I think that the problem of drugs and crime is not in the field of crypto currency. These are common problems of mankind. They existed always, even when there was not yet a crypto currency. And undoubtedly will exist, even if bitcoin disappears. So, you should not blame new technologies for this.

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?

That is a view that is very hard for us to erase especially with how the media and most of the governments has reacted to bitcoin and the whole of the cryptocurrency market can really show. What we must do is in our own levels and surroundings be able to guide and navigate the misconceptions and be able to adapt and share and promote the right and correct knowledge so that we all do not falter and revolutionize what bitcoin is to us.

Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that is designed to help people. This is made to have an easy and faster transactions. I hope this is not used by bad people that are taking advantage of the system. Most of the people are using this in a good way.

This is not impossible, if you use bitcoin in not good thing or in not good purpose then it will lead also in not so good result that can harm or affect the users sometimes worst it can also kill people.

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.

Crypto currency is not about killing to us but to help is always in terms of calamity and emergency that really builds us to become richable person.

I do not think that way, cryptocurrency users are not bad people who can only use cryptocurrency for crime, but cryptocurrency is more used by people both as currency and investment. Fiat currency can also be used for crime.

It is never the tool that kills people it is the person or the people behind it. You cannot blame guns for having war, we have to be accountable with our own actions, some things can be an instrument of bad things but people are the ones who make things happen. All our actions are based on our decisions and choices so if we fall into greediness, should we blame money or ourselves?

Yes, I agree with you, that cryptocurrency depends on the user of the cryptocurrency. Do not always blame cryptocurrency, which should be blamed is the person who uses cryptocurrency for negative things. Cryptocurrency that I think is like money, money can be used for anything. Can be used for the positive, can also be used for the negative.

not just bitcoins that kill people. $ 5 is also capable of killing people. $ 5 is used to buy a knife then the knife is used to kill someone. so bitcoin is just currency.

Another round of negative propaganda by Bill Gates. I would say that the number of people who have lost their lives as a result of Bitcoin is much lower than the number of those who lost their lives as a result of various actions by the Microsoft. Legal action by Microsoft against smaller competitors have ruined a lot of people and destroyed the career of lot many.
Although this is a kind of propaganda, if this is said by a person like Bill Gates, people will listen. The voice of the great figures like him, can be said to be able to influence the opinion of most people. They're recognized for having high credibility. I don't know, clearly Gates is smart people, all the actions he did must have a purpose, maybe there is something hidden from Gates.

I do not believe cryptocurrency kills people, so old people using btc will not kill people, if bitcoin is used for bad things will kill the person itself. Like buying drugs, marijuana, heroin, etc.
all depends on ourselves whether to be positive or negative

for some speculation bill gates may be true. but I think most of those who play in cryptocurrency people who do not have a steady job and cryptocurrency have a plus value that is opening the land of work. I was disappointed with bill gates with what he said. And it is impossible to kill the proof that play crypto is mostly lucky and happy.

Bitcoin is not as scary as you think. If we know how to use bitcoin then bitcoin is very useful for everyone. This money alone does not kill anyone, it does not have the ability. Although Bill Gates said: "The main feature of electronic money is anonymity. I do not think it is a good thing. The government can detect that money laundering, tax evasion and terrorist financing are good. "
However, e-money believers still believe that the scattering, rapid transfer of money from one country to another at low cost is an attractive feature of electronic money.

I think, it probably depends on the people who are using cryptocurrency, if you will use it in a good way then the result will be definitely good as you think. And if you'll use it in a bad way then expect to be in a bad result or situation. The things that you will do can affect your future. So, you must use bitcoin properly for you to be in a good condition.

Are you even on your right mind when you chose to agree with this? I mean, let me ask you these questions so you can better well assess yourself:

1) When did cryptocurrencies start to surface?
2) When did buying and funding of drugs, warship, human trafficking, pornography, among others, start to take place?

Your answer in number 1 will help you recall that at the time cryptocurrencies began to surface, all of those mentioned in number 2 were already in existence and are widely recognized worldwide. Hence, it is wrong for you to say that those mentioned in number 2 only took place upon the onset of cryptocurrencies.

I agree with your opinion. Electronic money is born, it has many benefits and also exists many negative. Electronic money is good or bad depending on the purpose of the user. If the electronic money used to buy weapons for terrorist purposes is bad.
