The issue is unfortunately bonded to Bitcoin, because of spreading news from other people, that just want to destroy cryptos. Masses are easily brainwashed and they can't realize that Bitcoin (or cryptos) are safe and legal and that criminals just use them for their dirty jobs, because of their safety.
So the question here is "we keep going on this way, or we may lower safety and anonymity for tracking down these criminals?"

I think it is not, bitcoin is not illegal but bitcoin has no regulations and regulations that explain that bitcoin is licensed across countries, so there are still many who consider illegal bitcoin.

From recent news in India it is heard that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..I know its a currency and it is also used as a normal money... but these can create a bad space in people's mind that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..so they will not use bitcoins... Conclusion is that BTC is also a currency which is having a high value in the market..and bitcoins must not be used in these illegal activity which can reduce its usage and value.

I think the problem is there for every user. Because bitcoin itself is not used for illegal and negative things. Perhaps the gap in bitcoin for illegal activity exists, but that does not mean that bitcoin is a negative thing. Then use bitcoin wisely and do not need to do illegal actions with bitcoin.

Well, it is not the problem with Bitcoin but the human involved. There are also cases whereby people buy and sell drugs or involve in any illegal activities using fiat.

yes i agree is not the bitcoin itself because many people who can job illegal they think what is the best way to do a fast transaction that's why they using a new method for illegal purposes.

We can't blame bitcoin if there are people using it in illegal ways. That is their choice. But still it affects those people who doesn't know about bitcoin. It can give negative thoughts to the people.

I think there's been a lot of rumors involving bitcoin. yes we agree it will make a negative value on crypto. but I think, in fact it is very difficult to prevent it.

One of the reasons bitcoin is so popular among criminals is that this virtual currency allows its users not to use their real identity. However, transactions are not entirely anonymous, because every transaction is recorded by blockchain. So why are many bitcoins in misuse.

This is true in some cases since bitcoin as we all know it, offers the users complete anonymity over peekers on the internet. However, I think criminality that involves bitcoin is far more lesser than the amount of crimes commited using fiat currency. I think this should clarify doubts and fears as well as hatred on the said cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin in itself  does not support illegal activities in anyway. However some people (fraudsters) are making things difficult for bitcoin users. An omission or addition  of just a single character in the website address can cause you a lot. Therefore to be free from illegal activities, be vigilant and let every secret code or password be kept as a secret.

Bitcoin is highly anonymous, it is difficult to track transactions with bitcoin, so illegal activities often use bitcoin to avoid government tracking. I think that in the future there will be a way to manage bitcoin transactions so that governments will accept bitcoin as the best means of trading.

Some countries used bitcoin for illegal . Which we are not helping our country to promote. Illegal thing makes Us also suffer in the end . So if that so You must do good by using bitcoin. Because many people will be affected because of this . Dont be too greedy when it comes to money, just work hard and earned.

I hope that this is not true. Bitcoin has help a lot of individuals, there are a lot of families who are now dependents on it. In some countries it reduces unemployment rate and increase economic growth. Bitcoin is good for us i hope illegal activities will not be part of it.

Bitcoin or any currency have no right to enter into a trade, it the holder of that currency. Bitcoin is just a currency used like fiat currencies to legal or illegal activities, depending the persons and their goals.

bitcoin is not for illegal activity but it is not for people if they abuse it. Because they have bitcoin for their children's money. they are bitcoins as well so everyone is different but the deskarti is legal or illegal activity

Bitcoin mainly used for illegal money transaction and anti money laundering issue. Because transaction by bitcoin can't be trace and no third party interfere. Due to this many terrorist organisation and criminal people use bitcoin. Kidnapping, child pronography, murder like activities also done with help of bitcoin.

I don't see bitcoin as used for illegal activities infact Bitcoin for me is the new hope of future but it depends on the people how they see bitcoin works maybe it is possible bitcoin can use as illegal activities like transaction of drugs and guns and other criminal doings. But still it depends on the people if they will use it in bad or good way.

This has been attached to bitcoin even during its early days. Maybe because of the decentralized and private nature of bitcoin. But its not the technology but the bad intentions of the people using it are the ones making bitcoin looks bad.
