Depends on what country you live in. Simply owning a bitcoin is not illegal, but using it to buy drugs and weapons will probably land you in prison. This is no different to fiat cash, depends on what you do with it. Owning a bitcoin makes you lucky!

"I invest and Doing Bounty Campaign"

Well bitcoin maybe a crime to other people that are sensitive when it comes to immoral things though we know that bitcoin is not an immoral investment but seeing to it how bitcoin works might other people that are sensitive to consider that it is a crime. Anyway bitcoin is good form of investment. Many people are happy being introduced by it and i think most of the investors are earning huge profit. And most of us do not think that bitcoin is a crime. How come it will be a crime when are taking so much advantage on it. This is one of a kind and unique of investment. Hopefully that many of the investors now will come to invest so as to let the bitcoin market price get higher.

Owning BTC isn't crime since it is only an advanced cash. Then again BTC can be use for carry out a crime. You can buy whatever you need absolutely anonymously. Nobody can follow from where BTC come and this is your cash. Until further notice for the most part nations permit to having BTC.

I don't think so. I own bitcoins but I don't deem it illegal to own bitcoins. Bitcoins will always be free and always be the best thing to own if you're investing in the digital currency. But I don't think bitcoins will ever be likened to guns and will be illegal to own.

Absolutely NO, bitcoin is one of the best investment now a days. It helps a lot to solve problems in this world. Your question is just like " Is owning money a crime?" In that case it will depend on where you use bitcoin, If you will use it with illegal things then it is somewhat bitcoin will have a negative image.

absolutely not, owning a bitcoin is definitely not a crime especially when you got your coin thru investment. though bitcoin is not accepted by most countries, i don't believe that owning one is illegal or even a crime. we gain bitcoins thru investment or as reward from participating in any bounty or thru trading which are not criminal activities.

How can holding a bitcoin considered a crime? Bitcoin is a digital currency and holding your own money can never be a crime. It is just an asset wherein you can gain profits from it. Some countries banned the usage of it but some countries made it legal. It really depends where you from.

No it is definitely not a crime. It is being used for illegal activies fine, we can't deny the fact that Bitcoins features and benefits are really great that even the bad people are utilizing it. Being used as a tool on an illegal activity doesn't make Bitcoin bad, more so all the other users or holder of Bitcoin because that is not the only reason or purpose of it. It has good purpose as well, so good that it has helped a lot of people to have a better financial life. It is not Bitcoin but the people using it, are the one responsible for the actions or activities they will do while utilizing and maximizing what Bitcoin has to ofer.

I think the possession of bitcoin is not a crime, bitcoin is a valuable asset to be used, owned and purchased. If you use bitcoin for criminal purposes like, money laundering, using bitcoin for terrorist purposes, that's a crime.

I think if bitcoin is used as a weapon in kanada it makes badco image worse because it is used for bad thing but if it is used for it I think bitcoin is not forbidden because bitcoin use to my knowledge is free to use for anything, if done for the crime in my opinion it depending on who uses it.

Not it is not as crime as pong as your country supports bitcoins because there are some country that banned bitcoins and i do not know why they banned it in their country. So if you are in that country i think that is in china and if you are in that country you will really gonna end up illegal. But uf you are living in a free country like america and japan they are pretty much accepting bitcoins with all of their hearts and the government are not afraid on the bitcoins.

If you are in my country, holding bitcoin is not illegal, but if you went to other countries like China which the government ban the bitcoin in their country so it is illegal to hold bitcoin, like gun it is depends on the rules and laws of the countries.

For me to have bitcoin is not a crime. Having bitcoin is a boon. Because bitcoin is an asset. We can not buy it if we do not have money. Probably some countries have banned, but the state can not imprison the bitcoin owner because it can not find the criminal element in possession of bitcoin.

of course not, bitcoin is created not for damaging or any bad purposes, the basic idea of bitcoin is still utilitarian, it is good because it gives good benefit, so there is no way to claim that owning bitcoin is a crime, but of course people can do harm on any object, like we always say blame the person not the gun, so no owning bitcoin is not equal with committing crime.

Depending on where you get Bitcoin, if you get if from selling drugs, weapons or something that is violated ofcourse is a crime you are involved with the transaction. But if you only use Bitcoin for you to make you rich it is not a crime. it is anonymous and many countries are somewhat limiting and do not want their public to interact with Bitcoin and other crypto streams directly, holding it will not be considered a crime.

Is owning money a crime? Because money facilitates the trading of such illegal things, too. If/when Bitcoin is regulated in your country of residence and you are obligated by law to declare any possession of Bitcoin but you haven't done so, then owning Bitcoin might be illegal.
