Dark use of Bitcoin

[reliable]

the problem is that the same things some people use in positive things and other people use them in a negative way, but this has always happened with all things and will continue to happen, before these people can not do anything

Misuse of bitcoin is what is threatening many countries government because no one would like something which can ruin their people or it has side effects on their economy. Thus few countries are strict on busing such which cannot be easily traced or reached to the culprit.

Anyone can use this bitcoin in any way either good or the dark way . Because here we are not traced because we are using anonymous account  .  And that is a disadvantage .

Please think of it like a knife. So, knife is a tool that makes life easier. but people can be killed with it.
I think this is on the dark use of bitcoin.

1) Are you used Bitcoin to buy illegal staff

2) which better to buy legal things  Bitcoin or Normal Bank system (PP,payeer,cash ,.............)

I often go to the deep web and browse some drug sites like silk road and they make payments with bitcoin. Maybe because the bitcoins are not traceable, it makes it easier for people to do illegal things like drugs, illegal weapons, and others. Therefore bitcoin is widely used for illegal purposes because it seems impossible for ordinary people to buy something with bitcoin at least for now.

Four primary areas of criminal activity lend themselves to cryptocurrency: tax evasion, money laundering, contraband transactions, and extortion – not to mention the theft of cryptocurrency itself, which is all too easy with Bitcoin.

1/ No i don't use Bitcoin to buy illegal stuffs because that's violated the laws which could easily bring me to jail and i don't want to lose my freedom.
2/ I think it's depending on which stuffs you're buying, if you're looking for legal stuffs so i think it should be fit with paypal or fiats more than Bitcoins because they will support you the method payment.

Things like this can destroy the good name of Bitcoin. If more and more people are using Bitcoin in negative ways, Bitcoin's reputation can be ruined and people who do not believe in Bitcoin will hate it even more. We recommend using Bitcoin in a positive way. Please do not blame Bitcoin for doing this for the common good.

Bitcoin may be anonymous, but once you convert your coins to fiat, that anonymity is lost. Also, when you purchase something from the deep web with Bitcoin, you will be giving your shipping address to the vendor. That can be traced back to you.

The use of this dark Bitcoin can cause the development of Bitcoin to be bad. Bitcoin names can be ugly all over the World. This is not very good for Bitcoin's future. And if this is not prevented, I'm sure Bitcoin cannot last long. So let's use Bitcoin for more positive and useful things.

What you said doesn't make sense... Isn't cash/fiat used for bad things just as much as Bitcoin (or even more)? This doesn't even come close to being the cause of Bitcoin dying...

Me - I have never used bitcoin for some illegal transactions, but heard that some people do buy drugs with the usage of bitcoin

Since bitcoin entered our community and society many people though of ways to make transactions illegal, just like buying illegal drugs, making bribe for government officials which we cannot control, but the thing is that although we don't have bitcoin we cannot eliminate crimes.

You can buy legal and illegal stuff with your own paper moneys/Fiat moneys and it is the same with Bitcoin as it is not an exemption to the rule of money, as long as you can spend valuable things in exchange of other things whether it is good or bad. It is just a matter of who will gonna use the money though and we all know the saying 'Money is the root of all evil' so meaning it is evil but if you use it in a good way then it is not. It just happened that Bitcoin is an international digital currency but it is still 'Money'.

i am not used to buy illegal stuff, i agree with you its  up to you what kind of money fiat or crypto you can use it to buy any legal or illegal things or services, in my opinion i would rather use fiat money on buy legal things and paying everything in our daily lives, Buying illegal things like drugs, weapons, illegal services these are the things the i won't do, there are also chance that you might caught and that is the end of you.

I do not use Bitcoin at all in the dark. I use Bitcoin just naturally like I use in investment assets and online payment tools. I do not want to make the name Bitcoin so bad and will have an impact on its development.

If I try to imagine myself that I am in the situation of doing trading some illegal drugs that can be paid by bitcoin. I think it is not safe by doing that for it is illegal then bitcoin can be counterfeit the original image and they can possibly make it as payment. Same with money but the most harder that not acceptable is cryptocurrency as payment.

People can really attempt to do it, I don't that the reason is the poverty that is why they are doing bad things as there are lot of opportunities out there, they are just lazy enough to explore things, what they just want is to have an easy money, they don't care what will happen to the affected person that pays as a consequence with their moves.

I can't  understand why do people say that bitcoin is the greatest threat to our safety...Today cash(and credit cards on the web) is the dominant payment method that is used in society,So if you use your money carefully there will not be intermediaries and you will do everything what you want by your cash,At the same time,when we are talking about the dark side of bitcoin we must notice that this coin is not anonymous to the same level as cash is...Bitcoin is just an idea behind the cryptography and we mustn't see unreal problems in it...In additional when we are talking about decentralization and when people consider bitcoin as a criminal tool they must take into account that bitcoin is anonymous only for ungrounded interferences and intermediaries.

All of them could be used as a tool for committing illegal activities and there is no way to totally eliminate them all that is why it is up to although with or without bitcoin, crimes will be anywhere and we cannot avoid it to happen.

It may be used as a tool for committing illegal activities but I told that investigations for investigative authorities may be easier than in another situation...Why? People blindly say that bitcoin is perfectly anonymous but they don't know that bitcoin adresses are hashes of public keys,we don't use our real names but we use pseudo names,We use our  public key hash as our identity,So linking a Bitcoin address to a real-world identity is easy for special,investigative authorities and for them who know computer sience.Especially,All we know that majority of exchanges ask for our identificial information,For example card number,driving licence,etc...Anyway pseudoanonymous doesn't mean full anonymous,because of one simple reason it can be deanonymized by other people. But for me its not the greatest threat to decentralization,because we need balance between public security and other rights...

Yeah in term of traceability crypto currency can easily be traced it is in the cyber world money  trail can easily be traced unlike paper money that is not run through computer system and easily be faked. If I were a criminal  I will hesitate to use crypto currency because it traceable.
