Topic: Is bitcoin used by criminals ? - page 52. (Read 5073 times)
criminals can use bitcoin to find funds to facilitate action, and not only that they become fiat criminals. they are people who use neat suits and occupy high positions in governments of various countries and at top executives positions of various international companies. they are the criminals who take the rights of their own citizens.
If BTC is used for crime then the fault is that person. Not on BTC because BTC is the currency to use in terms of positiv not for crime.
that's my view
that's my view
Yes it can also ne used by criminals and scammers who want to earn money in a wrong way. We can encounter many of this and this is the reason why other people dont trust bitcoin because they once a victim of this 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.
I agree with you that bitcoin and internet are just tools . It depends on us on how to use them. I mean good people same as bad people are also everywhere. even there is no bitcoin, bad people will find their own way to do bad things. I still believe that there are many good people out there who are using bitcoin to help their family financially. There are so much good things bitcoin had given us , especially the opportunity to earn money and a chance to have an investment. paying our bills wihtout going to a queue.

your right some bitcoin holder is terrorist and use bitcoin to buy guns to illigal gambling..
and to buy other illigal stuff..
Perhaps. Probability is very high. Bitcoin has been the de facto currency of the Dark Web – the 'hidden' Internet accessible only by Tor – since the pioneering marketplace Silk Road, the 'eBay of drugs', arrived in 2011.
But just how much do we know about these new underground economies? Who is buying and selling ? Answers we sont know for sure.

It is being used by stupid criminals. But if you really want to hide use Monero or Zcash. Stupid criminals think that they can hide their criminal activities by using Bitcoin.
Yes bitcoin was originally used as one of the most commonly used means of payment in the dark web. But do we have to ban things that are also being used by the criminals? Of course not. Remember anything that is good can be used in bad ways too.
Probably if, as all currencies are always going to influence the cases of crime and drug trafficking, the illicit use of the coins have always been a matter of interest in any currency, from the dollar to the peso, the bitcoin or the cryptocurrencies would not be out of this, but that does not mean that they are responsible for everything bad
Any invention or thing can be used correctly or not correctly. So it is with bitcoin, you can not follow constantly who and how uses it.
It can be used. And such cases have already occurred. And there were cases when the criminals were found
Some wallets don't require you to validate your identity so I guess criminals are at an advantage here... I don't think they are only limited to using Bitcoin though..
It is possible that btc is use by criminals. But there's any currency never been used by criminals? There is none. All currency/cryptocurrency is susceptible to such doing no exemption. I think those people just only discredit the btc.
Criminals use both fiat and bitcoins, depending on what's more convenient for them.
Though governments only look at the angle that criminals use bitcoin to shed cryptocurrencies on a bad light and finally regulate it.

all there is value is to use by criminals so yes bitcoin must be too
In part yes, but we could also say that the 500€ banknotes are used by criminal right?
in the Past few years Lot of sindicates use these cryptocurrencies as their transactions because of its unique feature that its transactions are just anonymously and no one can know whos that person doing the transactions.but with that bad doing still it gives bitcoin A great Impact and make the Bitcoin's arising popularity
These are all existing, because the anonymous letter of BTC, many transactions can not be completed on site!
Only in the virtual network, through BTC wallet transfer can be completed!
And you can't trade

I don't have any direct knowledge about criminals are using bitcoin for their illegal activities. Even I'm also known about this is by reading and analysing about Bitcoin in forum and articles. 
Bitcoin is not always used by criminals or for criminal activities, may be bitcoin can be used for good or bad things it depends to the person who handles it .We cannot force anyone to do what we wish it is up to themselves only. Can we agree with a person who possess fiat currency not involving in bad activities like using for illegal activities on buying drugs and weapons .For using in criminal activities Bitcoin is not the reason.
