Almost every phenomenon or article of the material world can be used in criminal aims. So, for example, an ordinary kitchen knife or even fork can be used for a damnification to the man, However, it quite not means that these objects it is possible to forbid and eliminate from a turn. Therefore and cryptocurrency can be used as with good intentions so in criminal aims. From it it is impossible to accuse cryptocurrency, that she assists the increase of criminality. Her disposes of and uses foremost man. Exactly he is responsible for any operations with cryptocurrency.

Everything has two kind of face both good and bad. Bitcoin also has two kind of face good and bad depends upon its use. Criminality not a big matter. ever criminal wants its money transfer process in a secure way so they choose bitcoin.

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.
Hello all!!! On my opinion it is a nonsense because a lot of people use bow fishing arbalet for fishing and on this logical its crime also because it can be use against people! They need stop sell cars because some people kill a lot of people on the street because of their religious belief! Problem is not in bitcoin! You know...

Fiat currencies is already used for criminality and illegal purposes a lot more than Bitcoin, and its used for this reasons even before the Bitcoin's creation. So we can't link the Bitcoin or crypto currencies with criminality just because its a decentralized currency.
The most part of criminals and scammers are using fiat mainly to complete their transactions.

We can't do much about criminality connected to Bitcoin. We can't prevent such things from happening. Bitcoin isn't anonymous at all so I'm kinda suprised that criminals still use it. There are few cryptocurrencies that should be "criminals friendly" because it's nearly impossible to track them. Maybe it's because of stable Bitcoin's price?

I think right now the use of bitcoin is mostly used for something natural, although there are some people who use this opportunity to commit crime using bitcoin, such as buying drugs, and other types of illegal crimes. this is indeed one of the shortcomings of bitcoin, the person do this because bitcoin transactions are anonymous in which we can not know who is doing the transaction so they feel safe because the police will be very difficult to find them. but I think there are many positive things that can I do with bitcoin and I am trying not to commit a crime with my bitcoin.

you are right there that we really cannot prevent or do much about criminality because it is happening not just on bitcoin but in any form of exchanges and even in fiat money. Criminals will always find ways how they will going to pay or get paid - it is now the duty of the authority to catch them and think of bitcoin as its general use and not focus on how criminals will going to use it.

criminals even before the entry of bitcoin has always been able to find ways in order to proliferate.
no matter what the governments will do in order to stop them from what they are doing they will always thrive.
bitcoin may have indeed contributed in some part in the increase of criminality.
but for me with or without bitcoin criminality will always arise and increase as long as the government did not find the right solution yet.
therefore i would rather blame the governments for their lack of ways to stop criminality rather than blaming it on bitcoin

Actually, crime rates nowadays are quite large. Not only because of Bitcoin. But Yes, cybercrimes are increasing in rate because of our advanced-technology, criminals are also upgrading their techniques to do crimes. I do not agree that Bitcoin is the reason behind these bad happenings. This is because of us, people who live our life with full of greed and selfishness. That is why we think of doing some kind of bad act. Bitcoin is just the object. But their are a lot of cybercrimes wherein Bitcoin is not involved.

Agree, if bitcoin has advantage it has disadvantages too and that is being an instrument for the criminals to make their bad ways be possible. but even before btc or other crypto was released, this kind of problem are already existing. any currency can be tag in crimes if theres no money involve then it will be hard for them to do their bad deed.

if there is money of course many people will intend to use that to produce criminality and wrong deeds
One of black side of coins is criminality as now we are trading bitcoin and use it as alternative currency it can use to pay like drugs
due to its decentralization and block chain technology it can travel around the world that is the main reason I think.

Yes bitcoin may be the one of the currencies that is used for illegal trades such as drugs etc.But you cant change the fact that money is also used in different criminal activities and I think that most of the criminalities are using money.

Don't don't forget that all of the money in the US has traces of cocaine on it along with other drugs. Bitcoin is a currency not the activity itself. Many good things have their start in nefarious plots too funny enough.

their is always criminality everywhere even in bitcoin, bitcoin can be used in good terms and also in bad terms because it is anonymous, you can use it in illegal transactions and etc, I think that is also the reason why most of the government around the world is refusing in the bitcoin to be an official currency in their country. But I think the problem is not on bitcoin but on its regularization.

The problem when you invent something is that you never know how people are actually going to use it. Are they going to use it for good or bad or are they going to use it for a much different purpose?

With the reason that bitcoin isn't the official currency of a country because bitcoin is being used by criminals for illegal transactions, then every single fiat should already be burned by now. Bitcoin is known for being used in the deep web but fiat currency are certainly used 1000x more frequently than bitcoin for illegal transactions. With all the corrupt government, all the huge syndicates, and all the drug lords out there, with no question, the amount of fiat being transacted for illegal stuffs exceeds the market cap of bitcoin. Just think about the amount of bitcoin users (around 0.00x percent) and the amount of fiat users. It's all statistical.

I think the reason the governments are not accepting bitcoin is that it exploits the idea of having a non-taxable money and the idea that fiat currency is constantly inflating.
The bitcoins are helping the police because now a days millions of people use bitcoins instead of keeping cash with their self thats why the thieves are not able to snatch bitcoins because it is the most safest way to keep your money in there fore police should be thankful to Bitcoins.

The emergence of crypto currency can not significantly affect the growth of crime. Indeed, due to relative anonymity, the crypto currency attracts criminals. However, this is not a lack of crypto currency. This is her dignity, as she gives the person an additional degree of freedom. The use of crypto currency for criminal purposes is a problem of law enforcement bodies, and no more. It is not necessary to defame a progressive phenomenon only because it can be used for criminal purposes.

You are definitely correct mate! We should not focus and divert all of the attention as to whether or not bitcoin or any other altcoins are being used by criminals because even in fiat money, criminals can get away with authorities transacting through the mode of fiat payment. It is really the duty of the respective government enforcers to catch these criminals and we just focus on the good side of cryptocurrencies..

Yes, bitcoin is helping the criminality.
We have to change some things on I think. More regulation will help bitcoin.


well shoes do, too. and knives. and telephones. every technology can be abused. where did the idea come from that a new technology should not be able to get abused? that is impossible.

regulate what? the (possible) criminal use of bitcoin? that is already regulated because it is illegal . the lawful use? why regulate that?

That is so true mate! Smiley Even fiat money that is regulated are subject to illegal use by criminals. Therefore, there is no way for us to be certain that once bitcoin will be regulated it will be free from criminal abuse.
