Title: Will Bitcoin go under FBI investgation
Post by: First77 on June 30, 2018, 02:48:48 AM
Bitcoin went from $1 to $10,000 in 9 years. Never been heard of.. and Bitcoin got $350,000,000,000.  ::)

HYIP cartel is most likely using Bitcoin for their 200% profit per month HYIP programs/ponzis.

Will FBI investigation come to Bitcoin ??

The FBI has been investigating Bitcoin transactions for years now. In fact I recently saw news about this again:

https://www.coindesk.com/fbi-agent-confirms-130-crypto-related-investigations/

Quote
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently running 130 different cryptocurrency-related investigations, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kyle Armstrong told the Crypto Evolved conference in New York that the agency is investigating a variety of crimes, including human trafficking, drug transactions, kidnapping and ransomware, which have a cryptocurrency component, according to Bloomberg.

Further, there has recently been an uptick in cases involving cryptocurrencies, he said, citing opioids as one area where the bureau needs to focus on. Roughly 10 percent of drug users worldwide purchase drugs online in illegal digital marketplaces.

Some parts of the U.S. have also seen an increase in extortion schemes, where the perpetrators wish to use cryptocurrencies.

That being said, these "threat-tagged" investigations only make up a "small sliver" of the thousands of  cases the agency has, he said.

And unlike crimes involving cash, Armstrong said the blockchain's immutability makes it easier to track transactions. On the flip side, cryptocurrencies' anonymity or pseudonymity make it more difficult to properly investigate a crime.

Avoiding ending up in trouble is really easy: Just don't buy anything illegal. The problem is if you are sending Bitcoin to someone that is a criminal and you don't know it, or somehow received "tainted" coins etc.

Every single Bitcoin user gets their own FBI agent assigned to them. Mine was my best man at my civil partnership recently.

My hands are actually fitted with a type of overglove on top of his hands which means he can override every single thing I type and do. I also have to allow him to fit into the same suit and pyjamas as myself.

You're telling me you don't have one, OP? You must be some serious deadbeat not to warrant one.

Funny. Of course it is insane for authorities to pretend to track every single bitcoin transaction , let alone every single transaction in any other cryptos, it's simply impossible, but thinking that the FBI is not actively and daily trying to track down bitcoin users it's naive.

Using Localbitcoins is a lottery in which you may or not may be dealing with an FBI getting paid to ruin your life while you try to get a couple hundred bucks worth of cash to pay bills.

The 130 cases are probably about deep web activities or about some big fishes irl. Nothing bad about this. If they do it with fiat what could be wrong to make it with digital currencies as well. We are safe from getting monitored by the FBI as an average Joe.
I can see that privacy-centric cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin mixers have a bright future :D

When people classified bitcoin as ponzi I do feel very bad because I have been in ponzi before and there is a great different between cryptocurrencies and ponzi scheme.  if FBI should investigate bitcoin because of the gained it makes in 2017 then I think FBI is the enemy of humanity.

Probably but they could be actively investigating bitcoin users itself through their activities on blockchain, and not as a person unless they know who particularly owns the address they are monitoring.
if FBI should investigate bitcoin because of the gained it makes in 2017 then I think FBI is the enemy of humanity.
Why would simply investigating bitcoin will make FBI the enemy of humanity? It's not like they investigate it so that they can stop people from using bitcoin. They are only investigating it since long before 2017 to prevent money laundering and crimes related to crypto.

It begins with "130 fringe deep web cases" and it ends up in efforts to control every transaction. Remember that Jeff Garzik is working in bloq, a technology to try to monitor the blockchain and track everything.

Localbitcoins is already not safe to use. You can have bad luck and be trying to get 100 bucks in cash and you end up arrested by some cop. The bastards want to put everyone in jail, even us poor people trying to save up some money and get some extra money in cash to meet monthly expenses. It is a lottery. I am too paranoid to move Bitcoin at this point out of the crypto system, they can label you a criminal if they want even if you are innocent.

Maybe FBI investigation will come to bitcoin but they will invest who the satoshi Nakamoto no one actually knows who is that or the blockchain network which is virtual.Hmm then who will be the crime partner.Maybe all the investors of bitcoin will be investigated anyone thinks this is possible?

Lmao. How do they even begin investigating Bitcoin itself? It doesn't set the prices, which is what you assume will be the reason to bring about an investigation. It's just code that people use in the most basic sense.

It doesn't matter what HYIP scammers use because they all collapse in the end. Not even Bitcoin can fund them enough.

Bitcoin is not going anywhere bruh 8) But the people who make money illegally are !! ;D As long as you stay clear , you are good to go with your BTC.
Over the years, the cyber crimes have increased and particularly those involving BTC have definitely increased because of the anonymity BTC provides over any other payment method. So it's obvious that the FBI have an eye over these transactions but I am quite sure that they are behind the criminals involved with it and not the genine people who work hard to earn money through BTC. So just chill and spread the BTC love.

