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.
Whatever is profitable, criminals will surely be in the scene. They will venture into anything good or bad so they could gain more wealth. Bitcoin is no exemption since it is quite open and accessible to anyone. Unfortunately, bitcoin has also become a medium for illegal activities which is very common with any other currencies.

Well we cannot deny the fact that bitcoin is being use by others foe evil because government has no access with this kind of transaction unlike banks that they can trace people who is using it, but it doesnt mean that bitcoin itself is bad.

yes, bitcoin is a tool as we use it, maybe it has some features to make some help for criminality, but it do more favor to the social progress, especially the concept of block chian which brings lots of new and helpful things like decentralized, traceable, tamper-resistan, etc. to us to make life better

Where the money is there evil. We will not avoid it. BTC payments are not controlled and easy to use for such purposes.
There have been cases where cybercriminals and hackers attacked corporations, with ransom demanded in cryptanalysts. Now there are much more approaches when it becomes more and more profitable.

Everything has good and bad side. Many anti social person used bitcoin to fulfill their activities. Anti money laundering done by the help of bitcoin. Many people across the world attacked by some malware program which  lock  their system, in order to unlock them they demand high amount of money in the form of bitcoin. Bitcoin  transition is difficult to trace so bitcoin became a favourite for criminal. Kidnapping, child pronography, murdering etc. Bitcoin is also used for ransomware attack

Bitcoin is a great platform for earning good money but it also has a disadvantage that many criminals are attracted by its key features of anonymity and decentralization . The untracable transactions made through bitcoin attract many criminals to commit a cyber crime as there is no way they can get caught . Many cases has arrived in the recent past where the ransoms were taken in btc by the criminals . This is one of the main reason why many governments and people does not support bitcoin.

Bitcoin users can also be subject to theft, scams, and frauds, which some argue is made easier because of Bitcoin’s structure and lack of regulation. The very nature of Bitcoin makes fraud prevention hard, one of the biggest factors being there is no way to retrieve Bitcoin that has been stolen or conned, and no way to revert the transaction.

Yes I do believe that. Instead of just looking ar the bad side why not look at the better side.
It seems for every thing that becomes popular we are looking for something wrong in it.
I know about the illegal deal that have been happening around it because I was also offered to sell my bitcoin for them but it depends on the bitcoin owner if he will bite that just so he could take more. It is the conscience that will eat you afterwards.

Because of crime, until now some people have a negative attitude towards bitcoin. I do not quite understand why this is connected, since with the same success a crime can be committed with ordinary money.

I agree on you, bitcoin is a decentralized system that no other third party involve even though how good it is for us as we earn and work for it in a religious way but we cannot deny the fact that it is very prone to be use in illegal transactions by the criminals because they can hide their assets and liability on bitcoin that no one can trace the transaction.

I also do not understand why bitcoin can be associated with bitcoin since I do not heard any crimes in the net or tv.  But it is possible considering that using bitcoin is much better and less hassle.  People who are into doing crimes will do anything any possible ways just to execute their ill motives.

Bitcoins and crime is connected because of the use of bitcoins as a currency in each illegal way like buying or selling drugs/Hitman service/etc. Such harmfull uses of bitcoins should be stopped as soon as poasible because truly it is affecting the peoples involved in bitvoins a lotm Bitcoina are not yet declared legal perhaps due to the same reason.

A lot of things in this world has to be stopped because it is negatively affecting a lot of people but do they stop just because we said it should be stopped? Not at all. First, the pollution from the large factories in China. Look up how polluted China is right now and you'd say "This should be stopped." once more but once again it will not stop just because you said so. Even with some actions it will not going to stop because it's a lot bigger than you are. There is no possible way for this type of transactions to be stopped because some of the mafias have a connection in the government. Some would say that they are above the law and I do agree with that. Money is everything to people and the government can simply be bribed by these rich mafias, I see no reason why would they reject that offer specially when no one would ever know.

Do you realize the fact that there's not much syndicates that gets busted? I guess it's because they are the government themselves.

I dont know but maybe bitcoin is really used to some crimes. Money laundering to be exact. I guess its the reason why some governments in other country ban bitcoin because it is associated with criminality.

We cannot deny that fact that indeed money laundering can be happening with bitcoin. There is no new to this because launderers are always on the find as to where they are going to launder their money that is illegally obtained.

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 we cannot deny the fact that bitcoin is being use by others foe evil because government has no access with this kind of transaction unlike banks that they can trace people who is using it, but it doesnt mean that bitcoin itself is bad.
Yeah its not bitcoin that is bad its the people who uses it in a bad way, dollars and other fiat are used with illegal transactions so bitcoin is no different with every currency. The only difference is that there will be no trace if this use bitcoin for their transaction.
