Yes for sure but this doesn't mean that it is a spam, it's benefits are more than harms. In the past there was a huge money laundery activities all around the world and the governments stopped it, it might be the same in crypto market in the future, we can not go on without seeing this development.
Well it is really possible that bitcoin can be used by many crimininals in this economy, because bitcoin is can able to use byn everyone and it is easy to learn how bitcoin can used, and for me there are a lot of rich criminals using bitcoin because they know that they are safe with bitcoin.

This is because criminals think that bitcoin is very easy to use, compared with banks that need a real identity to create accounts, anonymously and without identity then we can make any number of wallets, and certainly do not need an identity (anonymous).
Yes, although the transaction can be seen by everyone but its identity is quite difficult to trace if it is kept secret by the owner. So criminals use this to support their criminal activity. So we need to address this wisely, if used as a good, it will be more useful.

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.
this is so because bitcoin is accessible to anyone and anywhere as long as there is a support network so if the result of bitcoin for the crime depends on the purpose and initial intentions of the investors

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

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. Also, all of they uses air for breathing!!!

Yes. For bets on contractual matches. I faced this once
There's a chance that bitcoin can.be usedthere in criminality but I don't think it would be a great idea in the part of law and criminals. Criminals might think twice before entering this kind of transaction because they might caught easily. On the side of the law it will add to their numerous problem and that's not a good thing.

Bitcoin is not control by any government so there is no rules to use it. Anyone can use it now. Its a online currency so anyone who use internet can use bitcoin so every one can use it without any restriction. It is useful for criminals its true. If any criminal want to use it they can use it very easily. So it is possible to bitcoin used criminal.

internet are very useful for the fastest transactions of any kind of documents even the bank they use internet to monitor the stocks movement in the market price for the fiat money, if the internet go die because the reason is to stop the bitcoin operation is not good idea, let's say the bad element using bitcoin are only 1% than 99% people use bitcoin in the good ways, i think this not fair for those working for good for their future.

I am a little bit tired of hearing stuff like this. Bitcoin is implicated to terror activities, to illegal activities, to the deep web where everything appears to be illegal thus underground, and so on. There is no point really to generalize anything at this point as a some kind of tool for terrorists.For those who are easily affected will definitely consider bitcoin very bad.

Of course with anonymous features everyone thinks that bitcoin is used for criminal transactions, and I do not think this is true forever because of the greater benefits of bitcoin and more for good transactions.

Well we can never deny the fact that we can't avoid this kind of criminalization so I think all we need to do is to become more aware about this. But I wish that bitcoin forum will be more secured so that we can lessen this and there's no people will be affected about this kind of criminal.

I think it's very possible that criminals use bitcoin for transactions such as buying drugs, weapons, money laundering and so on, this is because the anonymous bitcoin feature supports that.

A few weeks ago a singular group of kidnappers was arrested in my country. They had the idea of asking the family of the kidnapped for a significant amount of money via bitcoin as a ransom.

While it is true that this band was quickly arrested by the police, it is a sign that every day there is more interest in criminal gangs for "adapting" to new technological trends, including bitcoin.

I think, nowadays criminals uses everything, not only just Bitcoin. But this it is not bitcoin fault because the criminals have been exist along before Bitcoin. Unfortunately, Criminals are everywhere.

Indeed, in a deep web, onion sites. Transactions are only in bitcoin, of course becouse of decentralization, so nobody cant know who will send and who will recieve money.
I saw it with my eyes.
