To avoid all the government's paper works and bureaucracy dramas? paying an extra incentive to the lazy a*s government's employees to work faster than usual? sure why not but to take advantage significantly that could have harmful or uncalled for consequences, then no.
I think bribery is not directly involved with everyone.

Is evading tax via bitcoin a good idea?

In any matter bribing is a bad idea. In anything that you will do that cause someone felt lose or in anything that you get someone things without permission is a wrong doing. In bitcon even if it is anonymous still its not a good thing to do. Thus, think it twice or more before you take an action.

Anything that has to do with bribing is not a good idea at all, be it by way of bitcoin or some other favors that you are willing to do just so you could get a deal done.  But we have to face the fact of life that a lot of under the table negotiations take place, especially in government related projects. Bitcoin might be an instrument that’s comes in handy for those who want their transactions to be untraceable.

If by untraceable you mean it could be traced by a half-witted monkey with Internet access then yes. Completely untraceable. Here's a good lesson to learn: bitcoins aren't anonymous. Even handing over a flash drive so it's an off-chain transaction it can be traced. So your argument literally is the exact opposite of what bitcoins really are.

I would say its not a good idea because literally its a crime if commited, and you are putting a persons financial future into failure situation. Emotional problem will result to a person that is being victimized by those who bribe using bitcoin and all the lies behind is unrighteous. If you happened to bribed by someone please report this to authorities so that they will be given sanctions by law and desciplinary actions will be imposed.

Bribing is illegal, but if you plan to bribe someone bitcoin is a good idea, almost untraceable. In any case this is delicate situation, this person need to be careful with cashing out, any income needs to be explained, but that is same like any other currency, I don't see bitcoin as exception here. And for this bribed person need to know for bitcoin, imagine you wish to bribe a cop and you give him usb stick with couple bitcoins and he tell you what the fuck is this!

well it is a bit dilemma if you want to bribe someone using bitcoin, if you are using bitcoin then you need to make sure that person knows bitcoin and when you do bitcoin transaction there are no proof that you are giving the money, so it is good to cover your step, but in other hand using bitcoin in an illegal action can really hurt the bitcoin reputation, so I still think it is not a good idea

Bribing is about giving money to cover the wrong action that you have done, and it is really especially in the side of government officials that have cases like these, government officials, that inlcude s teachers and janitors, so if a janitor saw you killing someone and that janitor ( let's say he knew bitcoin and its price) was given bitcoin as a bribe to just forget what happened, he will accept it really. Everyone might do the same, you know, killing someones plants and animals hahahaha  Grin Cheesy

Bribery through bitcoin is a good idea, but, that will be confusing if you are giving up your USB stick to a person and that person don't know what are trying to do or trying to give you. Here in our place there are a lot of people who do not know bitcoin and there are only few people that I know or I can bribe with this currency.

It's a horrible idea on many levels, bribing is unethical in itself and doing it on a currency with a public ledger is not going to be best for bribing in the least. As people already know the best way to go ahead and bribe would have to be cash as their is little evidence that could be found relating to the bribe unless their is camera evidence.

For me its not the best thing if you want to bribe someone. Plus bribing is illegal and criminal act in nature so once you are caught you will be jailed for your crime.

In some countries bribing is actually needed to get things done, sad to say but it's something that MUST occur for your business / personal life to survive. Bribing is accepted and used in these countries which was put forward by the Huffington Post - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/bribery-business-countries-most-likely_n_1071452.html This could be an opinion piece but still, it's worth the read.
Sure, it's on a public ledger, but if the Bitcoins aren't tied to you and the other party in any way, that shouldn't be a problem.
That said, it's illegal, but on the other hand, like you said, sometimes there's no way around it to get things done in certain countries.

In some cases it could even be needed to get bogus charges removed when you're travelling. Thinking about India for example...

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.


At first, I don't address the moral and criminal part of doing something like that but I claim only that bitcoin is the worst case scenario for this 'job'. Initially you need one who will accept the usb flash drive to be a 'hard' tech-savvy user. Furthermore, you have to somehow give him the private keys or the seed. Finally, if you believe that using bitcoin will prevent your anonymity and cover your tracks because you think that bitcoin is an anonymous and untraceable way for illegal activities then you will have to reconsider your decision because bitcoin has nothing of these features. So, if you insist to go, then cash i.e fiat or another crypto currency like as monero or zcash.

It is not a good idea, it is the best. You do not even have to use a usb, a piece of paper with private keys will do. No one will expect a scrap paper with random numbers and letters would amount to anything, right?

I guess it's not a good idea. it just makes bitcoin rated as a tool that is always used for evil. even using other currencies. well, I just felt that the bribe was not the right decision.
