that offence.So,the criminals often find it easy to make an offence throgh the help of bitcoin.It is guessed that the reserve of BANGLADESH BANK was stolen by the help of bitcoin.
