Yes like some people are using it to purchase weapons for terrorist, some news is saying that but they don't have proof of transaction, that's also a disadvantage of our crypto world, some news also saying that it may be used BTC to give money supply to ISIS but same situation, next is non-criminals can use it for some light crimes that they dont know its already a crime.

Of course, there are criminals who use bitcoins or other criptocurrency for payments. However, the same criminals use US $ for payments. Does it mean that US dollar is also criminal?

Did you know that every human being on this planet is carrying a illegal substance in their bodies at all times?

It's called "DMT" and it allows you to have dreams. So technically everyone is a criminal.

So if anyone were to use Bitcoin , or cash or anything else to pay for stuff , you'd still be a criminal?

Yes it is unfortunately bitcoin has been always connected to the criminals,
It is a perfect get away or a perfect currency for them ,Remember the Silk Road I think that's what started this whole thing bitcoin has been known because of it,
Bitcoin is also a perfect way for money laundering .

Yes criminals are everywhere and we cant stop them from doing those thing because that was their hobby now. Bitcoin can really be use by criminals since no one knwos about the transaction that was done between the people. Unfortunately, corruption was pne example of it, since no one knows about the transaction they can freely hide it in their account. They can also store it there instead of using bank.

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.

Faithful reflections. Year after year, new useful technologies are being created, but there are always people who use them in a harmful way and this is no reason not to develop.

It is quite possible that criminals are using bitcoin to transfer their funds and the reason is that you can not track bitcoin transactions. And i think this is the the main reason behind its legalization issue.

[speeder]

Since Bitcoin doesn't require a real identity i think that anyone can use this metod of payment. But i really don't think that this thing should stop development of Bitcoin and this whole market.After all everybody works for themselves in an idependent manner.

Bitcoin is a digital currency so most of the people used bitcoin not only criminals.

Yes Bitcoin is used by criminals. Because Bitcoin is open for everyone and there is no limit of using Bitcoin. there is permission for everyone to using Bitcoin. most of the criminals uses Bitcoin to pay to the people who works for them.

Those facts are really hurt but we have to accept that. Bitcoin is an open source with could be used by anyone even crinimals. They're all free to use Bitcoin without asking any permission from anyone. I think it's a bad thing but it's the reason for Bitcoin for using popular in the deepweb.

[kuyaJ]

I also first heard bitcoin was on some facebook page says that the criminals use bitcoin as payment for some torture that you can use bitcoin to pay for criminals to catch who you want then you paid bitcoin if you want suggest something that they will do to a person they catch.  It could be happen live.

Bitcoin also use to buy illegal firearms, called "Blockmarket".

The possibility is very large, criminals participate in the use of the Internet as well as bitcoin, the Internet and bitcoin is a public utility can / easy to use by anyone without any age restrictions nor state limits.

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.

True, both are greatly benefited by the existence of the internet and bitcoin. With this facility they (both criminals and good people), can interact or transact in accordance with their own needs.

I agree with you. the government should be more open to the eyes of bitcoin and cryptocurrency because many people are economically assisted by bitcoin. should the government not only see the bitcoin from the negative side only

[Desperaboss]

Yes it is used by criminals as well as cash because both of them are anonym in usage but that does not mean it is a bad thing per se.

this is real that there is some criminal that are had been used this currency for what may ever they have to done for so we are out of that this is their concern for that they may have to face for even though that they have been used this for in crime or anything else.

[Anamika143]

Yes, some people says bitcoin used by criminals it is rarely true. I heard very few people usd bitcoin by crime. But very most people use bitcoin in commerce for earn money. This is valid.

Hi,

Cash is still the first currency for criminal organizations and first of all us dollar. I was very surprised when I read (it was in 2009) that 90 % of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine : 90% !

I don't think it has changed a lot.

Note that fiat transactions can be tracked by governments. Buyers an sellers can be prosecuted. But there are no control on bitcoin transactions. So there is a big difference. That's why governments worry.

of course, I'm sure many criminals are using Bitcoin for their crimes transactions, and that we can not avoid
