Cryptocurrency kills people

[tokexchain]

Bill Gates is propping up the blue chip financial systems of the USA and world over. As with many news outlets and sources, including well timed and aligned RSS feeds, there is always an underlying factor to the both good and bad news that creates swings and opportunities to further obtain assets.

Yea that's right Bitcoin can kill people if they use bitcoin in wrong way. That's same if we play hand phone while driving that's will be danger for us and that's can make get accident, that's same with bitcoin. Then how about if we are use bitcoin for investment and use it in good way? We can earn the profit from there. Technology more sophisticated, so don't set the technology as the king to be you are not killed by the technology

You should base your reasoning on some proof. Lind to the article please.

Accepting that that was said by Gates it would be a silly article because the same could be applied to $ and nobody is saying that US dollars kill people.

I think this is the article what OP is talking about.

I agree that to some extent cryptocurrency can kill people in a way that it can be used as a mode of transaction to pay for those terrorist attacks and other illegal activities but then all other mode of payments can kill people as well because as long as it is accepted in the market and maybe untraceable then the people behind those activities will use it like dollar, euro, and even precious metals.

Bill Gates put emphasis on anonymity of the transaction why cryptocurrency is used for illegal activities but there is still more anonymous than crypto and it is cash. You cannot easily trace cash if you transact it physically with no trace of online transfer.

People dont die because of bitcoin, they die because of the terrorists or drug dealers that are killing them because the police or army cant stop them. Bitcoin may be just a way to hide their money and transactions but do you think that if bitcoin disappears no more people are going to get killed? No, because terrorists are still going to do their job and they are going to find a way to buy guns. Same with drug dealers, do you think they are going to stop selling if bitcoin would disappear? Of course no because they can also make and hide their money in other ways.

I dont think there really is a big problem with bitcoin and terrorists or drug dealers probably only for the big guys who make serious business of millions of dollars(because I dont think a small drug dealer would waste his time selling drugs for 50$ with bitcoin) but even they have to exchange their bitcoins into cash so that the transaction will appear on the bank records.

It's a very absurd statement, all currencies can kill people, I'm very surprised at such an unsubstantiated statement from a man like Bill Gate ...

Ive read an article about Bill Gates saying that cryptocurrencies kills people. He explained that crypto provokes people to hide thier financial transactions from the government, and revolutionizing terrorism, financial crime etc. Some people use crypto to buy drugs, bombs, guns that are use for drug dealing and terrorism that kills people 'in a fairly direct way'

I think Gates is somehow right about this. But i think it depends on the people who are using cryptocurrency, if they will use it in a good way or in a bad way. What do you think?

Bill Gates was right. It could be used to support terrorism and other things that's illegal. It doesn't actually kill people, people kill people. Even with how much money you have if you don't use it for something bad then it does not become evil. But when a person used it, then it is the most evil thing that kills people. But because bitcoins are easily transferred unlike the real currency, it would be easy to use these coins as what Gates stated. For this reason many feared its usage could end up bad and into the wrong hands.

Bill Gates shows his idiocy in that statement. He blames cryptocurrency but does not blame fiat. Fiats are used the same way as cryptocurrency decades and centuries ago and I don't even hear/read any complain against fiat. Fiat is used to "buy drugs, bombs, guns that are used for drug dealing and terrorism that kills people" long before the existence of cryptocurrency. Stating that cryptocurrencies kill people is a statement of an ignorant imbecile person, thus, Bill Gates.

Do you know when war start? When terrorism start? If you know then its good.
All the crime in the world include terrorist has been existed for more than a decade. So no reason that bitcoin is caused that crime.

95% of illegal transactions are made with fiat, not cryptocurrencies. No one is using crypto to buy drugs and other illegal stuff except maybe Monero or other privacy coins.

Bitcoin and most other coins are not private.

[Mei1418]

true, depending on the person using it, whether for positive or negative, from bill gates story maybe we can take conclusion to be more careful because negative people ammunition is bigger because support from crypto

I think he has a specific reason to comment on that. I think that bitcoin and cryptcurrency have their advantages and the fairness of transparency may be the opportunity for terrorist organizations to use crypto as a powerful tool to carry out murder. That may be one of the reasons the government does not accept the legality of bitcoin and crypto.

[irsada]

let him bill gates argue maybe he is a person who does not like the crypto world.
are not we here expressing our own mindset about bitcoin.
which obviously can kill anyone depending on how the person is using it.
try to think wisely and do the best you can do today, you will definitely get a satisfactory outcome in the future.

you know i did hear that before many time, (that terrorism uses bitcoin to get food and equipment) by gates and other well-knowns people in my country but it always occurs to me they always say such things without any proof iam not saying that crypto doesn't  have some illegal user.  it has but i don't think its that easy for terrorists to use it and i dont think  the terrorism will stop if we stop using crypto they will sure find another  way
so, in general, they wanna find any way to stop cryptocurrencies because they are afraid of it.  not talking about gates  because gates also said alot of good things about bitcoin in a lot of meetings before his company even uses bitcoin.iam talking about the people who fails to catch terrorists so they blame it on anything else

I agree with you. Everything is dependent on each. If we use Bitcoin with good things it will not happen. I really hope for everyone to use the cryptocurrency as well as possible.

Bill Gates himself is a crypto fanatic. In fact, he has a huge investments in it. Maybe that is just his opinion about the negative side of Bitcoin. Everything in this world has pros and cons. We cannot removed that fact. On the positive side, Bitcoin is giving life to other people because it is opening lots of opportunities for growth not only financially, but also socially and individually.

Hammers kill people.
Baseball bats kill people.

Quite a few things kill people.

So Bill Gates is correct if he said  cryptocurrency can be used to kill people.

Diamonds kill people
Oil kills people
Coal kills people
Gasoline kills people

Diesel fuel kills people ----------  Look what Volkswagen did  set up  the cars pc to cheat on pollution  sending out 100x the pollution  how many people died from this?

And btw they used pc's  so Mr Gates  Software kills people.  

made me laugh lol😂😂😂..but this means one thing everything mentioned kills people if not uses properly,and bill gates riding in crypto popularity as he is popular already,this kind of news only publicized to gain another traffic but nothing more.

What he has said has got some truth in it, because during the early days of bitcoin into the world got its usage on gambling, on drug exchange and on large volume transactions which cannot be done through banks. Now things have changed with more people giving importance to bitcoin as an investment rather than asset for illegal need, even when there are people who are using it for wrong cause.

[Nerman]

I do not know if Bill Gates actually said it because the link did not have any articles but yes it is true that cryptocurrency kills people but if you are going to use that logic, basically everything kills people.

Food kills people specially in poor community.
Oil/diamonds/ precious metals - just check our world history billions have died because of those resources.
Obviously Fiat as everyday there are crimes reported about it.

I will not make the list any longer but you get the point.
