Criminals and Bitcoin

[makutu]

You should understand thoroughly the crime and Bitcoin, you should invest smart, safe transactions, bravery of the numbers

[Rockkey]

Nobody uses bitcoin for criminal activity. Bitcoin is being monitored too well. He is not anonymous. Anyone who uses regular bitcoins to commit unlawful acts can be caught.

this is the ugly side of crypto. and the police cannot trace the  transactions because of the nature of bitcoin and how it is designed

[Nikifor25]

I have seen some news regarding hackers, terrorists, and other criminals using bitcoin for illegal trades.
How the police can find about these transactions?
Even if is hard to track illegal transactions, I don't think that Bitcoin can be a danger to society, since the problem is the society and its people.
Since the beginning of the internet this is happening ( the bad people committing crimes)  and no one is willing to shutdown internet because of that, so in that matters Bitcoin should be equivalent. I think those illegal transaction are one of the reasons some governments and the media are trying to depreciate bitcoin, but the problem is not Crypto/blockchain or Bitcoin, is just the society.

Just bitcoin is not so easy to track such as paper money or Bank transfers. That's why they try to ban it.

I also heard news about criminals in my country, using bitcoin to buy drugs in the dark web.
Police find them when they tried to sell it.
So, it's obvious that criminals like btc and crypto and using it on regular base.
Because of such news many people don't like bitcoin or have negative feelings.
We should change it.

Bitcoin could be evil (criminal) could be good, all depends on the user. We must be wise in treating something, not arbitrarily in doing an action. Because if you do evil in the name of bitcoin, then you will lose yourself.

Crimes and criminals have been in existence before the reign of bitcoin like we all know people are always entitled to do what they want with money lets take for example guns were made to protect people same gun is used to kill people rob and so on same thing is applicable to drugs  drugs.So what am trying to say is that Bitcoin has nothing to do with the crimes people decide to do with it.

People will say Bitcoin and crinimals are related to each other but it's totally wrong , crinimals just use the advances from Bitcoin to cover their identify like they did to LR in the last few years.

Criminal underworld is dropping bitcoin for other cryptocurrency.Digital currencies such as monero and Zcash, which are designed to avoid tracking, have gained popularity with online criminals and risen in value faster than bitcoin over the past two months

[RamseyJoyce]

criminals can easily use bitcoin transactions most especially bitcoin hard track.
I hope the police can catch the thief bitcoin serious or illegal bitcoin users

[sultanali]

With a bright side of unrestricted international trade, bitcoin is also used on the dark web for the selling and purchasing of illegal and unethical products like guns, many types of fatal and addictive drugs and also prostitutes, and all of this is available on the dark web so it is given that criminals take benefit of it.

[PlusOne88]

Why would blame be on bitcoin? Why not just on money itself? Bitcoin may have been used for illegal activities but it doesn't mean it is naturally bad. It is the user that changes its view. A knife can kill but if used wisely itbcan be helpful in the kitchen. This ia what bitcoin is.

[Vart4varta]

The problem is that bitcoins are designed to blur the connection between transactions and IP addresses. All users are linked together linearly via the Internet, information is spreading as quickly as gossip, so only the informant knows the source of this information.
