if we ask different question with same contest : is money used by criminals ? true the answer would be yes because it is simply a payment gateway which is more secure than other type of payments so crimes will not stop if money \bitcoin ended . they gonna find new way .
it's not entirely a bitcoin error, but it's a person who misuses bitcoin as a crime transaction tool
and we can not take unilateral decisions, and stamp the bitcoin as a crime transaction tool, if you want to blame, blame the bad guys by using bitcoin instead of blaming bitcoin

bitcoin being a currency, just like USD and any other currencies/fiat, criminals can also use bitcoin in many illegal ways. tho bitcoin is more popular to "rich" criminals, because it offers anonymity, it makes the transaction hard to trace.
Yeah you're right, the problem is not the bitcoin itself, the problem is they see and use bitcoin as a tool to create those crime, scams and other illegal activities. But unlike the internet which start to have a positive side and lately being used in illegal acts, bitcoin on the other hand, become famous due to technological advancement and utilization in illegal works then good points just follow. I read news that hackers uses bitcoin as a payment to give back a hacked data in hospitals, movie industries and the like.
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 guys says it all. Bitcoin and internet are just tools just like a knife is. Is a blade evil? No, but only if the wielder does. And unfortunately, we can't filter who are the only people that can use bitcoin because that is its purpose. The only thing we can do is to encourage everyone to be fair and use bitcoin properly. Tell every other bitcoiner to follow the laws mandated by their government so we wouldn't have issues with them. If you want to stop criminality in any aspect of the society, start with yourself and to the ones closest to you.
More and more news reports that the digital currency bitcoin is a tool for the criminal world around the world. In terms of the criminal world, it also includes terrorism, trafficking in drugs, weapons, child pornography, and people. It may seem monstrous to you that for bitcoins, for example in Africa, Asia, India, Latin America, you can buy live people, mostly women and children.
This can happen due to some reasons: 1) This currency is decentralised and dont need central approval and can besold to anyone.
Yes.BUT not only bitcoin ,fiat currencies like USD,EURO also use by criminals.Even Gold also use by them.that is not a fault of bitcoin.it is a fault of people who use it.as a example some people use knife to kill another one.But some use knife to just cut fruits.so it is stupid thing to ban knife from the world.just like that it is not the fault of bitcoin.bitcoin is the 1st digital currency in the world.Blockchain technology is a most advanced technology still in infant age.so one day people will find a way to track those who use bitcoin for illegal things.until then we all must be patient without blaming to bitcoin.

Thats Right!!!
Let's look back, where .. in the past, payment transactions for terrorists and hackers have been going on with conventional money and bank transfers before bitcoin exists. Then, after bitcoin exists, the criminals use it as a medium for transactions. Then, many parties are making negative image about bitcoin. Come on !!!!!! I think, it's not worth it, it's not fair. Bitcoin is just a tool, bitcoin is just a medium that made the transaction tool.
I think that even the most moral thing in the world can be used for criminal purposes, this does not make bitcoins a fraudulent payment method. Everything if placed in the hands of the wrong person can be used with illegal intent.
Yes, it's like a knife. When used fairly and correctly, then the knife will benefit us, but if it used by people who have bad intent, would be bad too. So is bitcoin. Not everyone who uses bitcoin is a man of goodwill.
If bitcoin is used by criminals for sure bitcoin will be lessen or even banned in that particular country and the image of btc will be bad in the sight of many companies and holders of their money, also btc will be more secure and harder to get or to earn if many people were using btc for illegal purposes and bad intentions.
Yes Bitcoin is used by criminals also. Bitcoin is open for everyone,there is no limitation about using Bitcoin.as a result anyone can use it. many criminals uses Bitcoin through giving payment to those who works under them.

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.
I think yes. Bitcoin is a global currency everyone can use it. So we don't know how people use it. Is it good or is it for bad. In bitcoin it's hard to determine who are the criminals. Maybe they are using this to buy illegal drugs and smuggled weapons and many more.
I've read an article in which hitmans, trackers, and hackers are payed with Bitcoins, and is also used for illegal transactions especially underneath the surface web. But do keep in mind that this also happens in all types of currencies.
everybody is a user of bitcoin. it depends on what to be used for, criminals are using to perpetrate their evil deed therefore it can be used by criminals
All currency is used by criminals.
Could be yes and may not be ...
because in the world of crypto and bitcoin we can not know who the actual holder of the coin is currently circulating.
we also have to track its existence so it is difficult to guess whether all this is actually in the control of criminals or not.
The important thing is we take positive effects and use for things that are useful and good.

Yes, criminals used bitcoin for paying for drugs or extortion fees on the Internet. because bitcoin is safe for the transaction and any government or any people cannot track them where they are formed to buy everything.
