Everything will be control by criminals who dont have dignity to do crime even bitcoin use by abusing people such like scam and want to earn money from scamming all peaople use it thats why we cannot tell when, who or what they use to do crime and bitcoin can be used and there is little possibility to stop it when it comes to high quality criminals.

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.

Yes, bitcoins can be used by criminals because it is a digital currency just the same as credit cards but governments should not ban cryptocurrency, some of the people who does not have a stable work are becoming a trader so it also help people to sustain their daily needs.
This is what all countries worry about because bitcoin is too free to use and anonymous so nobody knows the bitcoin transaction is for good or for criminals, and and it is a matter of all of us to prevent if we know.

Bitcoin can be used as a payment for weapons and drugs, and the dollar is fine.

Everyone has the right to use bitcoin, good or bad.

Since bitcoin, like the other crypto currency, is relatively anonymous, it is certainly used by criminals for their own purposes in order to avoid responsibility. And this is not surprising. Criminals use any innovations and break technology to commit crimes. It was and will always be. Therefore, blame for this bitcoin should not be.

It might be true that bitcoin has been used by criminals in their illegal activities but they can be easily traced and some of them already prosecuted. In the case of terrorist using bitcoin, the privacy issue related to the public blockchain make it a poor choice for terrorist. Dollar is still the king of untraceable payment.

The real  criminals are the one's printing fiat, collecting taxes and sellings weapons around the world.
Lol, it seems that you are hating your government brother. Collecting taxes is fine with me as long as the money they collected goes back to the people in a form of services and infrastructure projects. If that taxes goes to their deep pockets then it is a crime.

Bitcoin can be used by criminals if they want to but they can be traced however so it would be an idiotic move to use bitcoin to commit crimes.

Everything good in these world can be used by bad guys, so also bitcoin. However, maybe by regulating bitcoin on every part of the world, we can lessen the used of it on bad things. That is why bitcoin regulation is really necessary, it will only not lessen all the bad things linked to bitcoin but it will also help bitcoin's growth more effectively. Criminals or bad guys exist all over the world, and they truly affect bitcoin's existence by giving people an idea that it is most often used on criminal activities. And I really hate it, a lot!  Angry

Of course though it's just like a fiat if I gave you a $100 it's either you bought a wine or a food for yourself right? so as the bitcoin it's your responsible or it depend on the person on how he/she would value the bitcoin. And yes it can be use either through legal stuffs and through illegal stuffs. Cause you can access many sites that are illegal then using bitcoin as a pay. That's the risk of the internet , and to be honest many of the criminals using the what so called the Tor, if you know what I mean tor can use through accessing the  deep web , that keep your identity safe but , but if your not have a proper knowledge then your IP address will be hacked and that's the main part of accessing through jail to be honest though.

Yes it is used by criminals as well as cash because both of them are anonym in usage but that does not mean it is a bad thing per se.

Hi,

Cash is still the first currency for criminal organizations and first of all us dollar. I was very surprised when I read (it was in 2009) that 90 % of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine : 90% !

I don't think it has changed a lot.

Note that fiat transactions can be tracked by governments. Buyers an sellers can be prosecuted. But there are no control on bitcoin transactions. So there is a big difference. That's why governments worry.

Yes, some people says bitcoin used by criminals it is rarely true. I heard very few people usd bitcoin by crime. But very most people use bitcoin in commerce for earn money. This is valid.
