I see more and more acrticles of bitcoin being used for illegal activities
will this hurt bitcoin in the long run , will governments ban this just like they started to do wih paying in cash for some services
to harden the use of illegal , and money laundering
i think there are no such type of illegal activities happen with Bitcoin . if it would then all countries will banned the bitcoin use totally . but i think bitcoin csn never go hurt with some onky speek or write post . |

Just like dollar is used for both legal and illegal activities, Bitcoin is also used. It is a digital currency and so we cannot control for what it is used for.

Not just dollars but as well as the local currencies and as long as there is a financial involvement those illegal activity doers will able to connect their transactions illegally with it. And they are safer now because of bitcoins anonymity and they are liking it because they are not be able to be traced when they transacted to some merchants. |

Yes this is possible that bitcoin would be used for illegal activities.
In instance that other users may used it for bad purposes.
Like Hacking bitcoins may used to other people to get rich
easily.

Yes not only dollar or bitcoins,any form of money is always being used for illegal activities from bad peoples in our society and bitcoin having a digital currency and because of its features like its anonymous and decentralised,sadly its even more can be used for illegal activities without much of the problem. |

Bitcoin is being used for illegal activities as much as fiat is being used for illegal activities, it doesn't mean it's the fault of bitcoin or that bitcoin is a bad currency.
There's criminals everywhere and bitcoin is attractive cause it's very anonymous to all those criminals.

criminal activities are even higher with fiat. and this is btw a sign of a good currency. everyone can use it. if you leave certain people out and you can decide who can use it, then you have a bad currency. |

I do think that Bitcoin is being used in a illegal way but what can you do about it because real money is also being used for illegal things. You cannot stop that and we just need to accept that fact. |

You cannot stop that and we just need to accept that fact. yes, but we don't want bitcoin to only be used for illegal activities. so if there are many transaction and i'm talking about legal ones done it bitcoin it is fine that some illegal ones are also done. so yes you can do something about it. use bitcoin. and for legal things please. |

As bitcoin is anonymous digital money so those bad guys could easily use bitcoin for doing black trade like selling drugs, weapons and other things. Also they could send millions of money just a click and no one would realize that they had done that. They could also use bitcoin for transaction of money where they do illegal activities.

well the thing with bitcoin is, that you can follow every transaction for ever. so if you can link an address to a person it is not that anonymous anymore. it is not that easy and this is good. |

Yes but the problem with bitcoin is criminals find it easy to easy bitcoins for their criminals activities. This is picked up by the press very easily which gives bitcoin a bad name.
This is unfair since criminals also use dollar/euro yen for their criminals ventures.

Bitcoin is only pseudo anonymous. It becomes identifiable at its endpoints (exchanges) and where a wallet becomes identifiable (usually by choice of the owner or by IP). The public ledger is view-able indefinitely https://blockchain.info/ |

Most likely because of the lack of control, and because of the anonymity possible using bitcoin to do or pay for drugs or other prohibited items. Even child porn will also be charged for bitcoin, and then you can not track down the villain.

Of course it is, but cash is being used far more than bitcoin is. That does not make Bitcoin itself evil in any shape or form.

People can still be anonymous and buy illegal stuff with fiat if they know the dealers personally. It's the same when it comes to fiat and also wherever there's money there's always something good that it's being use to buy and something wrong or illegal. The other benefit like you've mentioned when using Bitcoins is that, people think it protects their privacy and they'd not want to meet personally to buy the illegal goods. This provides an advantage to them. |

You cannot stop that and we just need to accept that fact. Of course it is and we cannot indeed stop it what is also logical because its stays a currency and every currency is used for criminal activities without any doubts. |

You can't expect the mainstream press to be any different. Sensationalizing news about bitcoins sells. And they will publish what sells. |
