Yes, bitcoin maybe used for payment in their activities but not necessarily bitcoin is the root of the increase of criminality. Before bitcoin, there were already criminality that is happening in the world, it just upgraded for some uses bitcoin for their transactions.It can be their love for money, revenge, greed and many more. Crime has been on the society even when before came into existence.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Would you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in  some countries in the world. This is the issue that was being thrown by the EuroPol and the UK Metropolitan Police. According to them bitcoin has played a huge role on the increasing criminality in their area. They added that a huge number of cybercriminals were using bitcoins in their activities.

This just shows that as bitcoin develops both advantages and disadvantages will tag along.
Well, it's easy to believe in things that bitcoin is used my criminals in some countries. Well, as you can see it is considered as money where you can use it for transactions worldwide. One thing that bitcoin can really be used for crime because it is really hard to track every transaction. Bitcoin already played a huge role in the individual because someone can really make a real progress in life but others can used it for crimes. However, I don't think we can avoid criminals by banning bitcoin. It's not an easy thing to do.

Bitcoin be the most popular cryptocurency tan the other coin because the bitcoin is the main all of altcoin, the altcoin price and value will depend on the bitcoin value. So why the bitcoin most popular then the other altcoin, and the other way why the botcoin most popular than the altcoin because the bitcoin have high price that the altcoin price, the compare off them so far and bitcoin have high value. So is the most make the bitcoin popular than the other.

Bitcoin transactions are psuedonymous, but not actually anonymous. Essentially, your account has a number instead of a name (which, as you probably know, is also how bank accounts work in Switzerland).

There’s not any way to stop a bitcoin transaction (unless everyone in the world with powerful computers teamed up and agreed). If you tried to wire money to a hitman, the bank would tell the government and the government would tell the bank not to hand over the money. With Bitcoin, you could send money to anyone and no one can stop it.

However, if the government figures out which numbers/wallets belong to you, they could still trace the evidence that it was you who sent (or received) the money. Everything can be traced! There are other cryptocurrencies that don’t have a public ledger, however.

While I do believe that bitcoin, because of its decentralized nature, is convenient to use in illegal transactions online and is somehow giving "bad guys" an easier way to go about their business. Upon reading the article, I don't think that bitcoin is to blame when it comes to hackers. Hackers have been around even before bitcoin and will still be around long after. My point is that there will always be people with malicious intent regardless of motivation.

Well the fact that outlaws use BTC as a form of payment or funding of criminal activities doesn't make BTC directly responsible for the increase in crime. Before BTC, they found a way of carrying out their activities and without it they will still find other ways.A medium cant be blamed for serving its purpose, the users should.

Bitcoin is an open source where dominant part of the people devotees of bitcoin knows this things. In any case, it doesn't mean we should be panic of it, obviously not! Bitcoin can be use for unlawful exercises if the client are one of the abusers.  In any case, if not, frequently bitcoin being use to help other people not to hurt anybody. Also, I never heard that bitcoin being use in culpability as far back as I began here, I don't know in the other nation if that happen

On the off chance that there's a voracity on cash guiltiness can happen. It is available wherever on account of the voracity of the general population for cash. They are not satisfied on the cash they have or they need a pain free income however would prefer not to endeavor to gain it. Bitcoin can be earned by buckling down however in the event that you have a higher rank it can be considerably less demanding than the fledglings yet guiltiness still exist on this due to their avarice.

everyday in the world criminal activities always there.  abusing the use of bitcoin become a possible thing because with bitcoin, it is more easy to do some transactions to buy something without knowing who you are and where you are. for example some people who use money as payment to drugs, gun smuggling etc. However, not every criminal in this world are into this kind of technology, and not every people who use bitcoin committing criminal activity.

Well in the event that you think altogether, Bitcoin increases guiltiness since hoodlums could utilize bitcoins to do unlawful installments and in addition putting away their cash. This case apply to corruptors where they can purchase bitcoins, purchase another altcoin and blend them.

Indeed, so far there are people who use bitcoin for various criminal activities by utilizing the bitcoin decentralization feature, so the government always takes into account the legality of bitcoin, but we know not all bitcoin activity for criminal purposes.
in fact there are many useful bitcoin activities so bitcoin can be a source of income for some people who have the skills and knowledge in bitcoin.

Everybody is talking about Bitcoin's use in criminal activities, but don't you think that Monero is actually the one that will be used more in the long term (since it's main advantage is anonymity).

In any case, you cannot prevent that, up to now it was a dollar, now Bitcoin, it is not like Bitcoin is contributing to the increase of criminal activities in any way.

One of Bitcoin's most helpful highlights is that clients don't have to reveal individual data when managing and that is useful for some, individuals including offenders. They will exploit Bitcoin revenue driven, wrongdoing. Furthermore, the most grounded confirm is that the quantity of Bitcoin clients increments, and the quantity of offenders increments.

There are many reports recently that cryptocurrency like bitcoin is being used in many illegal activities like money laundering, drug trafficking, and in funding a terror group. These activities are mostly done in the so called dark web where online activities are hard to monitor. This is also one of the reasons why many governments are planning to impose regulations in cryptocurrency exchanges to monitor and control the movements of bitcoin transacions.

People are saying about Bitcoin is crime or related to crinimals but actually they're just using the anonymous feature of Bitcoin to do it , not cause of Bitcoin at all so it's wrong when you're saying bitcoin is crime.

It always makes me smile when people talk about the "massive amount" of criminal activity happening on crypto. Just compare it to the criminal activity and money laundering happening on FIAT currency around the world every day.
