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 true. Something very important to note in the life of the majority of goods that are originally produced for good, some bad elements also make use same good. Just like a gun manufactured for protection, but also used for some nefarious activities. 
Topic: Is bitcoin used by criminals ? - page 8. (Read 5047 times)
There is a possibility that it is being used by criminals. There are no rules in bitcoin, as long as we can access it, we can use it everyday, everywhere and anywhere. It can be use by everyone, young or even old as long as they can handle it and manage their btc properly.
Yes, most likely bitcoin is used in illegal trades and other probihited transcations that cant be done in banks, because bitcoin is anonymous transaction is hard to trace like who is the sender and the reciever.
Well for me it has a big chance that the bitcoin can be used by criminals because bitcoin is open for everyone, every people in this world can used bitcoin, including criminals, and for me there now so many criminals are starting to used bitcoin because it is more easy to used, and bitcoin can give a lot of money for everyone. 
Not even the bitcoin used by the criminals...dolar and euro gold and all fiat money also...this idea is a stupide idea used for control the public view about the bitcoin
This view is far too superficial to me. It may be that the Internet and the BTC are also used by criminals.
The idea for the creation of the BTC by Satoshi Nakamoto has been for the personal freedom of the people. As a payment coup and investment, the BTC is also used by the masses of people. There will always be criminal machinations, whether BTC or FIAT money.

Yes. For bets on contractual matches. I faced this once
Yes Bitcoin can be used by criminals. Its anonymous nature allows it to be used for crimes like money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, and contraband transactions. Stealing cryptocurrencies of others is also possible. This is one of major reasons that government is banning them.
The freedom BTC offers makes it use friendly to anyone who is willing to be involved in it, if its convenient for criminals then they are free to use it as well. BTC use has no limitations
Obviously Yes. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin is a criminal-led currency. Fiat money is also used by criminals. Does it mean that fiat is a criminal-led currency? The point is, money is a neutral thing whatever kind of currency it is.
Is cash used by criminals? Yes. Are you going to stop using cash now? I don't think so. So why are you picking just Bitcoin out of every currency. Just cause you became influenced by a media article doesn't means that Bitcoin is less valuable now.
The mainstream media has succeeded in painting such a picture of Bitcoin. If you ask someone who is not familiar with crypto-currency about BTC, then he will most probably reply that it is a currency used by the criminals.
It is not exactly about Bitcoin, but still, once a heard that Kim Jong Un, not a nice guy, mined Monero
In fact, we need to objectively recognize that we can not demand a perfect technology and meet all the needs of consumers from any purpose. That is very unlikely. Bitcoin has brought convenience and efficiency to life, society by transparency and fairness. Of course, those characteristics of bitcoin are being exploited as a tool for criminal organizations with frenzied thoughts about crimes. It can happen in society and is very difficult to control and manage.

Some of them are using bitcoins! There are many news about criminals that are using bitcoins who caught by the police. They say that the criminality is increases because of the digital currencies. 
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.
Yeah, I think some are using bitcoin in doing illegal activity like drug trade, human trafficking and the like. Crypto currency is also being used by some in doing investment scams wherein they promise that your investment will grow faster. At first they will pay you but when you invest more btc its time for them to run away your money.
No dount it is an easy way but also cash is often used for criminal acts, I think bitcoin is just a medium to easily transfer money from one person to another without the large fees charged, yet many people commit crimes choose bitcoin because of the anonymous nature of bitcoin so the identity of the receiver and the recipient can not be known, this makes it difficult for the authorities to investigate. 
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.

There have been a lot of instances wherein Bitcoins were used for Frauds etc. You can actually check the Scam Accusations and Reputation section of this forum to see the ways of how they utilize cryptocurrency to get money. Since Bitcoin transactions is irreversible, it's easy for them to get the money and just run away. There is no way for governments to go after the criminal since it's not yet regulated in some countries.
I think this is part of the fake new.. Why do you think terrorist will use Bitcoin and make time for this kind is there busy with their terorist plans.. Though i really don't know But to think we can't really control whats beyond our reach and its not imposible that they can use btc by terrorist, drug dealer, elligal trafficing etc.. Couse its still money and power we're talking about here.. I guess it might be true...
