Bitcoin is just like money. I don't think holding money is a crime plus bitcoin has nothing to do with arms or drugs dealers. People been paying for illegal things since ages with fiat before even bitcoin existed. Although some countries considers it a crime and I don't know why.

It all depends on how you use it. Same as with a gun. It can be used to defend oneself or to give up someone. BTC is the future. Will you stop using money because they are also used for bad things?

As far as you didnt use it to buy illegal things it wont be a crime,owning a bitcoin is a privilege not a crime unless you did something wrong which oppose the constitutional law in your county.Most of the people are misinformed that is why bitcoin's image in most of the country has been restricted because people use it to scam others.

Owning a BTC is not a crime unless you had owned it by doing crimes.

It depends on the human nature that exists in this world if they have bad bitcoin means they do not have a good future, but the average bitcoin user in the world is average either used for human cost or doing a positive thing.

My opinion for this matter is always the same. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency itself is not a crime. This innovation only aims to help people out. From being a payment method or an asset for investment, bitcoin never meant any harm or cause any another crimes for the record. With or without bitcoin, this world has people with bad intention, so I think it is not fair to blame it.

well i think owning bitcoin is really not a crime. This technolgy has a mission and vision that helps people to make the easiest and fastest way in doing transaction and it's really help for the financial stability of people. It has a good cause whilw entering to the market and bitcoin is an investment and we can gain a lot of profit on it without hurting others. Maybe others are some people around that think bitcoin is a crime because of its simple way to earn a huge amount of profit

I do not think that. That's a one-sided comparison. The blockchain technology provides the characteristics and breakthroughs that make people fair, giving people the opportunity to earn money and address the growing unemployment in the world. Of course, there is reason to believe that possession of bitcoin is a crime. in terms of security and politics. But in terms of social and economic. Bitcoin brings the difference to the community and the people.

I don't think so, at least ts not from where I'm from. Even if it was I would probably still hold my Bitcoins, as it is decentralized and anonymous, the government can never know what I'm doing. I also cant really see it as a crime if its used just for a profitable service, if its used for illegal stuff, obviously yes, but by the way I'm using it its definitely not.

Owning bitcoin is not a crime, at least here in my country. Here, many people that are integrated to cryptocurrency have started doing signature campigns and now investing or trading. From the looks of it, these things are not a crime but now a career that supplies finance to support many households.
I don't know how other people are treating bitcoin for those countries that does not allow bitcoin, or that it is illegal to them, felt so sad for them as they are not enjoying the benefit of having a cryptocurrency, so for me, what matters for me right now is that I do have this kind of opportunity here in our country where in we are allowed and will never accused crime for having it.

I don't think that bitcoin is the root of crimes that just seems to pop out nowhere. May be it is just a propaganda to ruin the image of crryptocurrency. And there is a lot difference between correlation and causation so may be we should try to look deeper than what it is the top of the ice berg.

Owning or holding bitcoin in itself is not a crime just as you won money. Whatever you do with your money or Bitcoin tells your legality status. Trading bitcoin for hard drugs makes the act illegal but not Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin is just like any currency serving as a medium of exchange between parties involved.

Different countries/places means they have different people, different governments, different views and different ways to react from a social issue. Cryptocurrency happens to have fans, critiques, and haters. So if your government decides to ban it yet you still want this career with crypto, then you should give it all by migrating to a more friendly country. And I also want to point out than bitcoin is money, not fire arms.

That means this forum is full of hardcore criminals. Because many bitcoin searchers here and many also have bitcoin in this forum. It's a strange thing to have a bitcoin criminal. Although some people use bitcoin for bad purposes and it can be said that's why bitcoin is used by criminals.

NO, this is definitely not a crime.bitcoin is not a crime if you only use it for legal purposes. I do not believe we humans always make a way to make things worst. Having bitcoin is not a crime and bitcoin is not criminal and actually bitcoin can be helpful for those who use it and make life better because it can help in economy and finance. I disagree with them which has bitcoin in say crime There is no law stating that obtaining and having bitcoin is a crime.

I do not think it's a crime to have bitcoin. Because to have a bitcoin we just have to spend money or effort. So it has bitcoin like having a personal property, which should instead be protected by the rules.
