I would have to agree and say it is involved on the same way any form of currency is, the majority of news about bitcoin tells us as much.

Yes news about bitcoin about it being used in nefarious illegal activities. It is a negative impact on bitcoin, instead of promoting it people will say that bitcoins are criminals money. But we cannot deny the fact that before bitcoins are enjoyed by surface web users it was the primary currency used in the darknet before the price even goes up.

I would say that because of its anonymity, bitcoin can be used in illegal activities. The regulatory bodies are strict in checking the transactions if it involves money laundering and the like in banks and other exchanges and they can easily trace the   people in that particular transaction but in bitcoin, they will only know the address not the people involved so I think criminals will prefer to use bitcoin.

Without any doubt, bitcoin is used for illegal activities. There's no reason why not. Any currency can be used for illegal activities, be it dollars, euro, etc. As long as it's money, you have no idea where it came from. The penny that you're holding right now might be from a drug dealer, serial killer, etc.

In the dark net, bitcoin is widely used because of the anonymity privileges it has. They can transfer it to their bank accounts without having any trace that the bitcoin they have was acquired by doing illegal stuffs.

Yes right bitcoin gives advantage for those who want to use it for illegal activity because of its anonymity no one can trace who is sending the money to you bank will show money coming from exchange only.Not the third person name or identity or address.

I totally agree that Bitcoin is widely used on illegal activities since it can't be traced on any ways. Criminals use the advantage of it and that's reality we can't stop it.

Bitcoin is being used for many illegal activities man because of the anonymity it offer to it's user. One place where they use bitcoin for illegal activities is the dark net. As I type this reply here now, They use bitcoin there for buying illegal goods and services. Well there's other places where they use bitcoin for illegal activities not just in dark net. There are many illegal activities done using bitcoin as a payment method some are just hidden so that they won't get caught.

Even with fiat all of that activities that you've mention can be accomplished.. It's not just bitcoin that can be used in any purchasing.. The use of bitcoin in illegal activities I think is normal as part of it as a growing currency.. Anyone would really take advantage of features any new thing could offer..

illegal act is not only in bitcoins , some others using paypal or western union for porn transactions it depends to people if they use it in bad things but they don't need to ban bitcoin because of illegal activities  Wink

It can be seen here. Gambling threads, gambling websites. I dont think there is a permit for that. They just open it and make an advertisement that they are open. Then people will come to gamble. That is illegal right?

People can do anything when intentions are bad. When there's a will there's way hahahaha. Criminals can commit crime anyway that is easy. Without any doubt bitcoins are very easy and anonymous for the financial transactions. So, bitcoins are surely used to do illegal activities.

Depends on the jurisdiction. In theory you should need a licence, ESP if the service is being offered via platform. But with the case of some of these smart contracts, the code would be the house, and I think it would be hard to sue the code. If the code never cashes out the funds, it never realized capital gains, and subsequently has no tax liability. Now that I've typed it out, I guess you are right; essentially offering gambling without a license is illegal. But enforcement in some cases would be almost impossible. Also, while this should be highly illegal, the government is being really cavalier about this at the moment for some reason.

Because Bitcoin is a rather new and exciting thing and also because of its pseudo anonymous qualities it will naturally attract the attention of people with shady intentions. Criminals may find this a great way for moving funds fast and your name will not be attached to the transaction that aside I am sure there’s a huge amount of criminal masterminds who will use Bitcoin without trace.

i dont think that it will be so. because it is not an easy job to do smuggling using bitcoin. because they can easy transfer the money in local currency and there is no restruction of money transaction. then why should the do so.

Illegal or legally constituted authorities of each country. So something that has never been discussed or have yet to get permission from the local government it is considered illegal, since they did not register their activities, services, or products to the Government. So gambling is indeed open but every country has its own authority.

Bitcoin is a currency and we all know all currency is can be use to both legal and illegal things or activities online or not.I dont think that the government will ban bitcoin just because it is use to a illegal activity then if they will do that they must ban all crypto and paper currency because both currency is can be use on illegal things.
