Criminality and Bitcoin

[hsjrjkf]

I think it depends regarding the people who use bitcoin, because even in late gathering coin if the people throbbing to use or to realize a criminality they can realize it whenever they agonized sensation and where ever they are. Don't just focus going nearly for bitcoin disadvantage to lid the concrete crimanality achievement of added things.

Bitcoin itself is only an investment tool, it is not good or bad. If it is said that it is linked to crime, it is only people who take it to commit crimes. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Indeed bitcoin is the independent currency nothing can harm bitcoin and bitcoin can harm nothing, it has a lot of benefits for the investors and It has the ability to change the life, with time bitcoin is being famous for the nature of anonymous. No one can know about your bitcoin and no one can steel it so people use bitcoin as they want to use it, but personally bitcoin has no connection to the criminality it can only increase or decrease in price, to change your life, nothing else, as I use bitcoin till start it has given me profit only.

Criminals will do crime no matter what you'll give them. Bitcoin is just an investment tool. You can use it for earning money. People are doing crime because they wanted to. They will do it with or without Bitcoin. Bitcoin has nothing to do with crime or criminals.

I agree bitcoin is used in criminal activities but paper money is used too so not a big deal because every currency will be used for negative things too if it is used for positive things.

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.

Bitcoi. really does, that is why some government don't give a chance for bitcoin to be their means of payment in their country. Bitcion do have advantages and disadvantages sadly one if its con is a added criminality on the world since it can be done worldwide. Criminals have taken for granted the anonymity when having transactions using bitcoin, and this really what criminal are looking for.

yesterday it was the first time when here at bitcointalk I send a 10 USD Amazon gift card, having faith and received mo bitcoin for it (as I was promised). The same thing happened when the other payment processors were at the beginning, you were buying something and that something never arrived. Yet today, on ebay there is plenty of junk sold for good money. Bitcoin is fast and because its anonimity the criminality is higher. One can find unhonest people everywhere, but this is not a thing to report to authorities, just next time be more attentive with your money and everything will be good.

Everything in this world have their advantage and disadvantages. Bitcoin also have this things. Since Bitcoin is a virtual digital money and the technology today is advance, they used cryptocurrency like Bitcoin in their activities because i think its easier that way.

Bitcoin becomes very useful for criminals who want to hide money from the proceeds of their crimes. Because if they save money in the bank, money from criminal proceeds can easily be tracked.
Bitcoin can also be misused by people who want to hide their income from the government, and avoid paying taxes. Then, the state revenue from the tax will be lost because the money can not be traced 

[bitbunnny]

Bitcoin is nothing more related to criminals than any fiat currency. But some think that Bitcoin is criminal currency because of Dark Web and more possibilities for money laundering. Some are also using Bitcoin for tax evasion and undeclared income but generaly I don't consider Bitcoin to be criminal or that is more misused than some other currency.

I don't think crime is related to bitcoin. Criminals use bitcoin to trade, but people do not know he is a criminal, so there is nothing wrong with investing in bitcoin. As long as we don't commit crimes, it's hard to know if he's survived.

[kalawang]

People does like to conect bitcoin with criminality always, its funny fiat is being used for several years to do soo many ilegal things that people looks like ignore it and now are focus into bitcoin, looks like only bitcoin is used to the ilegal stuff. Bitcoin can be traced, as long you know some details, fiat cant be traced and should be the real problem, its insane make bitcoin the only guilty taking only the negative use of the coin, while it had achieved soo many good things.

Bitcoin is anonymous and easy, which means its a favorite among criminals. In addition, Bitcoin is not completely untrackable. 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.

Bitcoin is anonymous so we should use it in positive way not in negative, people use bitcoin for different purpose but bitcoin does not have any concern with it, a lot of companies are taking the advantage of bitcoin they saved the economy of the country and many people have become jobbies with bitcoin, so if criminals use bitcoin it is not big deal as it is very far problem, as criminality was being done before the invention if the bitcoin so stop blaming bitcoin for it, as not bitcoin then they will use fiat but they will do what they want to do, think positive and be positive.

