Yes, we have recently been caught up in reports that it is being used by Illegal Routes, especially if drug dealers are beginning to use Bitcoin by fraudsters or offshore companies seeking to raise money.So be careful that we can contribute to something that does not know who does what.
Usd is not make illegal activities because in this activities the usd make a money to the member of this forum ..so the usd here is useful to the member..
USD and all the other currencies and every assets can be used for illegal activities, when there are humans in a thing, everything can be used for illegal activities and it won`t change
Any currency can be used for illegal activities. Why the dollar is the most popular currency for these purposes?
because dollar is the most common currency in the world.
In general, bitcoin has more prospects for use in this area, because of anonymity
Exactly, that is why we should not get surprised if in the future becomes the number one currency of the world then bitcoin is going to be used not only by good people but by bad people as well and to be honest there is nothing we are going to be able to do about it.because dollar is the most common currency in the world.

I think USD is really hard to using for the illegal activities because the transaction could be easily spotted and crinimals will be busted. That's why they're using Bitcoin instead.
Yes but it must be offline to prevent tracking from the securities such as the FBI. They can also convert it to bitcoin to shop illegal stuffs online and bypass internet security.
How will you carry your cash in the airplane? Unless you know someone who can do a magic for you,I'm sure you can't if you are the one who will carry the money in your bag.
Both are traceable, only that some has connection and some can find a flaw on the law so they could move and use money in crooks way.

USD and bitcoin can be use for illegal activities, they have values and it's money actually. The government will continue to their war against illegal activities so if you are doing such, then for sure you time will come that you will get caught.
We cannot control everyone, there are really people who makes money in illegal activities so I think they will only stop once they are jailed.

LOL. USD is used for illegal activities all the time, right at the start when it was born. There are a lot of activities like drug trafficking, money laundering, tax eavsion,.........All these illegal activities are related to US dollar. Before Bitcoin was born, USD is the main currency was used to do these guilty but for now crime prefer to use Bitcoin to USD cause make a deal with Bitcoin is much safer than USD cause the seller and buyer no need to meet to make the deal like before.
The dollar's use for illegal activities is not a dollar issue, but the dollar is actually a very strong currency, and it's being used by everyone. It does not make sense for innocent people to use dollars in guilty. You can drink milk with a sample glass, and you can also drink alcohol with the same glass. This does not mean that the glass is a bad thing.
? It is very funny! 
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?
The sad truth is yes. It is really true that USD is commonly or mostly used to avail and purchase drug paraphernalia and other illegal things since USD has been the international basis or currency used in the different markets in the whole word. But it is not merely intended that because of this, USD was made for these activities. It just happened that people tend to use this currency because it is the most common type of currency that people tend to use rather than other types of currency that was existing in the world. 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.

Yes for sure. Why i am pretty sure? Because usd is international currency and it is accepted everywhere in any country so usd have more chance being used in crime and illegal activity such as terrorist.
The reason why USD is widely considered as the currency mostly used for illegal activities is because its the international currency worldwide for businesses and the like. Not only USD, there are other currencies circulating in the world that is also being used to funds the mentioned activities. If this can cause more threat to USD being eradicated, then I doubt it will. Dollars existed way back than any money out there, and was been long used for any transactions. There are regulations and policies to which it prohibits money (USD) being used for such, like Anti Money Laundering Act.

Any currency can be used for illegal activities and crimes but USD is being exploited because it is generally accepted by other countries around the world. Banning it by other countries would not do any good because there are other currencies that can be used for such activities.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.

For me it has a possibility that USD can be used up for illegal activities. Because such as terrorist create and use this money on anything they wanted. Unless, someone can detect and stop this bad activity.
In fact all currency in the world was used in different criminal activities, maybe USD is included in this some illegal transactions. Even bitcoin have a risks and there's a possibility that in the future, bitcoin value was used by the terrorist to buy some items that they used in war. Because if we analyze all terrorist are a lot of connection in different part of the world.Every thing is possible in this World.I agree this blindly.Because with the fact I had seen,I had come to this conclusion.So,it's possible to make use of dollar in Illegal activity.Why not dollars? Even a Bitcoin is possible.
However, a time will come when using bitcoin for the dark market will start getting hard unless they have a regular supply from someone anyway without making use of the exchanges.
My question is "how did they bought illegal firearms, illegal drugs, and other illegal services before bitcoin or digital currencies even exist?" The fact is, millions of illicit activities in the past be it successful or failure has something to do with fiat in exchange of good or services.
In every illegal activities its involved money financing. Not only USD but also other kinds of money from different country' s but mostly USD is higher value compare to other money in different places or country's. Thats why we can say that USD is used by people to illegal activities not only in country's using dollars but nationwide.
