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 like scammer people they use word bitcoin to other people. I see news yesterday in social media that bitcoin is use to scam.

I agree. There are a lot of backlashes about bitcoin being used for illegal activities but to be honest for a technology dedicated to becoming a replacement for conventional currency, this is just normal. Fiat money is even more widely used in this types of criminalitiy to be honest.

bad bitcoin users will not make bitcoin worse. It all depends on intention, just as with conventional currency, so many people use it criminally. Do you use bitcoin for a good purpose ..?

Please define "good purpose". Something which may be defined as "good" by someone may be defined as "bad" by someone else. For example, weed is legal in countries such as Uruguay and Portugal. But in countries such as India and Indonesia, the possession of weed can get you a prison sentence.

I think most criminals use bitcoin, because it's money laundering. Regardless of how secure and transparent your currency is, it will be used by bad people in one way or another.

A few of the criminals may be using Bitcoin. But what difference that is going to make?
The vast majority of the criminals deal with fiat currency, and I haven't seen anyone blaming the fiat for that.
More and more criminal organizations use Altcoin to trade, instead of cash because cash is easy to detect and difficult to trade. Using Altcoin makes it easy for them not to be caught by the law.

I have read many articles about the issue. Some of them assert that before BTC explosion ( a few years ago) it used to be a payment method for various illegal activities. However, most countries are not worried about these activities. Unfortunately, they are concerned about the decentralization of industries and losing control of everything!

Of course they do. Like any other currency. Yes it became easier for them to translate, shoot and so on. But I think they still do something against them. Nothing stands still. Ways to do this will be.

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. Absolutely everything can be used and used by bad people for criminal purposes. Because of this, you should not question the common right of people to anonymity on the Internet. Some people and structures are constantly raising this topic with the aim of discrediting the crypto currency. However, the cryptogram itself has nothing to do with it. Criminality is a purely law enforcement issue, and customs help them to do this. Cool

People think criminals use bitcoin to take advantage of tax or make black money white etc, but criminals has been doing that with paper money too. No matter how secure and transparent your currency is, it will be used by bad people one way or another. So lets look into positive things.

One thing I have noticed is that the incidence of Bitcoin-based ransomware affecting the systems have gone down. During 2017, some of the hackers behind these ransomware were arrested by the law enforcement authorities, and that might have caused a decline.

I'm pretty sure that criminals use bitcoin to commit a crime. They are scamming, doing any related crime because they aren't contented on what they have

Bitcoin is also used by criminals because its easy to remove the trace from the blockchain. Criminals can use a Bitcoin mixers to remove the trail. Not just by criminals also used to fund the terrorist. We cannot prevent this because crypto is decentralized. All we can do is to become responsible.

Definitely yes, bitcoin and the other cryptocurrency can able to used by criminals and i am sure that when the criminals used bitcoin, it has a advantages and disadvantages, the advantage of it is the bitcoin is will able to be more popular and disadvantage of it is some criminals can ruined bitcoin.

Quite frankly, yes they are using bitcoin anonymously, there have been several or numerous cases through the years that criminals are using bitcoin, as a payment method, transacting stuff, most likely to be weapons or drugs, but on the other hand, we also use bitcoin as a positive effect to the industry, its not only them, but us also, we are more likely to influence more and more people to embrace bitcoin and cryptocurrency, but sadly it also has disadvantages once bitcoin becomes more mainstream, gladly altcoins are here to help.

possible, because anonymous transactions can lead to money laundry, bad people can gather in bitcoin, this reason also causes some countries do not legalize bitcoin, maybe anonymous transactions can be a positive or a negative thing, the positive our identity is not dispersed and not complicated.

We all know that bitcoin can use by anyone and we did not know what is the characteristics of each of the user because in getting or withdrawing a bitcoin they did not ask if what is the record of the people and too hard to trace the users if they use it in goods or bads.
