Owning a bitcoin is just like holding a money. Only that the difference is money is not digital unlike bitcoin . So pessessing it is not a crime.Just make sure your also using it in good things or not to use it for scamming other people. And  if its regulated in your country that bitcoin is not allowed so,  thats when crime exist.

Owning bitcoin is not a crime because bitcoin is not the equipment for crime.  Bitcoin is digital money.  So nothing to do with evil.

This is as if saying ownig money is also a crime. Firstly what is Bitcoin? Bitcoin helps us earn money therefore if it is a crime then everyone who are earning money are criminals? Committing crime? This is idk... insane?

Is owning bitcoin a crime ?, is owning coin a crime ?, is owning money a crime ?,I do not think so, basically bitcoin is a medium of exchange as well as the definition of money in some countries there are legitimate, there are countries that do not legalize, there are also countries that have not yet legalized but can be used bitcoin as one of the means of exchange.
   in the article or news bitcoin only seen from the negative side only while the positive side is not seen. all countries will receive bitcoin because many things are profitable only time can answer and I believe owning bitcoin is not a crime because I'm not doing anything crime from bitcoin.

That's where the problem is. Even we can't deny the fact that crypto currency is an ideal medium of payment for such illegal trades. That's where the gap exists. Neither the Canadian government nor this article mentioned that owning crypto currency is illegal in Canada. It's the usage of crypto currency to facilitate such illegal trades through dark web

Depends and may be illegal, Especially in countries banned the use of bitcoins. There is a law that each country should follow as it is in the Philippines must know the government how much we hold bitcoins so we can pay a tax. But some of us do not say it because they find it difficult to find out if we have really hidden bitcoins

For me its not, but due to the fact that Bitcoin is a very expensive cryptocurrency I guess you are puting the gun unti yourself specially if you let other people know that you are having Bitcoin, not being selfish but be practical and secure that people will attack you whenever they have the chance.

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
the punishment of having btc is not to be disputed in law like possessing a weapon, btc can instead serve as an economic auxiliary not like a weapon used for a crime.

No it is not a crime because bitcoins is onli illegal in some country like china and i do not think the other countrybthat bans bitcoins but i know there is. And pretty much allost all the other country aside from them is lagalize bitcoins and do not care about bitcoins at all so you can use it if you can because there are some country who si legal in it but do jot any retailers that accepts it as a mode of payment. Do not be afraid to hold bitcoins if you know that it is legal here in your country be afraid if you live in china area

Holding Bitcoin isn't a crime at all. Simply, we can consider bitcoin as a means of payment in itself. In this case, there is no difference between bitcoin and fiat money. Some countries are still banning bitcoin as a way of making transactions because they have not taken regulative steps towards it yet. However, using bitcoin in line with other altcoins will become a matter of fact.





I agree, that such a thing is not a crime because the crime is very harmful to all people, we better believe and believe that bitcoin is not a crime

I never hear anything about holding bitcoin is a crime, the community is very prestigious by holding bitcoin. They will feel joy by holding more than 1 bitcoin, it will be very prestigious for holding bitcoin and it is not crime.

I do not think so, because bitcoin or cryptocurrency are goods that can be used for investment. people in general might also think so.

It depends on the person holding the bitcoin. Will he use it in illegal or legal transactions. But I am sure that bitcoin must carry a peaceful mission. And most people have good intentions.

How can holding a bitcoin will be crime? having a account or holding a bitcoin is not a crime because bitcoin serves as a job to those unemployed and a students, many people around the people thinks bitcoin as a tool to help them in finnancially. Bitcoin is not illegal if bitcoin is illegal there is many people in jail or goung to jail right now if it is illegal. Holding a bitcoin is not illegal.

Lol, what kind of a retarded question is this. Do you know that people use cash to buy drugs in the real world. Now is having cash a crime? I don't think so. So stop with these stupid questions. Every thing has a good and bad use and you should focus on the good features of bitcoin instead of the negative ones.
