Is bitcoin used by criminals ?

[bajigur894784]

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.

Yes, I totally agree with you, although bitcoin is used for crime transactions, bitcoin is just a tool, it should not be a bad image of bitcoin. it should not be the reason to make bitcoin banned.

Criminal are choose every way for crime so i think bitcoin transaction is the one of way for them and maybe they use it for crime so its not good that bitcoin use for negative activity because its made for those people who want to earn some extra money for easy life.

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

At the core of Bitcoin including the silk road, sometimes I miss those days. Bitcoin really has a very active past. In everyday life there will always be crime and criminals, and Bitcoin should respond to the need to remain strong.

Yeap of course crimanals can use BTC like other people. But also criminals can use USD or other moneys like other people. In this case US goverment will never stop supply cash.

We are now enjoying the latest trend in online transaction,  it makes our life more easy because of bitcoin we can transfer our money easily.  Of course,  criminals maybe doing the same thing,  even if they are criminals they are still human that can adopt the latest trend.

Yes Bitcoins has been used in the dark market before as a form of payment. but that shouldn't be any form of concern as BTC is open for everyone to use and cannot be limited to anyone,

[drukoz2]

Believe me, this information has nothing to do with reality. Criminals can use absolutely any currency. This is just another way to create a negative image of bitcoin.

[valendra15]

not everyone makes bitcoin as a form of digital fraud there is also a use as a container of information

Yes Bitcoins has been used in the dark market before as a form of payment. but that shouldn't be any form of concern as BTC is open for everyone to use and cannot be limited to anyone,

but what about dollars and other fiat money? aren't they used by criminals? everyone saw the cases of dirty dollars as a payment for drugs and weapons in different films. so bitcoin is just another tool and there is no need to make it guilty in all sins.

Anyone can use it for whatever actions they want to use it for just like with money.
Except bitcoin as with any other cryptocurrency just makes it easier to transmit the funds to the buyer thats all.
They do not think of it being able to be traced back to the scence of the crime but that is their mistake.
So it shouldn't be bitcoin infact to be under the microscope but the ones which can not be traced.
Dash, monero and zcash.

I met an article that stated that only a small percentage of all transactions made with bitcoin belong to illegal payments. Therefore, attributing bitcoin to criminals is nothing more than a myth.

Bitcoin guarantees anonymity. There is no bank to make transactions and for this bitcoin can be used by crime, in the same way as cash.

I saw that article also it said less than 1% is used for those things

Bitcoin is money, and money has always been used for legitimate and illegal purposes. Cash, credit cards, and the modern banking system greatly outperform Bitcoin in terms of their use to finance crimes. Bitcoin can bring significant innovation to payment systems and the benefits of these innovations are generally considered to be much overlapping their potential drawbacks.

[kseniyu]

Real money has exhausted its resource, now large payments are made online, no one transfers from hand to hand large amounts of cash. Bitcoin is more profitable, it is anonymous and can be sent to anyone regardless of its location. Criminals of course convenient to use bitcoin, but we believe that they do not.

[AnnaGeraMsk]

my opinion is not good or bad, is how to break a window with a chair bad or good? Esl just break it is not good, but if you break in the event of fire, the window is good that thought of)) so here and everywhere there are two sides! a question as you understand and you are in the system or higher than it!)

[Monette2k17]

Yes, bitcoin can used by criminals because it is anonymous. Even the current money can use by crimanals so the bitcoin also they can use it for their illegal activity

[bright4mech]

Bitcoin is crypto currency, that is use for online buying and selling of goods and properties across the nation, in a digital way, by making life easy.