Maybe the FBI investigates bitcoin to prevent it from misused. We know that bitcoin is decentralized and transactions made unknown identity. So, there are possibilities that it could use for money laundering and any illegal transactions. This is just for the safety of everyone.

Who then investigates the legalized fraud called Quantitative Easing?
Bitcoin price increase is compatible with nature. It breaks no rule. Example of  this: You find a "piece" of Gold and decide to sell it. People value Gold because it is  scares, attractive/shiny, unique, and last long... These features would make your buyers to want to pay good price for the Gold and price goes up.

With Central Bank's Quantitative Easing:    You bring in a magician to magically multiply the piece of Gold into a thousand pieces. This is not possible in real World. Except maybe in the spirit realm.

So which deserves investigating?

Well of course they will investigate Bitcoin and sue it under the full extent of the law.
They'll put Bitcoin in jail for sure and everyone will be sued for being complicit for its crimes.

I've personally been contacted by the FBI already and they've assigned me a personal agent, just as Gentlemand mentioned.

I thought this sort of stuff was common knowledge?

Now off to my meeting with the HYIP cartel, they're offering free drinks and snacks I've heard.

Which is my question, how does the FBI check Bitcoin? while Bitcoin security is decentralized!
Who will be the suspect when the FBI can investigate Bitcoin? while Bitcoin is just a tool.
Is not the investigated user?

The FBI will find it hard to be able to investigate Bitcoin, as we know bitcoin is just an investment tool that can be used by someone. so it would be very wrong, if the FBI investigates Bitcoin.

Even if you buy or pay for goods with bitcoin, there is no reason to hold you responsible. In bitcoin transactions there is no information who transfers to whom and most importantly for what. This is the main point of bitcoin is in its anonymity. Intelligence agencies must do their job, but they will not be able to bring ordinary people to justice.

The FBI is American property, while Bitcoin belongs to the world. The FBI can work or investigate cases if the case is in America, as for the case of bitcoin in every country. it is unlikely that the FBI should investigate every country, although they can investigate there must be a certain permit from every country and that too is impossible.

It is unlikely that the FBI can investigate Bitcoin, because Bitcoin does not belong to a person, a group and a country. but bitcoin can be used throughout the country, this is a very clear distinction.
which can investigate bitcoin cases is the United Nations, but the United Nations is only for peace and not for the economy. so in conclusion no one can bring bitcoin to the law table.

I believe so. How an FBI investigate if there is no  fraud happens. If there's fraud in transactions, or illegal activities then that's the signal for them to step in  my opinion. But on suspicious  activity, I don't think so. Maybe they can.

This has been done already. Few months after they knew that bitcoin can be used to buy guns, drugs, etc., the FBI already made their action. To avoid this crimes, simply stick to your work which I assume is legal so that you will not get into trouble. Just think of profits and accept it whether it is small or big.

Bitcoin isn't an entity that is visible that can easily be investigated. Investigating Bitcoin is not possible at all.

I don't think the FBI is concerned about bitcoin.  Cash is still more used in shady black market deals than bitcoin is.  They go after crime, FBI is not interested in targeting a digital currency.  The SEC is the group that will be investigating ICOs and fradulent cryptos.

This is not a bad thing. The FBI investigation of Bitcoin also has their reasons. Bitcoin is a decentralized transactional and anonymous transaction, so it is used by criminals to do bad things. Therefore, the law must interfere with Bitcoin so that it becomes cleaner.

I would like to mention something slightly off topic. SEC are investigating Elon Musk over his purported attempt to manipulate his Tesla company share price by tweeting out that he wants to buy back investors' shares and make his company private again. His tweet was enough to increase share price considerably in matter of days. I reckon if Bitcoin gets regulated pump and dump instigators and fake news speculators might get investigated for attempted market manipulation as well. Perhaps not by the FBI per say, more likely by the SEC and other agencies alike in different countries.

If you go from start then you will come to know that Bitcoin came to Lime-light when FBI conducted raid on silk route and when cleaning it they got the details about bitcoin and its technology. They Auctioned the BTC which they received in Silk Route Raid, then how do you think that they are going to Investigate in BTC. It can be that FBI are Investigating other Altcoins which are giving false commitment and scamming investors. Which is also good, even recently Bitconnect India Head got caught in Law hands for the false commitment they gave to investors and thought of scamming and running out. So now the Legal Law is tracking the ICO which are scammers and getting ready to punish them.

I think if the FBI comes to investigate bitcoin
It is just to figure out and put a stop to money laundering , internet scams that happens easily with the use of bitcoin

We can just be wary not to purchase tainted bitcoin

I won't rule the possibility out as it could happen but it would be too expensive of a task to undergo as such I think the authorities will turn to other and more pressing issues.

Terrorists group ISIS has $30 million to $100 million in Bitcoins. That is enough to carry out airstrikes and missile attacks.

Well, people says bitcoin is being used to buy drugs or to buy weapons and yet there is no news aboung this thing. No one is convicted yet because of this humor, or maybe this is not really true. This market is under investigation ever since, and government is not giving up yet on that.
