Dark use of Bitcoin

[florapez777]

I prefer to buy stuff with Paypal, bank payments. Bitcoin is used to hide identity, but does so paypal and other payment option. If you think illegal stuff isn't bought by paypal, you wrong, it's not hard to open paypal under someones name.

I have never used Bitcoin for bad purposes, but I've often heard how people use crypto currency. Anonymity will always be used for different purposes

What a shame to avail bitcoin for illegal purposes. Well, we have our own rights to do whatever we think good and pleasing to our souls. But we should remember that we live once so why kill some lives of innocent? Everyone have its own family that we love. Much better to use bitcoin money to family than to use it for illegal uses.

Money laundering is one reason why people use Bitcoin to transfer money from one account to another account without leaving a trace since it would just past through the internet and no security. I don't say it to discourage your clean thought but the reality is the reality.

Some naughty kid was using Bitcoin to avail adult access on the internet since sometime Bitcoin wallet don't need age verification for its user, not all are dark but some kiddos are being naughty---

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

Bitcoin isn't anonymous coin, it is pseudo-anonymous. FBI arrests hackers, drug dealers and other criminal (who used bitcoin) on a regular basis

1) Are you used Bitcoin to buy illegal staff

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

Do you mean illegal stuff ?

I have never used bitcoins to buy the illegal products and I think people should also make clean use of the bitcoins.

 

I agree this is good for wide adoption. A good image on bitcoin can make people feel comfortable with it. Let's make illegal activities underground.

I will never use bitcoin to buy anything illegal. Whatever you decided to do, it will reflect on you in the future. It is not impossible not to trace illegal transactions even for Bitcoins but still, it can be done.

[Zohina]

So far I haven't made an illegal purchase with bitcoin. Actually there's no different to buy illegal using bitcoin and money chas. As long the seller receive cryptocurrency.

buying anything with any currency depends on the perpetrator itself, the cryptocurrency currency itself is only a tool, but usually for illegal purchases usually law enforcement agencies can track it from the movement of the goods, and also can track it from anywhere , so be wise to use bitcoin try to be used for the good alone.

[deppil]

Me, I don't use bitcoin in illegal transaction. Buy i think there are many people who use bitcoin illegally. They use it in gambling, drugs, terrorism and there is news that some people use bitcoin in money laundering.

Yeah we know that. bitcoin has a user of more than 10 million people with different purposes in using bitcoin. certainly among of them
some use bitcoin for illegal transactions. but because of the decentralized bitcoin they are free to use bitcoin as they wish

[maydna]

I think we have the option for using bitcoin for illegal or legal things but we need to remember that it is better to use bitcoin for legal things so we don't have to get any problem with our governments. and if you can do with legal then why you want to use the illegal way of using bitcoin and it could make you go to jail. and if we still use bitcoin for illegal things then I think it is a small chance for bitcoin to be accepted by the government because they see that bitcoin is only for illegal things and in the end, we are difficult to use bitcoin again.

[Carrelmae10]

..We have the option on how we are going to use and treat Bitcoin.. but for me it's No..I'm not using Bitcoin in illegal way,,the positivism that Bitcoin gives to me means a lot..I am using my Bitcoin in a good way..because this give me much pleasure that nothing else can replace..for i do believe in the power of it..How sad that many uses Bitcoin in a wrong way,,that could  probably result in misunderstanding and causes it to become permanently banned because on the wrong use it.

[Zohina]

Bitcoin provide anonymous transaction so it can't be trace easily but police still able to track down although they require more resource to find the suspect.
Because of this reason, my government still not legalize bitcoin in order to protect people from corruptor / money laundry etc

actually in tracking money laundering crimes, developed countries can trace through unusual money movements, possibly from quantities or from the purchase of suspicious goods and services, because the technology of developed countries is very supportive of interconnected financial systems. but it does not apply to developing countries whose financial oversight system is still very weak, so many developing countries are prohibiting the use of cryptocurrecy currency, one of them bitcoin, because they have not been able to control the movement of money, especially money laundering from corruption.

Criminals are increasingly using bitcoin for illegal transactions, preferring crypto-currencies, whose transactions are more difficult to track.

No, bitcoin was not created for this.

[mansilkroad]

1. no I've never bought anything illegal because I never needed to. 2. It's obvious that it's better to use cryptocurrencies to buy such stuff. Monero is being used for such purchases.

I have to disappoint you. Less and less Bitcoin transactions are used for illegal things. The number of serious transactions is increasing and the number of illegal ones is decreasing. You could read this in the news in the last weeks. Besides, it is not nice to use Bitcoin for illegal things, because he is only semi-annonymous. There are companies that have already analyzed the blockchain and know what Bitcoins are used for.

Crypto currency is often accused of being used for illegal purposes. However, another study showed that in fact only a small percentage of them are used for illegal operations. Currently less than 1% of Bitcoin-tokens are used for illegal operations.

Bitcoin used in a lot of bad things to hear in the mouth but i have never tried to use it in a bad way. I know it's very much used in the Dark Wave.
Personally i bought legal thing by using BTC.

1/ Define "illegal". What is legal in one country may be illegal in another. And some of the items which are not de jure legal may be de facto legal.
2/ It is up to you. If you get good deals with Bitcoin payments, then go with it.
