Is bitcoin used by criminals ?

[oracleongoodbye]

Everything is used by criminals, not just Bitcoin. For sure, the great majority of the criminals are using fiat. The more dangerous ones are definitely using fiat. They are the ones who are wearing suits and are occupying high positions in the governments of different countries and in the top executive positions of various international companies. In the low level, even scissors and frying pans and pins are used by criminals as well.

You know I have no any doubts no matter are bitcoins used by criminals or not because even DOLLARS or EUROS can be used by bad guys. I think if  guys from governments will think better then they will legalize it and then good guys pay taxes and bad guys go in jail! That's all! But they have  another plans)

Bitcoin is money so it can be using by every person of the society and money can be used by every one so we can not say that bitcoin can be using for criminal activities and it is done through online way they can use this currency for illegal activities which is not a good way so it is not the fault of bitcoin but it is the fault of the person who who is doing illegal activities i want to grow bitcoin and the users are advised to use bitcoin for a good purpose because this currency was designed for the convenience of the people.

Ofcourse even bitcoin using by the criminals and Computer hackers are involve to criminals too and they using bitcoin because bitcoin transaction are anonymous they can't even trace the hackers, And real criminals that killing people are using bitcoins too just explore about deepweb people paying bitcoin to hire killer and even buying illegal drugs it uses bitcoin even Pornography due to bitcoin anonymity.

Because Bitcoin's trading process is difficult to control, and Bitcoin is decentralized, it is easy to be used by criminals. This is unavoidable. Only pay more attention when trading.

Yes I've heard it, not just bitcoin used by criminals, even dollars and euros are also used by criminals. So blame the criminals who abuse bitcoin, because they are useless people.

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 don't have any news or hear some humor that bitcoin is already use by criminals we can not say they are Criminals if we don't have any evidence at all

Everyone can use Bitcoin both by good and bad people. Not only the criminals, terrorist but also the fraud people. Bitcoin is a currency in which if fiat can be use by anyone  and for anything it will be all the same for Bitcoin too.

Most probably there are criminals using bitcoin as payment for illegal deals with drugs, weapons or even slaves. It's the dark shadow on cryptos reputation.

[hot_ads]

BTC is one of the many ways of dealing with criminals. By using BTC as a means of payment, you can avoid the supervision of many government departments.

[Jcabudx]

It wasn't criminal. Because some users including me is just a student who use bitcoin to support my daily budget.

it is very sad indeed to see if the technology created to reduce criminal and transparent acts so in use and abused by criminals
Bitcoin has been widely used by criminals although the news that covered about it has not been widely spread.

[vergel24official]

Bitcoin has also a dark side. Because it is a digital money it is prone to hacker. It is also used by criminals because of its anonymity, they can transact illegal things untraceable.

[BingoDog]

Bitcoin is used by criminals, this is nothing new. They always look for new ways how to make money illegaly, how to launder money and how to escape low in any way. Bitcoin is still harder to trace than fiat transactions so it's convenient for criminals. But you don't have to look further from darknet markets, this is example how bitcoin is used for illegal purposes.

[lionjuvs08]

Not only bitcoin, but also other currency, because we do not know what kind of people who uses bitcoin, even the good or bad people,but bitcoin did not intended to use it in criminal act. No matter what but the bitcoin is more useful in a good ways.

[desi92]

I think that's just the opinion of some people. Not everything in bitcoin is a criminal, only a small part I think. Indeed bitcoin is difficult to track because it is anonymous. So surely there are some criminals who use this as a place they cheat or other.

Thats one of the weakness of bitcoin but its not big deal which can lead bitcoin down in price.
Its normal if something popular like bitcoin can be used for everything include criminal.
Dont only think that its used for criminal but also think its used for donation.

While Bitcoin might actually turn out to be one of the safest and least ‘bad’ ways to use money, it doesn’t mean that criminals don’t use it. Just like normal money, they do. But there are two important things to note - firstly, that as more data becomes available in the industry, the more it is becoming clear the number of bad uses is very, very minute - if the entire Bitcoin ecosystem is represented by a big mountain, the size of the bad parts is a couple of rocks. Second, that in any financial system, this is a risk that can never be eliminated, merely mitigated, and Bitcoin has some of the best tools in the world for that.

[Ronni]

We cannot say that all bitcoin are being transacted by criminals, maybe it is because of some hear-say opinions that we hear from somebody. Yes, there are chances that bitcoin can be used by criminals because there are deeper parts of the internet that certain people can access. Like what we are seeing in movies where there are people transacting or hiring a killer using bitcoin and also buying different illegal drugs and weapons, it can happen in real life to, we dont know, the internet is too broad and no one knows what lies beyond.

Any form of currency has illegal users,  I guess the anonymity of bitcoin  makes it favorite among criminals to make any illegal activities. Bitcoins lack regulation and there is no way to retrieve bitcoins that has been stolen,  so it is easy to stole it and run away.

How come have you never heard about Silk Road - the biggest darknet platform? After its founder (Ross Ulbricht) was arrested in 2013 FBI seized about 26k BTC from accounts on Silk Road and 144k BTC from Ross Ulbricht's personal account! The truth is BTC is no longer truly anonymous cryptocurrency.
