All currencies as bitcoin and some altcoins may be used to ilegal activities but in the end fiat will always lead those market as it is the main resorce of that kind of business.

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.
Exactly. I wouldn't ever hate Bitcoin more or less just because some no good crooks use it.

People who keep pushing that bitcoin is being used in criminal activity have some propaganda behind them,we all know that every money is used by criminals so its normal.

Bitcoin usage is high in ransom rather than other illegal activities. It is just for the safety of the person because only the transaction can be tracked but the person can't be identified.

Of course it is used by illegal activities. Because you can easy use Bitcoin to buy some illegal stuff or something.
And people will not know that you bought so it happens also secretly so that is really bad. And it is also becoming more popular.

Bitcoin has been used long for illegal activities. When the acceptance of bitcoin increases gradually the illegal activity usage decreases to some extent.

Yes some people use bitcoin to receive ilegal money from pc hacking.( like Ransomware virus)
I even heard a lot of people sell stuff carding like paypal and credit card payments via bitcoin. because with bitcoin people will not know their data id, etc. very smart
Even though, There are plenty of people selling these and other illegal items for USD and cash, it's still unfair to blame the currency for the acts people using it are doing.

Exactly, it is the fault of the ones using it for illegal activity rather than bitcoin's or general bitcoin population, These people are under the laws of there countries and bitcoin has nothing to do with it more than how money "USD" has a relation to crimes.

Everything can be used for illegal transactions. Probably USD in the form of cash is still the most used tool for illegal activities. I guess EUR is the second.

probably? nothing in the world can come even close to what damage has been done with the us dollar. bitcoin in the coming 10 years won't come even close to 1% of that. and still the media is blaming bitcoin for terrorists attacking airports and so on. it's not bitcoin that's being used for that. look at cash money, gold, artwork, and the list goes on. everything with value from money to a car can be used to finance terrorists.

Of course it is used for criminal activities but do you consider this as a real problem, I do not because the world is full of criminals and they are all using a currency to launder the black-money so no one can do something about that fact.
It does not matter in what year we will be it always be like this even in the future in about 30 years.

well im pretty sure they do care as bitcoin is pretty much untraceable and no one can find out who bought something illegal

besides that in my opinion bitcoin is used for doing illegal stuff really often though i guess that pushes the price a little bit

Well you can trace the all transactions around on adres just cant know who is the person behind it,anyway the silk road showed people were using bitcoin to deals ,soo sure bitcoin and fiat keep being used to this kind of stuffs and there is nothing police can do against.

When something gives ease of transaction people move towards it. In the past USD & EURO has been used much as it is known to people widely than bitcoin.

It is true that fiat currency and gold are the major transaction for Illegal activiy but as bitcoin is going in fame and politicians and big country particularly USD is getting afraid that Bitcoin can take over the fiat currenc so they are all framing it Bitcoin as illegal activity major source so that they can kill bitcoin. But they dont know that bitcoin is now 50% above in major form and within some year we can see a major breakthrough in bitcoin world.
