There is no way to control where bitcoin or any altcoin or even fiat is being spent at, if those would be possible mafia wouldnt exist, and several wars wouldnt have sponsorship to keep attacking countries and people.
It does not need to be controlled as long as it is not affecting bitcoin... because illegal things are done with every currency but those currencies don't become bad just because of that one bad use as they have more good uses in the world... The problem though is that friend most of the currency like paypal can be traced if something suspicious is found, while in bitcoins you cannot found who is behind which transaction. But that been that's what makes bitcoins the best, they are untraceable and yet transparent and secure. So, let the wrong guys use it for illegal purpose, we should not CARE.

During the days of its existence people preferred bitcoin for illegal activities, also bitcoin's popularity increased due to the transparency got in the illegal usage without revealing identity. Now little by little people started to understand its potential and this has made it a better investment than a currency for illegal deals.

Just like dollar or any other currency is used for good as well as illegal activities, Bitcoin is also used for good and also illegal activities.It cant be avoided.The interesting thing is bankers and governments who hate Bitcoins try to create a picture that Bitcoin is only or mostly used for illegal activities.But its not fully true.

The bitcoin is used for criminal activities but this is not something that is very wrong because its logical and not something that is bad for the economy of it. Its just that it should not happen too much.
And its impossible to confidently say for any currency or asset that is not being used for illegal activities then why are we always blaming bitcoins only ? I am really very upset with thinking of people, guys come on whoever has BTC can use it the way he wants. It is very obvious that is a campaign of disinformation against bitcoin, after all bitcoin is such a revolutionary technology, that it can change the world so they are trying to slow adoption as much as possible as they think in a way to deal with it.

Its probably just some lazy reporters looking for an easy story. They need to have a hot new topic to report on, and kids buying drugs on the internet is something that people will read.
If we started seeing this type of news on a consistent basis on more mainstream news outlets, then I would start to believe there was some form of misinformation campaign going on.

It's the corrupted media reporting about something that is happening with just ANY currency in this world. Trust me, the dollar is used way more in illegal transactions and nobody writes a report about it...

yeah I think it is true that the news that there are many users who use bitcoin for illegal activities, even gambling also is illegal, because the bitcoin system are anonymous, this makes the user more comfortable using bitcoin for illegal activities

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 really think that your thread really meant nothing because bitcoin is a currency and just like other currency like dollar or other fiat money that are mostly involve in illegal transaction and can be involve in some illegal organization bitcoin is just the same if apply to some illegal activities that is why it is really common sense on what would people do with their bitcoin. As long it has a value it would surely being used on illegal services and transaction. as you said its up to people decision on how they gonna handle this things and how they would use up their money. Bitcoin is being used for sure on illegal things because of its anonymity feature. true I think it depends on its own uses, although the currency that does not have a system of anonymous but if the user was using for illegal activities, it could happen right and I think this is often the case, drug deals and so fort do you think they pay using what? of course fiat

As a matter of fact, Bitcoin is like a fiat. Many people are using it to do their illegal activities which isn't right because they 'd abusing it. Take note: Every illegal activites that has been connected in money can also be done in bitcoin.

The question would make sense if bitcoin were controled and regulated by some company, since bitcoin its decentralized there is no way to us know where the coins are being spent, and sure as long something has value it can be used for legal and ilegal stuffs and bitcoin isnt different.

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded i am not really active for some reason

Yeah bitcoin work decentralized different with a normal fiat that can not decentralized. Also bitcoin is anonymously currency if someone using it, so i am totally agree if you said that hard to detect who using bitcoin for illegal activities. The real identity of users secure when they use bitcoin for illegal activities such as transactions drugs or etc.

Yes, because it is a currency that cannot be tracked, which is anonymous and perfect for illegal activities.

Bitcoin is being used for sure on illegal things because of its anonymity feature. And I must say here that paypal is being used for even more illegal activities and added to illegal its being used for scamming also. Any currency can be used for scamming or hacking just whats the best thing is "stay away from such people " and there is absolutely no need to care about them.

yes that is a fact that majority of good people are using bitcoin, although there will be so many people who may be using bitcoin for illegal activities, as people use Dollar and Euro for such kind of activities.

You are right because they own it so they will use it the way they want, I don't even see anything wrong. If they are not known to BTC they will use some other currency, maybe gold or something. So if guns are used for security they are also being used for killing innocent people.

Bitcoin transactions can be tracked by all people if they so wish. The blockchain is open for everyone to browse through. If you for example buy yourself 1BTC from an exchange, and you withdraw it to your wallet, and spend it afterwards, the exchange where you verified yourself with your personal information, linked your information to that 1BTC. While you have got the impression that you are anonymously buying weapons or drugs with that 1BTC, the exchange in question knows exactly where your coins are going If the government forces your exchange to release all your information and logs, then the exchange will kindly cooperate and supply the government with everything they need.
