Title: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: champbronc2 on August 14, 2014, 12:20:47 AM Hey all,
People keep saying illicit use is on the decline with Bitcoin. Is it true? I know we're all curious.. so what better way to find out than an anonymous Bitcointalk poll. Do you/have you used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes?

I haven't ever visit Silk Road, or the hidden wiki, or one of that sites that allow you hire hitmans. Need to do such visit one day. Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: kerafym on August 14, 2014, 03:34:47 AM What kind of illicit purposes?
Online gambling is illegal for American, do you mean buying coin to gamble online? Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: iluvpie60 on August 14, 2014, 12:41:41 PM Hey all, People keep saying illicit use is on the decline with Bitcoin. Is it true? I know we're all curious.. so what better way to find out than an anonymous Bitcointalk poll. Do you/have you used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Is gambling considered illicit? Just not sure on it on a state by state basis, but I am pretty sure at the Federal level it is considered some kind of crime and you could get arrested for online gambling, so I guess that would be illicit then? Legalese terms are not my strong point so I am unsure of. No I have not done anything with bitcoin besides trade back and forth really. Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: DarkHyudrA on August 14, 2014, 12:51:58 PM Never used for illicit purposes.
Used only for DRM-free games and services("legally ok" where I live). Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: oceans on August 14, 2014, 12:57:33 PM I have not but who would admit to that on this thread? I supposed if you always login with TOR it would be ok but I would say even that wouldn't be considered safe.

Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: commandrix on August 14, 2014, 01:54:32 PM I think I missed the boat when it comes to using Silk Road for buying and selling illegal items. :P But, seriously, I'm too busy trying to do a legitimate job of earning Bitcoin to really worry about using it for illicit purposes. I haven't even used it to pay for sex.

Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: Treggar on August 14, 2014, 02:24:56 PM Depends. Is buying a new TV without paying sales tax illicit? :P
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: BitcoinBarrel on August 14, 2014, 02:27:13 PM Wow this poll really contradicts the mainstream news saying Bitcoin is used by criminals and drug dealers.
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: Tzupy on August 14, 2014, 02:42:49 PM That quite bearish, it means that there is no real need for a larger amount of bitcoins in circulation.
And 80+% are using bitcoin for speculative purposes only, like me. ::) Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: jjc326 on August 14, 2014, 03:18:09 PM I don't think that actually gambling with BTC is illegal. I know it's illegal to run a gambling establishment in the US but not sure on actually gambling online itself. Anyway look at my sig, but I'm not answering yes or no, and I'm def not answering that poll :D
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: RodeoX on August 14, 2014, 03:20:37 PM The press loves to talk about the "dark net". It makes a far better story than the truth. Nobody wants to read about me buying alpaca socks. I did buy a handgun last week with bitcoin. But it was all legal and boring. :-\
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: Beliathon on August 14, 2014, 03:47:11 PM Just weed. I use it for PTSD / anxiety / depression relief. I'm sure NSA can easily get my address if you want to send DEA to come arrest me.
The weed is sitting next to me right now. Just be warned, I will turn your prison upside down by teaching fellow inmates radical politics. http://uafs.edu/sites/default/files/COB/images/face%20the%20world.jpg Yours in solidarity and compassion, World Citizen Beliathon Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: Mr Tea on August 14, 2014, 03:49:09 PM I don't think it's on the decline, but it's use for legit stuff is on the rise so overshadows the bad stuff.
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: Yeezus on August 14, 2014, 03:54:06 PM I've never used it to buy a drugs, but I did think about using Silk Road to buy some weed but never did as the site went down and I never botherd after.
Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: BitCoinNutJob on August 14, 2014, 03:58:16 PM Next do a poll on fiat, i have used fiat much more vs bitcoin for "illicit purposes" since the invention of bitcoin Title: Re: [POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes? Post by: zedicus on August 14, 2014, 11:50:33 PM I don't think it's on the decline, but it's use for legit stuff is on the rise so overshadows the bad stuff. I think if anything using bitcoin for illegal purposes (like buying drugs online) is on the rise over the medium term. Ever since Ross got arrested, many more people have discovered that it is possible to do this and have started to do so. I think if anything, the FBI actually made the market and potential for profits of drug dealers on the "deep web" much bigger by arresting Ross and shutting down Silk Road 1. |
