I think fiat and other currencies are used for illegal activities as well and not only Bitcoin
So that's not a negative feature of Bitcoin in my opinion

Fiat is being used thousands of times more for illegal stuff than Bitcoin, but as always, the media is only pointing at Bitcoin when it comes to bad things. It's a shame.

Exactly, you nailed it dude, it's not only the media related to governments that focus to accuse Bitcoin with such wrong accusations, but also the Bitcoin's haters worldwide, unluckily.

It's not that he nailed it. It's obviously true and nothing new. And fyi that media are not pointing only on bitcoin when it comes to bad things. Are you really into news or just reading some shit article around?

Bitcoin is much used in the dark web. This usage has increased a lot than the past years just due to the secure as well as anonymous nature of transaction.

If something is not used for illegal activities then that's not real money. Im not saying we should be happy to see Bitcoin gets used for illegal activity, but every serious form of money ends up getting used for that too, there's just no scape from that, you have to deal with it and try to a build a better world without destroy people's privacy at the same time. Thought task.

bitcoin sometimes used for activities that are negative. for anonymous transactions and the ease of access that causes bitcoin bitcoin positive value can sometimes turn out to be negative. depending on the person using it.

I think it is just the news and the government that is saying it. I don't believe it.
Bitcoin is used for a much wider range of activities, including online shopping, investment opportunities, business, etc. it's mainly the desperate ones that stoop so slow.

There are many possibilities as bitcoin is flexible and handy.Bitcoin transaction is completely anonymous especially on dark web where illegal transactions  are rampant.

Of course it's obviously used because bitcoin is money. But to the point that bitcoin is the only used it's a wrong one.

As long as there is money involved, all source will be used for illegal activities such as gold, oil or even salt in the ancient times.

Anything that has to do with purchasing products and services is something that can be utilized to do illegal work.

Yes its true that that its used for criminal activities, but every currency is used by criminals and other people so what ?
You cannot just limit the currency for someone so he cannot use it, there are with every currency some people that do wrong things with it.

Yes indeed, you are exactly pulling the words out of my mouth, the fact is that all currency's are used for criminal activities.
And if you compare it with the bitcoin is just a low percentage, because the dollar is also used by many criminals...

It's used for more legal activities than not, just like any other asset. Gold, silver, fiat even. Bitcoin isn't special when it comes to illegal activity.

yeah, but to be honest bitcoin is way less used for doing illegal stuff than fiat is used for doing illegal activities, i guess thats the point

even though it is not used only for bad things people do not realize that and usually thing that it is a really bad thing that has no benefits

Yup. That's because the whole world uses fiat, and just a handful of people use BTC.
So, while most IRL BRC use is criminal, almost no one uses it, so your claim holds true.

OTOH, while more people die from choking than from exploding hand grenades (in US), choking hazard snacks are not regulated (in US), while hand grenades are.
You wanna hazard a guess as to why that is?

Indeed every currency is used by criminals, so why should we worry about the fact the bitcoin is ued by them also.
Like every currency it has criminals that are using it but that would not become any problem in my eyes.
