It seems to me that this is a deliberate provocation against bitcoin. Those who say that it is used for money laundering forget to say that the dollars for this purpose, use more often.

I stand with Ukraine.
There are a lot of posts in this thread saying that Bitcoin is being used for illegal activities because it provides anonymity, but in fact if you are not paying with Credit Card and use some other precautions cash provides you more anonymity than Bitcoin does. So yes, USD being used and will always be used for illegal activities, like any other cash.

And I agree that the journalists emphasizing that Bitcoin is being used for illegal activities are just showing their incompetence.

The dollar is used for criminal activities because the dollar is an internationnal currency wich everyone use to sell/Trade ect internationnally. So yep the dollar is part of this crimminal activity, but it's surely not the only one.... and can't be blamed for this either...
is not only the dollar but all currencies fiat. I think all currency it is used for illegal activities.. see every country must have the mafia ?
All of the fiat or even the cryptocurrency are being used or can be used in doing illegal activities because they are money and money can be use everywhere and especially in bitcoin because of its anonymity feature then it is being abused by the criminals and using it as another layer of their security and that is how the image of bitcoin is getting worse just because of the criminals.

Will this hurt USD in the long run? Will governments ban this just like they started to do with paying in cash for some services to harden the use of illegal activities, and money laundering?

I think criminal activity will not hurt USD in the long run. It may even strengthen it as it creates demand for the currency. If governments find a way to curb the use of their national currency in illegal activities, they will do it.

Once asked the question, what will be done with bitcoin, if there will be substitutions in criminal activity. So if the dollar is fine, then bitcoin will not suffer. But only the dollar is controlled at full capacity and there is no bitcoin.

The dollar is used for international criminal activity because it is lightweight, non metallic, fits in small places, and is accepted almost everywhere in the world. Fiat, no matter where it comes from, will always be the ultimate choice of criminals world over. Cash tells no tales, and there is no blockchain to stand evident. Once it's done, it's done.


The dollar. It's everywhere you want to be.™
Even if it’s not the dollar that’s being used, as long as it is something that has value, criminal and illegal activities are going to continue. Heck, even gold or other commodities can be used. All these for the love of money. These people are always going to find ways to keep their businesses going and with whatever resources they can get hold of, be it the dollar, bitcoin, and other sort of stuff that has value.

It doesn't matter currency form to do such activities. I believe currency is just something which has value and rights to buy something of equal value/weightage. Currency no matter is USD or any other form it can buy those things it's just where are you standing on earth whether is it east side or west side of hemisphere. Each form of currency can be traded anywhere. One can buy things with euro or inr or usd in any country as there are hundreds of ways to do it. So in my opinion it is not the only which is illegal or does it only the one which we can put finger on  Smiley

Euro is more suitable than USD for illegal activities. Since there are 500euro papers which hold a lotmore value than 100$. To answer your question, of course it is being used for illegal activities. It doesn't make USD guilty. USD is the most common currency around the world, thw most liquid... That's why terrorists choose USD over everything else.
Crime originated from The mind of man and not currencies! Currencies either USD, GPB, Bitcoin and even eth are not the cause of Criminality but evil thoughts from the mind of men. Any currency are being used for illegal action, many are saying bitcoin is being used to fund terrorism because of it decentralized nature and op is now saying USD is being used for illegal activities.

Indeed true, saying currency as convict for crime is not justified.

It is not that person is doing crime with baseball bat because it is sold for USD. I live in India, me buying baseball ball with rupee will be justified? Cheesy
I don't think, currency will be affected in any way due to its illegal use till it is fiat currency of country. However, conservatives might try banning anonymous currencies like Bitcoin on the name of crime!  Undecided

Well it doesn't really matter what currency is being used. The dollar is pretty much the same as euro or yuan or whatever currency. Illegal activities are done internationally so i think its not that much exclusive to the dollar.

Yes it is very much possible, Actually, in all country this things was also happened to their place. but most of the time now bitcoin is being use to this type of illegal transaction, because maybe others know that bitcoin was not 100% anonymous, instead, bitcoin was pseudonymous. Though, bitcoin is not designed for illegal activities purposes.
It seems to me that you are mistaken. In order to use bitcoin in illegal activities you still have to exchange it into local currency. From now on, no privacy for the criminal no. So it seems to me that the stories of complete privacy online is a myth.
No, You might see some of the news if the bitcoin is used on the darknet. And I think if that will be linked to the illegal activities without the need to exchange your bitcoin into the local currency.

The bitcoin have some aspects are supporting the truth about the used by the dark marketplace. The anonymous is the key in this case.

You are wrong, there fore to show you how many users don’t know anything about the dark side of the bitcoin even though they use it every day, there is a part of the internet that normal people don’t use and can’t access via normal browsers and that is the dark net.

It is mostly used for all sort of illegal stuff, anything bad that you can think off is available for purchase there and what they use is not regular money, they use bitcoin so they can hide their tracks between the animality of the internet and the normal bitcoin transactions.

In fact, the US government can always track the illegal movement of dollars. I think that they do so. Gather dirt on the corrupt politicians and get them their desired solutions. To catch corrupt Americans is not profitable. First, it could undermine confidence in the dollar, the corrupt, and it is a very large amount, and secondly the money stolen in other countries and working for the us economy.
Oh yea, especially when they're paying in cash. People are using shell companies, laundering money through casino tokens. There are many ways to do it you can even pay a poor, homeless guy to make a bank account and give you the card, so that you can use an ATM to withdraw cash and disappear.
USD is being used for illegal stuff as we speak.

some people out there definitely use usd for illegal transactions. well, I think has a lot to do it. in fact, sometimes they also use bitcoin. but, I guess they will not be able to stop it, although their efforts did really great. because sometimes that they do in secret.
