Yes it is unfortunately bitcoin has been always connected to the criminals,
It is a perfect get away or a perfect currency for them ,Remember the Silk Road I think that's what started this whole thing bitcoin has been known because of it,
Bitcoin is also a perfect way for money laundering .

I think there are some criminals who use bitcoin. Why is that? because bitcoin is anonymous so criminals can eliminate their identity with bitcoin. So they can act safely I think. that's just my opinion. Although not all are used by criminals.

I've also read that bitcoin has been used for crime and I think criminals are also always looking for ways or opportunities to make a profit for him but to the detriment of others

Certainly many criminals use bitcoin just to get stolen because they already know bitcoins today and many investors are here. so the criminals have the opportunity to use it with their techniques to get stolen and what other techniques to get the lame money litter from bitcoin.

this is not a wrong internet, and also bitcoin
but this is the fault of people abusing the internet and bitcoin, and can not just come to a conclusion
evil will always exist, until whenever and never will be lost. we as bitcoin and internet users who do positive work, get the impact of the behavior of people who are not responsible
and we must unite to fight them.

It is the con of being an anonymous transaction as bitcoin. You can not tell most of the time who is using the network. It is not surprising if most of the bitcoin price came from bad elements abusing the network for their dubious actions.

bitcoin surely is used by criminals. Same as water and bread. As criminals also eat and drink. Thank to that they can exist. Are we going to ban drinking water for this reason? I don't think so. Same with bitcoin and other crypto.

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, many criminals use bitcoin as a way of trading. I don't think it can blame bitcoin. If there is no bitcoin, there may be other COINS that will replace bitcoin as a way of dealing with criminals. Many countries ban bitcoin for this reason, which I think is unwise.

I think, yes. Bitcoin is most commonly used by criminals because, first it is thru internet where most of the people don't have access, second, crime is much easier and faster with the use of today's technology, third, money is everything and it can be the source of evil and that's why there are many cyber criminals out there that uses bitcoin as their fundings to their bad deeds. They can access through your private informations and other stuff so be careful enough on what to click and what to display on the internet.
Bitcoin can be used by all, from investors, enthusiasts, buyers, and sellers to criminals and terrorists. If the conventional money can be used in crimes, why not bitcoin? I think it is true that criminals and terrorists use bitcoin as their currency to transact with people who also involved in crime and terrorism. From now, cyber security became an issue and professionals are working in blockchain  from now on to monitor these kinds of acts.

Bitcoin is being used by criminals, but its usefulness is diminishing as authorities get better at tracking transactions. Any major criminal who thinks bitcoin offers full anonymity is sadly mistaken.

Of course it is as is fiat what's the difference ? unfortunately crypto would be a great way to clean money and it was also used in its early days on silk road and the dark web and still would be.

Anything can be used to crime. If you buy a gun and use it to shoot someone, the gun is just an instrument but the shooter is the one who killed. This would be different if the gun is given to a police officer to protect citizens.

Point is, anything is determined with intentions. Regulating bitcoin could help avoid malicious use of it.

Remember that bitcoin is digital currency and anyone can earn it and can buy it anywhere. So there is no doubt that criminal can't used bitcoin. Everyone can used bitcoin. It depend on the user of bitcoin that for which purpose he want to used their bitcoins. There is no mistake of bitcoin. I advise to all people to used your money for good work not for bad. As we all need development and that will be possible when we can create peace through out the world.
