Topic: Is owning bitcoin a crime? - page 10. (Read 1984 times)
Having Bitcoin can not be compared to having different types of weapons but possessing weapons can still be held legally in effect for self-protection. Bitcoin is harmless to us all and can not harm. So anyone thinks it is not illegal. Thanks

It could ba a crime if the government in your country don't allow cryptocurrency such as bitcoin. And alao their are no laws regarding crypto currencies which are some people basis to consider it to be legal. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/

Of course no, owning bitcoin is not a crime. It just helps you to become stable in life but not at the point that you kill somebody. TO possess bitcoin from your efforts and hard work is a reward, not a crime. To posses bitcoin from buying or investing is not a crime as well. A gun can kill but bitcoin can not.
not a crime at least in my country, BTC is still and other crypto is still legal
It depends on the country where you belong too, those country that ban bitcoin and they obligate it means holding bitcoin means a crime but those country that don't ban bitcoin means you can hold Bitcoin as much as you can.
It depends on the human nature that exists in this world. Having a lot of money is not a crime. It all depends on how they are received and for what purpose they are directed. In some cases, bitcoin can be an instrument in the hands of criminals. But Average people use bitcoin for good faith.
I know what you mean, but that's not all. Bitcoin brings justice to all of us with blockchain technology but it is not perfect for other purposes. There is reason to understand and worry, but the bitcoin value is far more than that. Owning a bitcoin is not a crime.

That is very absurd. Why not include fiat as well? Paper money is already used in funding terrorism for decades but no one have blamed it. This is a very pathetic attempt just to discredit bitcoin.
I think no but it depends on your country if they accused bitcoin user as a criminal but for me if you are a bitcoin user probably it is not a crime... As long you are working legal why not having it... Bitcoin is accused as a crime because it is not legal in your government... It is not a scam nor crime it depends on the user but we cant take the fact that some people used it in illegal way that's why bitcoin has a negative impact in other countries... Just try it... The experience you will get here better and great....
When the virtual currency has transformed into an increasingly popular new investment instrument, it becomes the door of opportunity for hackers and cybercriminals to exploit it. the hackers began to search for users of bitcoin through their swallow wallets.
This is all ridiculous, the government has tried many times to destroy bitcoin, but the maximum they have achieved is the price drop for several months.
For me having bitcoin is not a crime, bitcoin is one of the most important assets for my life because bitcoin is difficult to obtain.

It might be a crime if and only if your government do not allow such cryptocurrency. But for me, having a bitcoin is not a crime for it is a legal and not violating a law of land. Maybe some country banned it but I guess because of its unstable price. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/

wrong thinking in investing with bitcoin, because we also know bitcoin can be accessed by anyone and anywhere if the intentions and goals of bad investors the results are bad too if I think http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/
If owning BTC is a Crime, maybe there are many people which arrested for having BTC. People which abuse Bitcoin for illegal activities which should have been captured. So, don't worry about that. 
Owning bitcoin would only be a crime if you got it from illegal activities/doings. But owning bitcoin alone and buying it as an investment is not a crime but rather an asset/investment. Bitcoin is not really accepted in other countries, this is one of the reasons why they think it is illegal. Also their are no laws regarding crypto currencies which are some people basis to consider it to be legal.
It depend on the country. For example, in Russia owning bitcoin is not a crime, but if you try to pay in bitcoins this is a serious crime. If you change BTC for fiat and do not pay taxes - this is a crime.
that's true...in some countries the goverment really made a rules that owning bitcoin is ilegal and punishable by prison sentence...but there are only 2-3 countries in this world
Owning bitcoin is definitely not a crime. If you are using bitcoin in good conduct, like just for some investments and paying your transactionsonline then we cannot say that it of illegal acts. But if you are using bitcoin to take advantage of the people like those money laundering, scam and such things then you are committing criminal offense that is punishable by law.
