It is sickening that this type of stuff happens, but bitcoin can not be blamed for this. There are enough other methods to get money switching hands, even more private ones like fiat cash.
I don't think the payment part is the problem, they should focus their attention on the platforms where it is distributed. Those have probably become harder to track as well.

i dont think that bitcoin is responsible for such activities. i think the media the porn sites the the call girls and the atmosphere is responsible for pornography in children. because all these facilities were already available before bitcoin exist. i ma using bitcoin for such a long time but still i never find any such situation or feeling in bitocin.

Its the same age old argument that fiat money helps increase the spread of illegal drugs, prostitution and guns. Any kind of trading platform will be used for trqading anything that has value to someone. In this case it child pornography. Bitcoin doesnt help this anymore than any other currency could. Even if we banned bitcoin child pronography would still spread just like banning fiat would have no impact on drug sales.

True, bitcoin is only used as currency to buy and sell. Removing bitcoin would do little in stopping these sickos. If we take away all the recording devices then they will be left with nothing to make the videos with! But that would be impossible as one can buy a recording device for very cheap in pawn shops.

Bitcoin is a transparent ledger, therefore any criminal activity involved with Bitcoin is explicitly allowed by the governments who have all the tools they need to stop such illegal activity.
Very incorrect. Bitcoin is a pseudo-anonymous,transparent ledger. The government, nor someone else, can't tell whether a TX was used e.g. to buy groceries, or to buy drugs. Well, digital cameras and cell phones with cameras are the real culprits here...Is there any startup trying to solve the GoPro child pornography problem?
A rare, yet fine argument from your side. Whenever the media talks about "Bitcoin used in X, bitcoin used in Y" it is just paid propaganda. Of course it is going to be used for everything because it is money and that is what money is used for. Why doesn't nobody talk about the dollar, which I assume to be the currency being used in most illegal stuff? Oh yeah, because it doesn't threaten the banks.

you always find what you look for! if you are looking for child pornagraphy and searching for it then you find ways to do it and find news about it, and bitcoin doesn't change anything about that. if bitcoin weren't created there would have been another way these filthy people go about it.

Sad but true w already know it bitcoin is already use to illegal activity .but ithink it will not give negative site to bitcoin users.we all know even without bitcoin it is already happen all around the world using Fiat.

Very incorrect. Bitcoin is a pseudo-anonymous,transparent ledger. The government, nor someone else, can't tell whether a TX was used e.g. to buy groceries, or to buy drugs. That's incorrect. Elliptic, for instance, is already tracking txs associated with illegal activities, including cp, e.g. http://www.coinfox.info/news/5867-blockchain-to-help-tracking-child-porn-consumershttps://www.engadget.com/2016/07/06/startups-seek-to-de-anonymize-bitcoin-to-fight-crime/

Government shouldn't intervene with bitcoin at all, instead they must find a way to stop those criminal. Those criminal still can operate even bitcoin never exist.
Governments *did* find a way to hinder, if not stop, those criminals. By controlling Bitcoin

Even if the government intervenes and start regulating bitcoin,the criminals will move to some altcoin and start using dogecoin,litecoin,etc... This is not the solution and the problem isn`t bitcoin itself.

... also purchase of drugs and other illegal equipments. We may not know but maybe terrorists are buying weapon of mass destruction using bitcoin
They can use anything to trade for illegal items. Gold, silver, weapons, cars, jets, art or wine bottles. Keeping the terrorists out of your country is a better solution. Do not make everything illegal.

Do not make everything illegal. If you can figure out how to send "Gold, silver, weapons, cars, jets, art or wine bottles" quickly, cheaply, and anonymously through the internet, I'm all ears.

Track the CP stream back to the source and the real culprit is definitely cameras. I have noticed a lot of people linking addresses, payment amounts, etc. to make reasonable correlations between illegal vendors and their customers. Sure the blockchain isn't something you can skim through and pick out illegal transactions, but the tools are there to identify these people. Between the blockchain's transparency and traditional means of law enforcement, it's hard for me to understand how bitcoin/blockchain is seen as an enabler for this activity when it's been going on long before bitcoin and bitcoin makes the transactions publicly visible, unlike the USD which keeps everything as confidential as possible (practically encouraging shady behavior)
