Define illegal activity first if you know anything at all?
Things that are legal in many countries are illegal on many others, you can't have a constant illegal unless international laws applied.
Topic: Is USD being used for illegal activities? - page 26. (Read 20141 times)
All money ever will be used for illegal activities, because if something cannot be used to buy something illegal then it does not meet the definition of money as Andreas said. If you can't buy drugs with it then it's monopoly money and not real money with real value, is that simple. So USD, all fiats and BTC are real money.
yes that is a fact that every every currency can be use for illegal activities, and so USD can also be, as USD is the most popular and dominant currency of the world therefore it can be use for illegal activities more than any other currency. The United States Dollar is the no.1 currency of choice for criminals, pedophiles, drug smugglers, money launderers.etc. Actually this is surprising, as the highest USD denomination ($100 banknote) is worth much less than the highest denomination banknotes of Swiss Franc and Euro (CHF 1,000 and €500 banknotes respectively).
This can hardly be surprising since the amount of $100 notes in circulation by far exceeds that of ₣1,000 and €500 banknotes. The scarceness of the latter two explains while criminals might prefer to stick to the US dollar notes. Anyways, the European Central Bank has declared that it is going to phase out the €500 note by the end of 2018.
usd in great demand all over the world as an they investment of course very easy to get usd wherever you are, for illegal activities yes there are but not only usd, all currencies are certainly there used for illegal activity.

yes it is right that USD is really number one currency of the world. and it is also a fact that USD may also be used for illegal activities, and i think every currency of the world will be use for both good and bad activities and it is the duty of the law and force to control these unwanted activities. All money all Currencies that are invovled from the internet are uses for illegal Activities and they can have more money doing things illegal things if you can see the govements and other peolle normal people are doing illegal activities
I disagree with all the money involved in the internet? What do you mean by it? Anyways, all the money, all the currencies can be used for illegal activities by the people who wants to be rich. Bitcoin is not that popular to other people, to other country, and to other age group. They have mastered the art of changing profiles, bank accounts, and other transactions. Maybe if they will be able to know more about bitcoins then it would be heaven for them. I know that there were people who are already uses bitcoin on illegal transactions but not all knew about it.

I agree that all currency or mode of payment is used in illegal activity no matter what is their form. That is normal since there is illegal goods need to be transacted, so any currency may do just to be able to move the transaction.
It is used but not as often as bitcoin
yeah you're right because dollar currency is what's generally used and it's going to be very easy for governments to monitor it's movements. also petty illegal activities I think are not all aware of other currencies yet
Are you two just born yesterday? The larger the area that uses a currency, the more possibility it is used in illegal activity, theft, swindling or whatever stuff that is not legal.
I think all currency has been used for illegal activity not just USD. So theres no reason for others to blame crypto that is being used for illegal activity because even fiat is being used.
i am agree, because in many country, there are many illegal activity using money and there are no clue how much they using this money to illegal activity. and if there are a way for crypto to being involve with illegal activity then its normal. but we should not make any illegal activity.

I see more and more articles of the USD being used for illegal activities, such as funding of terrorists and unconstitutional, illegal wars, funding of wars that cause severe infringement of civil liberties like the war on drugs, among other things. I am pretty sure that when goons smash into convenience stores and steal stuff, then the money they probably steal is USD, which makes it criminal currency. Also, I am pretty sure that the baseball bats that majority of the goons have bought were paid for by the USD.
Also, most people collect rain water, drink raw milk, and throw cannabis seeds in soil, all three acts which are considered serious illegal felonies punishable by seriously expensive fines and extensive jail time, possibly life in prison.
Some people also walk, drive, fish, or hunt without a permit that can easily be bought for in USD.
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?

Any currency are been used to any illegal activities aslong it is not fake and acceptable by any banks, and if you travel in different countries well you can see really that they are using their currency to buy those illegaly forbidden by the law. And thats the reason why my conclusion is this since currencies are powerfull and it can make the good to be worst.
Correct, everything that can be paid or buy with money could be possibly used in any way its either legal or illegal activities. I agree with you people would tend to do illegal things because they could able to make more money with it. Any fiat currency would do as long it has a value. It would surely be used on illegal things
As generally spoken all currency,processor or even commodities are been used for those illegal activites since that is the one who's been used by the fellow bad people to manipulate so they can earn for thereselves, and aslong as things have current value it could be prone to be used by those oppurtunist to used it for their illegal scheme, and actually we can see illegal people using different currency/processor to make theirselves unknown.
Every fiat currency, precious metal, valuable items, Bitcoin, drugs, etc, can be, and are being used for illegal things. Illegal activities are not tied to one of them. It's a combination of all these options, where some times (depending on what needs to be done) one of them might be better (more convenient) than the other.

Off course also us dollars are used for illegal activities and not only the doillar is used for that bad things also other currencys are also used for illegal activities off course you cant help that.
And that is not just USD being used for illegal activities but as well as bitcoins, alt coins and our local currencies. As long as there is money involved.
Criminals are going to do something for making it related to their illegal activities to cover up their payments and I know gold and silver does.
So anything that has value they will going to include that to their illegal activity.
This is like asking if criminals like getting paid and having their identity hidden at the same time. Well, of course. Any acceptable form of money will be used as a payment in illegal activities. Bitcoin actually have a reputation that it is being used in the darkNet and a lot of people have that on their minds for a while now. Sadly, most people only thinks of this fact and nothing else about Bitcoin.
Definitely fiat and crypto currencies have been used to fund illegal activities. Hence the government's negative reaction towards Bitcoin, where payments are deemed to be anonymous and untraceable.
In my view, governments are not so much concerned with cryptocurrencies being used to fund illegal activities as worried about ordinary people starting to use Bitcoin instead of their own money. Governments and mafias in many countries are closely intertwined, and Bitcoin threatens their monopoly over money. Methinks, that's the main cause of negativity toward Bitcoin from the authorities. Illegal activities using cryptocurrencies are negligible versus what is done with government money.
i think it's very possible, teroris have highest technology to mixing his money at bank without any trail, and untraceble.
i think people can buy anything use usd, the illegal activity with usd is very possible
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?
goverment must ban any illegal activity, he must freeze the bank account of terorism
That is true what you have said now. Terrorists have high technologies to now and some hackers also work on them. I think they even can use bitcoin for their businesses, cause of governments don't control bitcoin and don't see some big transactions in this crypto currency. i think people can buy anything use usd, the illegal activity with usd is very possible
