Yes the bitcoin is used for criminal activities but I do not mind because its maybe also good for the bitcoin.
Plus in fact every currency is used by criminals and that is also already mentioned here by people.
Please, tell me why it may be good that Bitcoin is being used by criminals? As hard as I am thinking I really can't think of any reason why it would be good for Bitcoin that it's being used for illegal stuff. Well for one Bitcoin is very anonymous. You can transact here without having the need of disclosing your actual real name. I also think it can be good for the bitcoin because it will maybe boost the economy and maybe already is so that is why. I also other currency's have this so it would not be real problem. I think it is the thought of some people. I don't know how it can be used illegally. May be some illegal transactions, that too we can't find how far it is happening. To my sense it is the technical way to earn money. |

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

To my sense it is the technical way to earn money. people just buy some illegal stuff i think, bitcoin itself is definitely not illegal in most countries but some people use it to buy such stuff as drugs and so on in my opinion it is being used for making illegal activities and it will always be because it can give people a chance to be anonymous what kinda encourages them to do that |

Of course bitcoin is being used for illegal activities, Bitcoin is a good payment method for criminals and it is difficult to check them so that is good for the criminals they can buy some easily stuff or something.
But if Bitcoin is getting more popular there are more people will get to know about it and that is quite bad.

Of course it is being used for illegal activity, like any currency if you think about it, whenever there are humans there is mis-use and therefore it's not that irregular... I don't think it's the fault of BTC at least.

It does not matter that if bitcoin being used for illegal activities but what does matter is bitcoin is used in every activity no matter it is a legal activity or an illegal activity. So usage of bitcoins everywhere which matters most.

I think it is only a rumor or maybe sometime in the past it was used, but it is not frequently used, most of the criminals are illiterate and they do not have any knowledge about bitcoin, and if they started to learn about bitcoin they will also learn the ways of its earning which is much easier and not risky, so they may adopt it.
no,its not rumor,lets see in other case,bitcoin used for gambling,and i believe in some countries gambling is illegal,and this is relize that some countries with illegal gambling there,can't accept bitcoin easily. |

Well yes bitcoin is famous on the dark/deep web but without bitcoin criminals would use any other online payment option like bitcoin. And remember the dark web is just a fraction of fiat money used by criminals. |

I have also saw that there are not much cases occurred with which it is noted that bitcoin is used for criminal activities, Currently the criminals are much less aware with it, as after France attack, I have never saw that in any case the bitcoin is used. |

Maybe some many people used bitcoin to illegal activities, but i hope you taken from positive side of usability bitcoin.
I think you can not tell people to use bitcoin positiv only to act alone dude bitcoin is decentralization. someone who can not intervene in the use of bitcoin. you're free to do anything using bitcoin. |

Yes of course it is being used for illegal activity. Fiat, gold, diamonds, credit cards, etc. are also used for illegal activity. I don't think it's going to be the cause of Bitcoin's failure.

That's not fair, we are supposed to spread with the positive usage of bitcoin rather than giving description it's usage in the illegal trading and other sectors. Once after being a part of bitcoin, let them learn of their own about the various factors of bitcoin. |

I'm willing to bet cash is used for 99.9% of all illegal activity. Bitcoin is a drop in the bucket compared to cash.

Everything that has value is used for illegal activities to some extent. Bitcoin is too. Not sure if there´s any more proportion of criminality in that than any fiat. And of course the total value of bitcoins is microscopic compared to fiat currencies so its share in criminality is microscopic as well.

Very well said all currencies not only bitcoin is used for illegal doings as long it has value its still money. It can buy destructive arms and can pay for hoodlums to do bad things. But think of it we should use money for best doings and we should remember that we are humans and make give love humanity dont use bitcoin for illegal doings. |

Yeah the fact that you cannot be traced via Bitcoin is making it the ideal place for online criminals. You will never be able to stop all criminals so just do not focus on them.

there are lot of ways to trace BTC and only few way to hide, but this is like fiat, you can hide fiat in much more places then you can "put" your BTC because you can take BTC in yur hands and cannot invest anywhere to laudring... fiat has a very dirt histiry and people use money this "way" everyday... anyway.. 'course you can use btc in illegal acts, but your had to be very clever to don't let ANY trace in the web, because the "spiders" catching this "spots" are pretty much more clever than "normal" people behind desks searching for fiat that are "Invested" in factories, buildings and lot of huge "social" stuffs.

you are right. many of which utilize the excess bitcoin transactions are fast and difficult to be detected to conduct illegal activities online, and bitcoin price also remained stable as possible for the transaction of the illegal activity |

Actually Bitcoin is being used in all types of illegal ways, First they run it thru a mixer, or multiple wallets, and then run it thru investment type websites or run a website its self. then after the serious mix. It is then distributed to multiple users, then to the final transaction Traceable maybe, but it would take a very long time to figure out exactly who, and what it was used for. think of a spider web with a grass seed stuck in it.
