Topic: Is owning bitcoin a crime? - page 12. (Read 2048 times)
No, I said that owns bitcoin it is not a crime. There are now many Governments do not accept bitcoin and prohibits using it because the Government does not control the finances of people and they fear bitcoin replaced the currency of the country, I believe that bitcoin is useful for everyone as it did for the life become richer, make people become richer and have substantial economic resources.
It depends on what countey you are residing. We all know that there arensome countries that ban bitcoin and maybe they arebnot tolerating to have your bitcoin. They might doing something to block it to the net. But if people are still into bitcoin they find ways to have it. But the bitcoin you have cant be encash in thay place,maybe you can use it in the other country or purchase sonething online that is accepting bitcoin. Theres also some issue in our place that one bank is holding the money earned from bitcoin, i am not sure why they are doing it, i just read it to the topic posted my countrymen.

I am just reading that article and its just for darkweb. I am believe if we own bitcoin its like we own our other thing and there is no illegal activities on it. Bitcoin in many country already accepted as payment or investment instrument and thats mean bitcoin is legal
Owning bitcoin is not a crime. If you do something illegal with bitcoin, it will constitute a crime.
But some countries ban bitcoin because it is a decentralized currency and the government does not welcome it.

Yeah, because like money in general bitcoin is not a crime but is often used by certain parties to do evil things. But what I did not think, why the state always use reason bitcoin ilegal cause being used for unlawful activities. On the other hand, I think the government just does not want to lose if bitcoin legality in their country. Because the government can not get benefit with bitcoin legally in their country such as tax collection. Thank you.
No. It's not a crime if you are only holding bitcoin. And I don't think any country know bitcoin holders as criminals.
You can also trade to earn more money. You can also buy or sell things where paying with bitcoin is possible. But bitcoin is useful for some crimes and there are many stories about this. As long as you have not done anything illegal, you are not a criminal.

it all depends on the holder. paper money can also be a crime. if we hold bitcoin for the long term and just to wait for a big profit, it's not crime at all.

Although bitcoin is helping the terrorist organizations to grow stronger than ever, we are just traders and forever merchants. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/
If the government arrests us, we can issue daily trading evidence to them and there are not a large number of daily arms purchases. You can see the transaction volume of bitcoin is $ 7 billion per day, which accounts for most of the money spent trading illegal weapons daily.
But you should not worry too much about the future of bitcoins, because no one can kill it.

Why consider it as a crime if that thing helps people to grow and his community? Having a bitcoin is not crime for it is between legal and illegal yet a lot of people are using it because it helps them in many ways especially, financially.
Do you think that someone use Bitcoin for illegal activities will make Bitcoin Bad? I think nope. it depends on the user. If you want to use Bitcoin for illegal activities, of course owning Bitcoin is crime.

i dont think so but on the other hand it depend from where you get that bitcoin, if you get that Bitcoin from sell drugs, gun or something like that restricted ofcourse that was a crime you involved with that transaction.so i dont trust that articles cz this is all one media company to discredit bitcoin. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/
I have yet to hear a single news that a specific country has implemented a law that goes as far as declaring anyone who owns a Bitcoin a criminal. I think that is way too high above the line. That is absurd as it is whimsical. There are countries who consider Bitcoin illegal but this does not mean that those who have some are criminals. It simply means that Bitcoin cannot be used as a currency by legally registered businesses.

Bitcoin ownership is not crime. It does not harm anyone.There may be country that does not allow bitcoin.It is not a crime until the government make and intent any law to prohivite to own and hold a bitcoin like in other asian country.I think this will be stay legal until this will not be use as a accessories or instruments in a illegal transactions that will result to a crime.

I think it depends on their country you are residing in. If you are in a country where bitcoin is banned, then it is illegal to possess one and the same with countries which does not banned bitcoin then it is OK to have one. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/

Obviously, no! Why do you even assume that kind of thing? You are even a citizen in this forum. Having bitcoin is not a crime because there is no authority telling it is illegal but it depends on the country you earn it or the country you are living. If the country you are in is where bitcoin is banned, then definitely you must not have any. Vice versa. But internationally, bitcoin is legal and it is not a crime owning one. http://bitcoinnews.com/cryptocurrencies-gun-crime-canada/
In my country, Indonesia it is not a crime to own or hold bitcoin.people can buy or invest in bitcoin.Also we can join bitcoin related projects to get extra money. The central bank only declared that bitcoin was not a legal payment instrument and can not be used to buy and pay something. All users involve in it will be responsible themselves upon any risk that may incurred.It is still in a grey area and unclear status.
Owning BTC cannot be compared to owning a weapon, and guns can still be legally held for self protection. BTC isn't harmful to anyone and cant kill either, so holding it isn't as illegal
It's definitely not a crime unless and until your own country imposes a law against it. But bitcoin on its own cannot be considered illegal. Some say it is used for illegal purchases. But even fiat money can.be used.for illegal purposes. Meaning that bitcoin is not illegal but the abuse of it.
