Bitcoin Are Now Used in Crimes

[kevindeangelis]

It’s sort of true, many of us know, that there are some people or organizations that use bitcoin in crimes. It’s so sad, blockchain is a great technology and btc is great but there are plenty of crazy people to abuse it.

It is possible that bitcoin are now used in crimes. Since it's easy to switch from Bitcoin to cash, one can assume it's also fairly easy to launder this money, too. In other words, Bitcoin is a perfect transnational criminal currency.

Considering that bitcoin transactions can't be traced, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Gangs and other major criminals love the anonymity of the Dark Web, which is why so many of them opened up sites that allowed them to trade illicit materials, information, and more through it.

Bitcoin's anonymity meshed perfectly with the Dark Web, and criminal activity bolstered its value significantly.

Please note that in bitcoin we can not know who owns the address of a bitcoin wallet and until now there has not been a single party that provides services for prevention in case of crime in bitcoin so it is possible if the criminals understand and use this blockchain technology then the possibility very big for the crime. However, I do not agree if this blockchain technology is used for a variety of crimes, this technological development should we use to improve progress in various sectors, especially in the economic field of a country and its people.

Until now bitcoin is used for crime or illegal purpose and others are used by druglords, if they buy drugs they pay the bitcoin so they do not get caught by the police, so we need to be alert for everything to avoid.

Let's not forget the fact that fiat is also used illegally. But the truth should be said that BTC lessen the risk to be caught when you use it illegally though it doesn't mean that you can get away with it. Police nowadays should also upgrade since criminals are getting smarter day by day.

Bitcoin indeed used for wrong doings nowadays specially it's value keeps on getting higher. It keeps on being used as a ransom or a scam.

You can use almost any tool for criminal purposes. What if we ban knifes from being produced because someone can use it to kill people, what about the majority of people that use and needs knifes just to prepare his meal ? Some consensus must be reached and that consensus is that majority cannot pay for the minority doing bad.

Bitcoin is good but should be regulated to avoid such crimes, money laundering and illegal activities, but how to regulate it?  No one knows this beacuse no one know who is sending and receiving money and how to regulate?.

[Ram krish]

Yes bitcoin is used for crimes and illegal activities. Last year wannacry Ransomware hakers asked bitcoin. This is also a cause for crimes.

If Bitcoin is really privacy, why do the Korean and American government can catch many criminals recently? Internet is a freedom place to using, so, the data transfer through internet all can tracks by anyone, as long as you want to do that and spend much times to find crimial.

[Cryptoproff]

How do the criminals use it? I have never heard that bitcoin has been used or is involved in crime.
