i think no, cause the main idea is bribing. not really a good purposes
but if you use bribing with bitcoin that will be hard to get tracked by government or anybody else, so i think good enough

It seems bribing with bitcoin will not be detected, but we must also believe that such action is ugly and against the law. It is back to the person, if there is indeed the intention to bribe then with whatever could be done include using bitcoin.

When you accept bribe via Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, you still need to act smart, suddenly exchanging thousands of dollars will raise suspicions and you'll have to explain where did you get those coins. So in order to avoid this, you should make purchase with your bribe coins, so it will be much harder to notice, unless you make some big spending, like a car or house. Also, it's not true that bribes are always wrong, sometimes you can bribe officials to circumvent some bad laws, like marijuana ban for example. In many countries you might even need to give bribes just to get some documents that should have been given for free.

I don't get why you would even use a USB stick for this.. You would still have to physically hand it over.. imo there are much smarter ways to do it.

You can avoid a transaction on the blockchain by simply mailing a printed cold wallet without return address. No trace on the chain of that..

Anyway, ofcourse, don't bribe, it is not a good thing to do.

Sometimes bribers is the only way to get things done in China.

Ha, Chinese officials are very corrupted, you know they should be more transparent, but they are all hypocrite, they say they love the country, but steal money from Chinese people.

Bribing via bitcoin is easy and highly secure that other than the bribe giver and receiver knows it. Recently too in US a Pastor was convicted for bribe through bitcoin. It has come to the court for hearing, on the first day its found that $15000 worth bitcoin was received in the form of church donation.

There are many cases coming around from the world. People are misusing it anonymity for their best. No one else need to know about this transaction other than the sender and receiver.

That is reality, and is a bad idea, it is misconduct and bad. I hate people like that. If you do that, you are a criminal. Bitcoin currency is a clean, your ideas are denigrate the value of Bitcoin

Error 404: there seems to be nothing here.

I don't think people in this thread need to teach OP how bribing is bad and plain wrong. He is capable enough to understand the consequences of bribing.

Other than that, Bitcoin has made bribing more easier since it allows anonymous payment and there are hundreds of ways to make your coins disappear after the transaction is complete.

Everything has a good and a bad side and this is just another way Bitcoins can be misused.

With 1000 dollars each, it seems that bribing with bitcoin would be a good idea. One USB stick will do the job with no third party required.

Confess, who re about to ask for a Bitcoin bribe? You would not post this topic if this was not the case!!

Confess and repent!

If you don't know the identity of the person you're bribing, they can report you anyway and not get caught. If you do know the identity of the person you're bribing it removes the need for Bitcoin because paying them cash in person is just as good.

Transacting through bitcoin for whatsoever reason is a good idea and but paying bribe is not. It will only encourage the scamstars to continue with their misdeeds as bitcoin transactions will not effect that person directly and he will be able to hide the trail of the payment as per his wish.

However, don't try to use bitcoin for illegal transactions. Because these kind of illegal transactions will block the progress of bitcoin to become an international currency. Governments will not trust this currency as a legal one due to money laundering claims and public trust will start to reduce. Use it for investment or shopping instead of paying bribe.

Bitcoin, at the first place can get you done anything you want with it but it does not mean people should do every illegal things with it. Of course it can be more anonymous for bribing someone if it is done with bitcoins and no one can know if what is going on at all, but at the end, it is bribing and it is really not a good thing at all.

From the ethical point of view bribing in whatever form is something that should be discouraged but there are some situations that you find yourself, you just have to bribe your way out so in this case, since bitcoin is money and the recipient is aware of that and also willing to accept it, then I say it should be used and the advantage with that is it can not be traced back to whoever is giving the bribe...

if you are bribing it would be a good choice, since there is no evidence and it's not linked to a name etc... However the same is a downfall, you wouldn't be able to threaten the one bribed with it, therefore might not get anything for it..
Regarding it not being popular, it doesn't matter.. it has a USD value and can be exchanged easily, at the same time it would be clean money not something that can be linked like a bank transfer.

I’m not going to talk about the ethics and risks of bribery, like most of the replies that you are getting, but I don’t think that bitcoin is the ideal medium for bribery. Bitcoin is not a very common currency. You talk to the average person about it, and they’ll probably tell you that they don’t understand bitcoin. Of course, if you give anyone $1000 in bitcoin, they will still have the motivation to cash it in, but they’ll also have trouble doing so. If you are trying to bribe someone with a usb stick holding bitcoin, it is too slow for them to verify the amount of bitcoin on the usb. Bribery should be quick and discreet.

Thanks for sharing your views. What if bitcoin is described as an P2P saving system? Do you think they would hold them.

If you do this and if you got caught. This will be a sensationalized news for the bitcoin community. And this will have a negative impact to us. And if this ever happen, bitcoin will have a difficult to be adopted by many people.

i do not think that it is such an easy job in my area, because bitcoin is still not use b to many people here. te sers of bitcoin are very little in number and most of the people are using fat therefore there are more chance of such things in fiat and not in bitcoin.

Why would any one need to give a bribe in the first instance if you didnt even engage in something of illegal ends. And even if that is the case, I want to believe that the person who is to collect the bribe will be the one to determine the currency of acceptance and if he or she has agreed to collect bitcoin then I dont see any problem since it is money and even if it is fiat, he will still collect.

Sometimes, (especially in third world countries), you need to give people bribes to make them do their job. It is a social evil, but it exists.
Bitcoin will just make it harder for those people to get outed. Sad

If you are going to use bitcoin to bribe the government officials and other person in authorities they will not accept bitcoin especially in third world countries. The reason is simple bitcoin is hard to exchange for local currencies and if they will exchange it to local currencies they cannot convert it unless they make a verification using their valid ids. So to make it simple they just want a direct bribe without passing to an escrow that requires you to submit valid id for verification.

yes,then you will have to take this guy's e-mail to teach him how to convert his bitcoin bribe into fiat Grin

like a scene from a spy movie-two guys come to a park,one is reading a newspaper and leaves a usb drive on a bench or puts it into a rubbish bin
for the second guy to pick it up,the whole idea made me smile
