USD really is being used for illegal activities but rather I will say that money is being used for illegal activities. You cannot say that only USD is being used for illegal activities because all currency can be used to buy illegal things and do illegal acts, all can be used in bribing and in doing bad deeds after all money is the root of all evil. On those illegal activities the main purpose I think is to get more money so all currency is being used for illegal activities.

Yes money is the root of evil as we all know because of the illegal things that human being made but i can say not all the time because if theres no money we wontt survive it does really depend on the person on how he gonna use it ans yes usd can be used on illegal stuffs and all currency since we do know that it has value and people will recognize it.

That is the reason why they are trying to ban the high denomination banknotes, such as the €500 and €200 notes. But then again, if that was the case, then why the CHF 1,000 note is not being used for illegal transactions in a big way?

Thats not the fault of USD. Every country has its own currency which is used by the local terrorist, smugglers I mean bad people,thats not the problem of the currency thats the problem of the system. Yes USD is widely used so terrorist or criminals gonna like it for sure.
Also the US Dollar is the most used in crimes simply because is the most accepted currency worldwide, so criminals prefer to use it since it is easier to convert it to their local currencies so they can make use of that money or they can use the dollars directly since as I have said they can use it all around the world for nefarious purposes.

USD is used much for illegal transactions than bitcoin as people are not much aware of bitcoin and it's easy of accessing for illegal activities. Bitcoin now getting used in more illegal needs by experts and hackers who demand ransom in terms of bitcoin. These days few altcoins too have got acceptance in the black market.

I've never heard of someone being held kidnap that requesting bitcoin as ransom. Bitcoins are most likely being used in illegal ways on Deepweb such as buying drugs, guns, etc. But regarding about killing and kidnapping there, it mostly not being requested due to high payment required for those kind of things. And maybe scamming too. By the way, i think if bitcoin has been used on illegal ways then it reflect too on USD in such a way that they're exchanging bitcoin into fiat money.

I have no doubt that it is being widely used for such purposes, and obviously on a larger scale compared to Bitcoin. It will be difficult for you to find people willing to accept Bitcoin for illicit activities.

The illegal activities using Bitcoins do it because it's easier to cheat the law forces, as it's decentralized and not controled by anyone. But surely after they finish their illegal deals, they convert the BTCs to dollar, as they need fiat to buy most things on the world. Bitcoin is a good "middleman" for the thieves, that is unfortunatelly true... On the another hand Bitcoin helps honest people a lot also.

If the crime that you've committed gives you dollars, then you've probably did the crime in a USD based country. It will raise suspicious if you move to another place with all these money all of a sudden. Some agency will ask you how did you get all these money and can even become a case of money laundering. That's why it will be much better for you to use the money in the place/country where you got it. Or just convert it to bitcoins first, and no one will know.

Not really, there are many dollars around the world since it is the unofficial world currency and also because the US imports a lot of products and they pay with dollars and also there are a lot of dollar in countries that receive a lot of American tourists.

i think we can not blame USD because any currency can be used for illegal or legal activity we can blame it because it all depend on people if we are positive we should be use our money for legal and if we are negative then we will be use it for illegal activity.

USD is just a currency, you can't judge it. Money isn't bad. Only the one used it for the bad reason or earned it from bad things. So please don't judge money currency. Judge the right one who did the bad thing. It's same with bitcoin , which is known as a currency of crinimal in the past.

The point is that many people accuse Bitcoin of harbouring illegal activity, while the US dollar is used for even more illegal activity than Bitcoin is, especially since it's very hard to stay anonymous with Bitcoin unless you know what you're doing.

But as USD is used by all over the world so international terrorists will use this currency for their activities as they will not face any issue in any conry with that currency and everyone will easily accept that so we can say yes they may use.

You can't say that USD directly is used on illegal activities because there are a lot of people who are doing these illegal activities and it is done in every countries, we all know that countries has their own currency and not just USD. Bitcoin is also used in these kind of illegal activities, and it is a good digital currency for using such activity. Noone can really track a man that will put a lot of bitcoin in their wallet unlike when they put a lot of money in their bank account, that will really draw the attention of the government and the people.

No doubt that USD is being used for illegal activities, if it is not so. Then US doesn't have any prisoners for committing such crimes. And there's no exception of it, as long as it is money, people who are craving for money and riches will use any currency that they wish to use for their illegal activities.

Yes, USD is the Bitcoin of all fiats and sonice it's used globally in almost every country, bad people will find it convenient to do their business with it since it can be easily accepted and changed in every jurisdiction.

I know for a fact that it is used for Illegal Activities for small time drug dealing to the Big Time Cocaine dealing of Pablo Escobar when you look at his money stash you will know that he barely has his local currency but mostly his money stash is almost US dollar maybe due to the fact that his #1 customers are Americans. Also another big time syndicate that is also known for stacking up US dollar is Saddam Hussein having 900 Million of the 1 Billion stash in 100$ denomination of USD it was mostly obtained in the heist he made in the Central Bank.

I guess whatever it is as long as bad people saw things as exploitable and can be used to do their illegal things, they will use it. Regardless of what kind of currency, digital or physical, if they can take advantage of it and use it to buy them illegal stuff, they will use it and USD is no exemption.

That is the nature of humankind, many individuals tend to not care about other human beings and they steal or exploit them or the goverment. In every country, there are organized crime gangs or at least a criminal group doing financial frauds. It means that questions like " is xxx curency used for illegal activities" doesn't make sense, every currency and most of cryptocurrencies have been used to pay for e.g drugs, guns, website break-in or anything you want. Im glad you mentioned about Pablo Escobar, and you are totally right. He had most of his power because of so many USD stashed everywhere. However he didn't need a lot of local currency, his people just paid with dollars. Imagine the group of people doing crimes but stashing money in bitcoin, that would be insane!
