Yes! exactly!
Bitcoin is a means of payment currency. And it is neutral, and how to use each chooses himself.
As Bitcoin can be used as humanitarian aid to poor countries.
For example, some African countries, where there is no reliable financial system. Credit cards can sometimes just do not work, and their service is quite expensive. Most of the population does not have bank accounts and cards. So when they have a need for cash transfers, to help them to come more often services of cash transactions with their characteristic high commissions.

Bitcoin  can be used for good and for bad, it's a currency, so anyway people using it as they want, you can donate to people with bitcoin or become a crimial...

It always depends upon oneself if the person prefer one thing different than another it is no issue by doing so.
But bitcoin itself always good, the very structure of bitcoin is to transact payment easily and fast, whether you pay for bills or send money to someone.

Some people are using it to bad things because you need to be anonymous if you want to commit a crime and bitcoin is made to be anonymous so the criminal prefer it to used in bad ways, however the question still lies ahead.

If some people want to use a coin for bad things, they will use Monero, that is very anonymous. But There are not many usage of Monero. It means people use digital coin mainly for good things.

Bitcoins can be used for any kind of activitie it can be used for good things such as buying stuff or food for your self or other ones. But there are also allot of illegal users of the bitcoins for sure. But they cant be traced so they keep doing it.

Something strange is happening to Bitcoin. Once viewed as a way to do business in the darkest corners of the web, the digital currency has rather suddenly become a favorite talking point among humanitarians and international development enthusiasts.

Bitcoin isn’t just for illicit transactions or Internet hobbyists anymore, but for helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the unbanked.

Perhaps Bitcoin can save them! Perhaps Bitcoin can save the world!

Regardless of whether this attitude is realistic—and more on that in a minute—the people focused on demonstrating the social benefits of Bitcoin are challenging existing narratives about the cryptocurrency. While early commentary focused on how Bitcoin might be used to buy drugs online, or for sending money without a paper trail; the social-good argument suggests that these uses were simply the first use-cases in which Bitcoin’s utility became apparent. But there are billions of other potential use. There are, for example, people who face significant obstacles in operating within the formal banking system—and these folks look very different from the shadowy hackers that tend to be seen as the prototypical Bitcoin user. They could be low-wage migrant workers sending money back home to their families, for example, or activists receiving money from abroad during tumultuous times.

I guess so. If you look at the history of DOGECOIN, they did many philanthropic deeds, I think Bitcoin can achieve more, but someone has to start this motion. Otherwise, I think BTC would just become the interest of people who know about it (us).

[chineseprancing]

Yes bitcoin can be used at good deeds , You can donate to a charity or institution anonymously . You can help Too in donating your bitcoin to someone who is broke

[krishna1]

Yes bitcoin used for some good causes and I am using it for earning money and I donate 5% of my total incomes I got from online business to charities.....

[Bitcoinbro]

yeah of course Bitcoin can be used for good not everybody that makes use of Bitcoin is a criminal. I am here making my money the legal way.
I buy when the price is low and I sell them when I can make a profit and the price is high that is how I make money.

We know it could be use for good because many have profited from it. How about the bad side. Payment for illegal drugs or illegal guns. Syndicates transacting using this method. It is easy and they wont trace it that easy also. I can send 1 BTC per transaction and it will cost a little, then I send more 1 BTC so that nobody will care so much.

lmao . and that is in the darkwebs black market , and because of that i guess bitcoin is banned from some other countries and also i guess bitcoin becomes more popular because of that illegal transactions they just made the bitcoin to appear bad for some people and country .

[PsursV]

same as cash,cashes are basically anonymous it'll leave untraceable when you use it,and when people ask to the money,they money won't speak if you're the owner or ever used them,when bitcoin can be traced and the transaction history can't be deleted,it's just the media drives you into bad conclusion about bitcoin,just beware

[serjent05]

Well bitcoin has the same property as USD, so it can be used as currency.  We know as currency it can be use for good things.  You can use it to donate to charity institution.  Buy your kid with toys that they wish.  Buy yourself some food supplement from online store that accept Bitcoin to maintain your good health.  So Bitcoin can function the same function as money in using for good.

[ASHLIUSZ]

Bitcoin is digital money. You can use it for many good things. Donate for charity institutions, can do online payments and online purchases. Few stores accept bitcoin, in future we can see more.

[TGD]

Bitcoin is much more use for good thing than use it for illegal me my self love bitcoin for many ways for easy send and receiving money and used it for online stores  . And I don't want it to use for bad things likes cheating scamming other money or used it on illegal .

[Enotche]

Bitcoin is a very good tool. And how they will use,
It depends only on the people themselves. It's sort of a knife, a hammer and nuclear energy.
Bitcoin is good, that will make people free from the tyranny of the modern banking system. Or Bitcoin is an evil that society will drown in a quagmire of corruption and lawlessness.
