Is bitcoin used by criminals ?

[MNtrio]

Absolutely everything can be used and used by bad people for criminal purposes. Because of this, you should not question the common right of people to anonymity on the Internet. Some people and structures are constantly raising this topic with the aim of discrediting the crypto currency. However, the cryptovata itself has nothing to do with it. Criminality is a purely law enforcement issue, and customs help them to do this.

I would agree my friend.It is using by criminal righ now.And I'm so sad for it because many scammers people used bitcoin by their own badly interest.

Well, I heard terrorists are breathing air, definitely this isn't a reason to prohibit breathing for everyone
You know, I live in Russia and our politicians say that Telegram is used by terrorists and finally they are trying to block Telegram in Russia. This is weird and i hate them for that. All sane people hate them.

Bitcoin is transparent and decentralized currency.criminals also use the bitcoin for their transactions.bitcoin transaction can make with anonymous names,they can make crime.

I once read an article that says bitcoin is used as a payment transaction for terrorists and hackers. And maybe you guys in this forum also already know it. But here i want to convey my personal opinion in that matter. I think that internet and bitcoin interrelated. Many terrorists and criminals use internet .so also with bitcoin which used perpetrator However, despite all these issues, do people make concrete efforts to ban the internet? No. Not because removing and banning Bitcoin is difficult, but because the internet offers more positive than negative. For the same reason, we have to be more careful about our mindset for Bitcoin, because much evidence has shown that Bitcoin brings many positive, if not more, effects than the internet. Internet and Bitcoin are just devices that 'bad guys' and 'good people'. Fortunately, the world is filled with more people in the 'good people' category.

I wish bitcoin is not being used in illegal stuff because I love bitcoin and it give me opportunity to earn and get high profit. And transaction are so easy and fast and cost are too low. Bitcoin change my life it give my needs that is why I love bitcoin so much. The reason why I love bitcoin is it can help me to earn money and it helps me to gain more knowledge about trading and investing.

yes they are using bitcoin, criminals use bitcoin because it is not traceable they can hide their illegal transactions easily. they use bitcoin to scam people also.

Any currency or payment system that allows transfer of value from one party to another can and will be used by criminals, be it Bitcoin, USD, or any other currency. That doesn't make Bitcoin or USD the culprit. Those who use it to fund those activities are the culprit.

[wilsonwilly1]

I've also read the same thing with you, used by criminals and so on. but we are good at using bitcoin today. we have to be wiser. do not let us also use it as a negative thing. for example gambling and the like.

[deepakg2m]

It may be used by criminals but it is also obvious that one cannot agree or disagree on this topic surely because you never know who is doing what in their personal life.Also even if it is being used we cannot do anything as other forms of money or financial sources are also being used by criminals.

[PIMPdev]

For sure people using bitcoin by criminals because its anonymous and easy to use black money on web. I think 99% of black money now in crypto.

[Jhun030383]

I think it's possible that criminals can use bitcoins in their wrongly doings. There are many reported news like here in our country that many people were victims of fraud investment programs and being believed that they will earn high profits through bitcoins. It's sad to see that it damages the name of bitcoin from the illegal works.

I agree with you. Bitcoin can be used as payment system thus, there's money involved. In other words, it is use by criminals because of the involvement of money. They are using the money negatively and a lot of innocent people are becoming victim.

Yes, so that the transactions cannot be easily trace.

[kidoseagle0312]

Yes it can be use by criminals or anyone who has bad purposes to use in any form of illegal activities. Which means good or bad users only a type of people who can use Bitcoin anyway.

[Kingjagat]

Every person are allowed to use bitcoin, even the criminals. Bitcoins has no limitations .BTC is a currency just like other currency and you can used it for any kind of activities.

I think the goods illegal is one reason why people think that bitcoin that bad. but if you think about it, what can be used by criminals or terrorist lately. I actually heard about bitcoin when I watch the video on the Web dark. said that bitcoin usually used there to buy drugs or illegal transactions.

[jame lie]

I have seen similar news on TV creates panic in investors BTC type of currency and similar things could be done with real life currency too.bitcoin can use by good and bad people, they can make cyber crimes with bitcoin .I think some people use it at criminal activities. That very shameful. They can earn money and use it at good sides. So they should be removed. Anyone can't stop bitcoin.

Sad to say but bitcoin is the easiest way for criminals to transfer or launder money as it is hard to trace. These are the cons for anonymity. Criminals will always find ways to transfer funds and the government also will find ways to catch them

Speculative bubble or no, perhaps the greatest challenge facing Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies in general, and the broader world of blockchain is the fact that all of these efforts in some way support criminal endeavors.

So what if it really is used by cons? They use Fiat more than crypto. Are you going to dump fiat for that reason now? no, right?  Because that will be dumb. The blacksmith made a knife. You can cut veg and fruits with that, or you can kill a man with that too. What you'll do with a tool is your choice and that doesn't make the blacksmith or the tool bad. Yes, maybe it made the life of the criminals little easier but it didn't start all those crimes right? So the problem is not with Bitcoin, it's with the system. Bitcoin was not around 15 years ago. Was the world free from crime back then? Think...

[PHP.guru]

I cannot say either yes or no. With the unique design of bitcoin to not show any true identification of the bitcoin user, it is hard to know whether the criminal using bitcoin to do bad things. The design of anonymous has it good and bad side.

[tvtoan1994]

We can't never know what people do with own money and with Bitcoin is the same thing, but media could tell this just for bring down the price of Bitcoin.
