Maybe some people used bitcoin for illegal purposes because its unknown source and no one can know who doing the transaction. So we cannot avoid it that bitcoin can use by the criminals.

I've heard about the possibility of selling drugs for bitcoins.I think that's why many governments want to start regulating it
The procent of illegal trades in bitcoin blockchain is about 1%. And remember that in the blockchain you can see all transactions, which can be useful for police. Bad thing for them is bitcoin mixer, which allow users make transaction anonymous. Aslo do not forget about Zcash, Dash, Monero, which are amonymous. But, guys, in the world won't to reduce crime due to regulation of cryptocurrency.

For now, criminals doesn't use bitcoin. In using bitcoin, there's some process that you need to do before you get in to it.
For the criminals such as holduppers, they can't easily get bitcoin if they will ask money to you and you will give your bitcoin.
That reasoning is funny, i laughed just a little bit. Thanks! There is no doubt that bitcoin is being used by criminals, because bitcoin can be used to buy illegal drugs, trading of any illegal thing anonymously. And because of that, some country are not accepting bitcoin, because their government think it might be their biggest competition, because it will be going hard to find who, where, is the criminal, because just what i stated before, bitcoin can be used anonymously.

Bitcoin is used by criminals, but its usefulness is diminishing as the authorities get better at tracking transactions. So it will be more difficult to commit bitcoin crimes

This is the reason most of the counties around the world are against Bitcoin because it is being used in some illegal activities so countries are trying to ban it I think they should make some kind of rules instead of banning it.
Since Bitcoin can be used worldwide, it is given that all people have a free access to use it; in good or in a bad way. Thus, yes, Bitcoin is used by criminals. There's a scam that where Bitcoin is involved.

yes like Ransomware, Ransomware is a type of virus that blocks all data in one system that uses windows. Once he attacks the computer device, all the data in the device is inaccessible. The criminals sent a message, asking for a ransom to block the data was opened. They also provide a time limit. If passed, then the ransom to be paid will multiply

what a stupid question. all that has value is used by criminals. Does not crime use the dollar? or another currency?

True. These ideas are just a way of anti-bitcoin or the government to manipulate the media that it is often used on online criminal activities even if it is not. USD is still the number one especially for international terrorists.

I think it makes no difference between bitcoin and conventional money. They're both used by criminals. Because functionally, bitcoin and conventional money is a tool commonly used to pay for a service. While the services themselves can be anything, even a crime though.
