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 never saw by my self so who am i to answer,but in my own opinion this. Is not impossible because this is anonymous and decentralization can protect the peosonality of every individuals to send and receive so the thing is maybe theyre using this community to capitalized illegal activities such as criminality 
Topic: Is bitcoin used by criminals ? - page 38. (Read 5073 times)
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.
Right. Not only bitcoins they are using, but if they are using almost is fiat. There are many people who are using bitcoin for illegal doings, most of them are hackers, because if you are a hacker and want to pay something, you will be needed bitcoin because in bitcoin, you can receive or send money without providing your personal information.
Easy and difficult to track bitcoin users will make it easier for their users to maintain the privacy of their data. This is what causes them (criminals) to commit criminal acts, they take advantage of the advantages possessed by bitcoin for criminal acts. I think this is a negative action that someone did in using bitcoin, the fact on the ground that nowadays increasing cyber crime action because of cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is sure being use by criminals that deals with weapon purschase,drug baron and terrorist,because Bitcoin allow private transaction,its make it easier to transact and do illegal deals without government agency interferance
I'm positive bitcoin is being used by criminals but who cares. They use banks, fiat so no difference.
I like the idea of privacy coins. Not for the fact of being able to do something dodgy but in the end why should authorities be able to have track me and what i do.

Your idea is correct. We can not absolutely conclude whether a thing is guilty or not, such as a knife or a gun. These are all based on different situations to determine whether or not a crime is committed. Bitcoin is just one of the instruments of crime.
Everyone can use bitcoin and when we talking about criminals ... 
bitcoin is the most popular currency there nowadays and it's obvious and clear.

Bitcoin is can be used by criminals, because it have anonymous transactions. That's why I think cryptocurrency must be non-anonymous.
I dont know about bitcoin ecosystem too much as i am not interested in it too much...they are not so reliable.

There is a posibility that it can be used by criminals. But come to think of it, a criminal not only use bitcoin but also use bank account in their illegal doings. Bitcoin is good. Criminals do bad. It will always be their choice. Meaning a criminal will always do bad even if the thing is good. So we should not blame bitcoin if it is used in bad. I didnt heard that before but thats not a thing to be surprised because we even use internets that are also used by terrorists for their outlawful works.
I think OP was not referring to terrorists here. There can be different perceptions regarding criminal. I know some people buying illegal things like stealth paypal accounts as it is not allowed to open one in their country. Will you call it a crime ?

Bitcoin was to be used by criminals before it became more mainstream. They could be sent rather anonymously and were used as the primary currency of .onion black markets. I think bitcoin is still used in illegal ways but there are other coins now which are more anonymous like monaro.
At the end of the day bitcoin is just a secure way of transferring and keeping wealth that doesn't rely on a bank to keep your funds.

To be honest actually bitcoin can either use for a good and bad , and still depend on the person or the beholder if he/she wanted to use it for a cause. This is the reason that giving a bad image through bitcoin industry , many criminals , hackers , and terrorist using bitcoin to transact at the what so called the deep web where they transact anonymously. Bitcoin can use at any cost , and any where so obviously it's still depend on the person on how he/she will use it.
Bitcoin is used by everyone whatever the status of the person in life you maybe a professional, criminal, young, old, etc. We can say criminals also use it because it is hard to trace who owned the specific wallet that is use in transferring fund. I had read as well that it was used in getting ransom in kidnapping that was a one of the worst i had read.
Bitcoin applies to everyone, and it's up to everyone who uses it, if I personally better bitcoin is used for useful things and with a good purpose.
Very likely, with the anonymous feature it allows everyone to use bitcoin including the criminals, I get a lot of news saying that bitcoin is a good place for money laundering crimes from corruptors.

Before proceeding to bitcoins negative issues why dont we tend to see how bitcoin really works for people? Dont stick to those who just talk about their own point of view, we really can tell that rumors can easily spread out when ever and wherever. The best logic would be, if bitcoin is manipulated by criminals and used by criminals, why do millionaires have trusted their moneys to this banking?
As companies have moved to use blockchain technology to help police identify criminals using bitcoin, tracking the flow of digital money.
Criminals are monitored using BTC, making it harder for criminals to hide.

Actually bitcoin is made,for the used of common goods,but this speculation is maybe become true,that bitcoin would be used in criminality or other illegall activities.bitcoin is a digital currency we could not seen an transparent transaction,maybe some of war lords likes those ISIS,they used this as a funding in buying a weapon of mass destruction,but this is only my own speculation we have nothing evidence that is used for criminality and destroying our mother earth.