[svendoto23]

We can't really take off the bad things that can be involved in altcoins and bitcoin because of its nature and the anonymity of its user. It is just like the Famous Silroad Incedent where bitcoin is being used in buying illegal drugs and weapons even hire a mercenary.

As i have said in my earlier post in another thread that every thing has the darkest side along with the brightest side. Now the thing is its on the people how they use it. Those who are criminal if there were no btc, what you think they will stop and not fullfill their objective? The answer is no. Those who are seeking the path they eventually find the waym thats the rule of nature.
So poking nose on btc if it is using in a crime or not you should also bear in your mind that the way people are getting self dependent those who were jobless.
Its a blessing and a threat to mankind cause its us who commit crimes not btc.

As each coin has two sides, BTC also has bright and the dark side. With millions of advantages BTC has won the trust of millions of investors but except from all this, BTC has few limitations or disadvantages too. Being non regulating cryptocurrency, there is no governing body over it and hence there is no one to keep eye over it and this only limitation is used by some social deflauters in terrorism or other criminal activities but as soon as people come to know about the fate of BTC, government will centralized it and then no criminal activities could be possible with BTC.

On my mind more people participate in different kinds of activity related to Bitcoin the more authorities are worried about how to monitor, control and regulate people’s activity in the virtual area.

[rosalyn07]

For me i think not all criminals always use transactions to do with bitcoin and what if someone uses bitcoin because the popularity of economic expansion in every state really helps with that and yet depends on bitcoin users will be used for crime or goodness. Hopefully bitcoin development process so, as not to be abused from the use.

[Larrycool]

Life is full of up and downs therefore, everything has its pros and cons. Bitcoin has helped a lot of people with the funds it is giving. But with that, there are also people who takes advantage of its anonymity and how decentralized it is. Some said that bitcoin can be used to buy illegal drugs and had it posted that he had transaction for drugs before. So this goes to show that there are also loopholes in the system. With this, I think the admin of the system must develop ways to secure the users even safe-keep transactions for future reference.

[guiltyden]

I definitely believe that there is every possibility that the level of crime rate has increased due to the appearance of the btc, doing money laundering for example is more complicated than transferring millions in btc, btc is a unyielding currency so nobody can know in what is used and for what. It is not related only to crimes, but also to terrorism, you have to be realistic in this. We are dedicated to making money with btc, bad people are dedicated to crime and terrorism with btc

[rama666]

For the underworld, BTC is a very good currency. On the black market, it's already been for several years that illegal transactions with payment of BitCoin have been committed. Of course, petty criminals like quick profits, but for some, the anonymity of the transaction is very important. Now, in connection with the growth of currency criminals also want to get it. They generally do not care, the main thing is that anonymously and without intermediaries. If among those present there are such crimes, maybe they will open a small curtain and tell something)

Bitcoin leaves a digital trail. If you want to be truly anonymous, use black bytes by byteball. I do believe that if criminals are actually using bitcoin, the price will be wayyyy higher. This price is nothing compared to how much money is being transacted by mafias everyday. Sometimes real life is even more anonymous because you can meetup somewhere off the grid and you will not be traced by any CCTV. In movies, in order for them to have zero trail at all, they kill the people that knows about them or have a slight idea on what they are doing. In bitcoin, once you have sent money to an address, it will forever be in the public ledger. Anonymous or not?

I can't stress this enough but I do think that there's only a really small amount of criminals that are using bitcoin for their shady activities. First, if you have millions of dollars, are you going to put it in something that you are not really sure of the price? Are you going to put it to something which price goes up and down every single day. I think that people are exaggerated by the idea of deep web but that's just my opinion. I'm no deep web or bitcoin expert.

and what do you say about the mixers?  The way bitcoin transactions work causes them to be chained together in a permanent public record. They are traceable along the blockchain from one bitcoin address to another. Bitcoin mixer severs the links between your old address and a new address by sending coins from you to other people and coins from them to you. It also randomizes transaction amounts and adds time delays to the transactions. Generally there is no link between the original transactions and the final address of the coins. This process protects your privacy and prevents other people tracing your payments on the internet.
