Bitcoin? Call the police!
Money laundering, drugs, child pornography and weapons. Anything else I’ve forgotten?
Have you also forgotten that I can use fiat for all of the above as well. Except with Bitcoin, ANYONE can follow the money trail and see if I am doing any of the above. Only certain people can see your money trail with fiat (unless you use cash which becomes much harder).
You also forgot that I can buy computer parts, computers, food, groceries, games, toys, and a whole bunch of other things that you can also buy with fiat.
Do you understand yet why someone created anonymous money?
It is pseudonymous actually. Which means that names are not associated with the addresses, but anyone can still see all of your transactions. So if someone figures out who is behind various addresses, he can see everything that person is spending money on, be it child porn, weapons, food, or video games.
I spent a year in the Bitcoin business and what is the result? I lost all I had and now I am asking for help to investigate the thieves who stole our money.
We were first hacked, then robbed of most of the money intended for the project CzechCrownCoin.
And whose fault is that? Are you suggesting that banks can't be robbed or hacked and all of the money stolen? Are you suggesting that people's bank accounts can't be hacked and all of the money stolen? Bitcoin allows you to be your own bank, so you must also figure out PROPER SECURITY PRACTICES which banks must also do for fiat. Otherwise, you are at risk of being hacked. It's not Bitcoin's fault, its yours.
I believe we were not the first to suffer.
Nope. Not at all. But some also don't complain about it and others figure out how to solve the problem
Can any honest enterpreneurs operate in such an environment?
Hundreds if not thousands of entrepreneurs operate and survive. There are many Bitcoin startups and they are doing just fine. Just take a look how some of the biggest Bitcoin companies are doing. Remember, many of them are small teams working on the project and only went up a few years ago to capitalize on this amazing new technology.
My personal experience is that they cannot. I have filed a complaint with both the CIA (registered number C52WDE) and the FBI (Complaint Id - I1508201506442831). I want to know who is responsible for that robbery.
Well that isn't going to get you anywhere. Law enforcement isn't going to help. They neither have the time nor resources to deal with "magical internet money". Try asking people on this forum for help. There are many people here who are very experiences with tracking addresses and experienced in Bitcoin in general. Provide enough details (addresses, txids) and I'm sure several people will help you track down the thieves. It is unlikely you won't get the Bitcoin back, but the odds are higher than going to the CIA or the FBI for help.
It is impossible to do business in a field where there are so many phantom players and racketeers endlessly attacking.
This is not the place for innocents. These are dark, shark-infested waters. Don’t go swimming here unless you have someone to cover your ass. You will lose all you have and then become a fall guy. If you are stubborn you will just simply disappear.
That is Bitcoin reality.
And it will not change until every Bitcoin wallet has the name of its user, as with a bank account.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have reached the point in their development when they must choose between continuing as regulated currencies or finish. Because it is not possible to build a business which is oriented towards criminality.
How is it oriented towards criminality? The majority of transactions of Bitcoin are not for criminal or nefarious purposes, but rather for legitimate purposes like buying and selling goods. There are many successful legitimate Bitcoin businesses that are thriving.
Our case is evidence that anonymous marauders have robbed us and safely disappeared, under cover of Bitcoin. If this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody and nobody is safe. A solution must be found.
What is needed is an international supervisory body protecting the interests of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and users with powers of enforcement.
Such a supervisory body, however, cannot function without the support of a police authority possessing human and technical means to track, monitor and trace the rogue cryptocurrency users who are abusing the system for malicious purposes. A draft proposal has already been sent to CIA: http://[Suspicious link removed]/forum/index.php?topic=4473
We can hope that some action will be taken. The chance should not be missed to create a fair business enviroment.

So you propose the centralize Bitcoin? And what good would that do? Take a look at fiat. There are plenty of governing and enforcement agencies that attempt to prevent criminals from doing evil with fiat, but what good are they doing? Very little. Even with all of fiat's regulations, there are still more criminal and nefarious transactions that occur with fiat than do with Bitcoin.
^^^That pretty much sums it up.
