The amount of news on hacking, money laundering, drug trafficking and others that involve cryptocurrency or bitcoin seems to never run out. has become a natural law there are always two sides to this life. There is a right there left, there is a good one that is bad. so also in the world of crypto, bitcoin and others. But we must agree together that all return to their own people, want to use it all for good or evil. So there is no side of crime in bitcoin, because bitcoin is just a tool used. The evil is the human mind that directs it.

Oh wow pretty such great expectations for good and bad, all things or kind or people have a good and bad Because nothing perfect in this world.
Bitcoin is good but people against bitcoin they create bad news to blame people about negaitve side of bitcoin as currency.

I do not want to say anything bad about cryptocurrency, but I must admit the fact that there are sufficiently large opportunities for abuse of cryptocurrency. For intruders, cryptocurrency provides very good opportunities for anonymity and the inability to track their name and cash flow. Perhaps this is why you need to work on increasing control over cryptocurrency.

Correct! Its a ridiculous idea to single out Bitcoin being used for illegal activities and this don't make an exception on fiat money being used for same purposes yet no one bothers to blame it or even find concrete solutions! A good analogy for this is the hammer which could be used to build a house or destroy it and I guess it all depends on the intent of its users so we can say that the problem is not the hammer but it is how we use it and in what way it is supposed to be used according to its intended and novel purpose.

Bitcoin was never a bad thing, it becomes bad to the eye of other people because of the people who uses it for bad and illegal things. Bitcoin was never made with the purpose of something bad. Some are just abusing what bitcoin can do. Just like money, money was made with a good intention yet bad guys are using it for crimes and illegal activities. It was all human. Humans are the one controlling everything, and it's up to them on how they are going to use it.

Nothing lasts forever

What you have described is most appropriate but I would like to add that the concern here is using the right tool for the wrong purpose.
Bitcoin was created to eliminate the man in the middle for performing transactions/payments but hackers and criminals used it for the wrong purpose.
We can't actually do anything about it other than regualting it but then what's purpose of destroying bitcoin's true motive.

Yes. I remembered one local news who made a wrong statement about an investment scam.
The tool used was also bitcoin.
But thanks to social media, the news facebook page had been poured with bashing and different kind madness by bitcoin supporters.
The next day, they corrected it.

It will never stop, we are against something really big and they can make it happen. Also, there is still a larger percentage who doesnt understand what bitcoin really is.

The question here is why are people using bitcoin for illegal activities? Because they know they can launder money with it and they cannot be trace due to lack of regulation, so the answer here is to regulate the crypto market, those exchanges should be strictly monitored and exchanges has to require KYC to their clients so customers can be trace in case they will make an illegal activities with their bitcoin.

you are right, bitcoin is just a tool as well as paper money, we cannot blame it unilaterally, it all depends on the holder of the tool itself. if used wisely, of course it will be very useful and vice versa.

Not only Bitcoin is just a tool, but there's no other tool that will be magically free from crime. Like people usually say, all kinds of money are used for bad things. But it's not just that. Let's take a look at people with power on both sides. With fiat, let's take the banks, processing pretty much everything and having a lot they can do with the money of people who gave it to them. Since Bitcoin doesn't have banks, let's take wallet providers and exchanges. Banks sometimes go bankrupt, leaving the users with their hand empty. It's not happening often, though. Banks get robbed, just like exchanges. Exchanges might engage in financial crimes like tax evasion, for instance, but banks are bigger money launderers than exchanges/individuals that use cryptos. It's just that the media is often biassed, trying to hide the shocking news with banks and emphasize similar things with cryptos. I bet the banks even pay them to do so in some cases.

And it is not only that

When a plane crashes and dozens of people get killed, it instantly makes the headlines. But virtually no one gives a fuck about many thousands dying everyday in car wrecks because this is not a news, let alone a sensation. It is the same with Bitcoin. When some bastard uses Bitcoin for something like drugs, human trafficking, or whatever, everyone is quick on the trigger. And then again, no one blames US dollars for being used in exactly the same way (and in many other dirty ways) but on a scale by far exceeding illegal operations with cryptocurrencies

Agreed, human minds were the one that makes anything good or bad. If the mind agonize for good, even the bad things can be used in the right way. When it comes to bitcoin, people who want to say something negative about it will start from the illegal usage of bitcoin and the one who needs to mark good thing about the same will start from the technology advancement. Hope things will change as people realize the good about the tool.

Therefore, it is impossible to blame any currency for the fact that it is used to make illegal transactions, only a person is guilty of this

Bitcoin as an asset is not bad or Blockchain as a technology is not bad but on the contrary, the destructive minds of the people make it abusive. As a society, it's our responsibility to use it in an appropriate manner.

100% Correct. We have seen how one of the biggest Ponzi schemes started to use Bitcoin as a payment option and how that gave Bitcoin a bad name. Previously all kinds of payment options were used to fund these Ponzi schemes and the media did not blame the Banks or the credit card companies for this, but now that Bitcoin is used for the payment method, it is labeled as the culprit. Shocked

Bitcoin is a currency and economic crimes needs a currency to commit their crimes, so they use Bitcoin as a tool to commit these crimes. Is Bitcoin a better tool for these crimes.... well that is open for debate. Wink

People will see what they wanted to see and not the truth itself. Bitcoin crimes are just an isolated case like of those other scams which involved a lot of money. Robing a bank, human trafficking, steeling things etc. There are always two sides of story. A man robing a bank, an agency who sells women as prostitues, and a women who stole a hundred dollar worth of jewelry. If people wanted to see only these, they will not be interested on the other side which are a man deposited to a charity, an agency who helps people to get a job abroad for free or a women who returned the lost purse to a man. Bitcoin involves a lot of money and its upto you if you only want to see is its flaws rather than people who already becomes financially stable with it.

Yeah, and now the government wants to regulate bitcoin because of those such crimes recently happen through bitcoin and we may consider as a tool they use but the fact is they cant regulate this tool. There are too many factors may affect if bitcoin is regulated, either may cause corruption. Even fiat can use as a tool to do illegal activities or those having a high value like gold can use also not the only cryptocurrency, we can't avoid those crimes. Being a human who uses a tool we must be careful on every transaction had especially on internet that prone to hacking and scam.

Everything that has a value is a tool, like money, but you can blame it to the tool and bitcoin is a good tool for people to be anonymous that's why the government is keeping an eye on it and putting all the regulations as possible to minimize the risk of illegal activities such as money laundering.
