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.
Exactly, there are alot of positive impact which bitcoin offers to us. However it is true that BTC can be used as a payment on black market that is used by terrorist which is unfavorable for the governments.

They used Bitcoin as payment in black market and they are hiding their identity in able for them to be anonymous. They are transacting other people wihout presenting their idenity. However, This is just a fact that terrorist doing ahout Bitcoin. Not just bitcoin, They also used other altcoins nowadays.

The real criminals are the one's printing fiat, collecting taxes and sellings weapons around the world.
Criminals are the one whom perform unnecessary act or which is abiding the law. Some criminals uses tools in performing crimes. Thus, BTC can be used by those criminals in their unaccepted act.

Transaction fees right now are so high that for criminals, it is more logical and practical to use fiat than crypto. So it is safe to say that no criminals or organizations use crypto as a medium of transacting money.

Currently, few people use bitcoin for anonymous transfer or money laundering, and most people just use bitcoin as an investment product, so I don't think it is necessary to discuss this topic.

Asking whether criminals use bitcoin is tantamount to asking whether criminals use money. Of course they do, havent you heard of the deep web, silkroad etc. What currency do you think they use?

Public blockchain is traceable so it would be and idiotic move for a terrorist to use this.

It depends on who uses it. We cannot stop people such as terrorist who used BTC to do bad things. From my point of view, BTC has many pros and cannot be denied because of criminals used by BTCs. We can use them to buy goods as well and make the difference according to the blockchain technology.

Every person are allowed to use bitcoin, even the criminals. Bitcoins has no limitations on whom person were allowed. Even a common people who has the money to invest on it.
Yes, you are right. There is no limit to ownership of bitcoin, bitcoin can be owned by anyone. So it's not true if they think bitcoin is used by criminals for crime.

Everything is possible, but it is worth saying that dollars are also used by scammers. Therefore, I do not think that it is worth considering the prohibition of bitcoin, because it is used by criminals.

One of Bitcoin's best feature is anonymity. Sadly, this is being used also in illegal activities. But, you don't really need Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to transact your illegal deeds. Even without Bitcoin, illegal activities will still be there and there's ton of ways where you can transact something for your illegal activities. This is reason, that Bitcoin is bad because it is being used by shady people is just being used by those who are against Bitcoin.

Yes we have to face this bitter truth that bitcoin is being used by criminals for buying illegal things like guns and weapons or to pay someone for doing something.Criminals love using bitcoins because of its anonymousity.It keeps their identity and location hidden,so they have no fear of being caught by someone.But yeah as the OP says there too many good things about bitcoins too.So one can't just oppose bitcoins because it is being used by criminals.We should just accept the fact and move on that everything in this world has a good as well as a bad side.

Yes, many criminals because of the currency dispersion and anonymity choose to use COINS as a crime, but I think it's just part of the very few, most criminals are still use fiat money, so we cannot for this reason the currency is prohibited

You know, it seems to me that bitcoin is used by criminals much less often than dollars. This is just an attempt to create a negative image of bitcoin.

Well spoken. I love your idea of criminals. I believe the same. Everybody or everyone is a potential criminal if we break the rules set by the higher ups and the very few elite then we became criminals. And them they are the one setting the rule of the game and now bitcoin change that everyone has given a chance to play a fair play. I say there is equality in bitcoin.

Everyone is free to use bitcoin, with anonymous features so I'm sure that many transactions are used for criminal activities such as the cost of terrorism, drugs, money laundering and so on, but I do not think this is a reason for all countries banned bitcoin.

Yes, we have to admit that criminals use bitcoin. But the percentage of these transactions, according to news sources, is minimal. About 5 per cent. I think it's too small a number to take seriously.

I've read an article in which hitmans, trackers, and hackers are payed with Bitcoins, and is also used for illegal transactions especially underneath the surface web. But do keep in mind that this also happens in all types of currencies.
