[Pain Packer]

Bitcoin could become illegal in all countries that bans child pornography after discovering this: https://www.sciencealert.com/bitcoin-illegal-almost-everywhere-after-shocking-blockchain-discovery-child-pornography

Bullshit.
If you bought something on Silk Road with bitcoin, the blockchain will remember it forever and possibly reveal your identity.

How about this?

This is some alarming article if this news is really true. I'm not that worried about some pornography and other photos inserted into the blockchain but how about destructive malwares and viruses secretly stored into your most valuable vault disaster waiting. If everyone has bitcoin worldwide (assuming it will become the next currency), who knows what happens is some nasty malware is inserted in all computers without the owner knowing. Hopefully they'll find some solution in filtering perhaps the blockchain.

By following this logic so they shall also ban the dollar, euro, pound sterling and so on... But wait, even if it happens then what? They will use another means of payment simple as that. So to continue their trip with acid, silver, gold, copper, the diamond should be banned too.

But wait, when money didn't exist people were trading (I give you tomatoes in exchange of sugar, then the sugar is exchanged for a fish and so on) Going deep into this, everything should be banned. I hope in the future we will still be allowed to breathe

The technology itself is not sinful, and the guilty ones are those who use it.
So I don't think there is a direct link between the bad guys and the bad guys on the blockchain ledger, which doesn't mean that bitcoin is bad.

First of all of course they can track everything as blockchain within bitcoin is fully transperent. Secondly you could technically store malwares BUT they won't execute because you will have to spread the code within blocks because your malware will prob contain a lot of data. Maybe theres already one stored who knows.

If child pornography, drug dealing, gun supplies all did not exist before Bitcoin, then I could understand why Bitcoin could be banned if it was the main cause for these malpractices flourishing. The thing is these nasty habits and crimes existed for millennia in sick people's minds and actions long before Bitcoin was invented. People pay hard cold cash to do all these bad things and they do not need Bitcoin to make them easier to get. As long as we have sick people on this planet, these nasty things will not go away. Banning Bitcoin will not solve the problem , put it that way.

If it is true then the reputation of bitcoin will be lost much after this event. Currently I can not believe this information because the article writer is not very prestigious. I just believe the information from the big and prestigious newspapers. I'm waiting for people to talk about this and make my conclusions.

The problem is that governments don't care, and if you are running a full node, they could make an argument claiming that you are holding these illegal files yourself by default if you are holding the blockchain.

If they want to screw up bitcoin's network they could come up with crazy laws like that, so people running full validating nodes should be aware of that possibility.. they could incriminate everyone hosting nodes. It's unfair but wouldn't surprise me if it eventually happens.

Most crimes are paid using US dollar. Should people ban bucks then? Bitcoin is just a tool, it is not untraceable and can be confiscated. How come US marshalls sold around 10k BTC? They took it from criminals. So nothing wrong with bitcoin, and it pisses me off that banks use this trick to put more regulation on our beloved crypto.

[AGAVE]

Bullshit, bullshit....Since there may be people without conscience, it is totally unacceptable in any medium or form in which a person uses a child in this way, all these types of people should be sentenced to death.

[acha1217]

Child pornography, sell and buy drug and another crime activity has been there before Blockchain technology founded, I have see it at the darkweb and they use another way or their own way to make a payment.
For example if they use cash money to do crime activity, should we blame money for it? No, we can't !
So we should learn more about this problem, that is right if use bitcoin make payment at crime activity to be easier, but we should see the advantages of bitcoin for our future, bitcoin can change our future if we use it in good way.
And if all country or government banned bitcoin, crime activity can be take place at the darkweb, so that's working good if government banned bitcoin? I think that is not right choice for it.
Every technology or whatever that, that must have good sides and bad sides, so that depend by how we use it.

Pornography is already there even if Bitcoin was not yet still running. These are just some kind of lame excuses just for their own interests and nothing more. They will surely banned anything that they won't be able to make profit out of it.

[cryptohunter]

can noob imbeciles ease up on the upper case for posting fud and nonsense.

why even reply to such a retarded posts

blockchain is not about to be banned because 0.001% of dirt bags that want to taint every thing they can with this stuff

next ban the internet

ban people

low level fud

This kind of pornography set up is already involve in the deepweb that currenly are using bitcoin payment, And I really think that there are ICO that are using pornography as a source of service in there cryptocurrencyI think this is vicecoin that you can watch adult video using their platform, cryptocurrency is already tainted with this kind of things that is why this is not new if this kind of issue is involve in the system.

That's precisely the point. The problem is to use this kind of nasty activities in order to accuse bitcoin. This makes me sick, for it is another pathetic attempt of discrediting a new technology, but based, once more, on pure air.
Technology itself can't be bad, but the use humankind makes of it. If most of the humans suck, well, this is not technologys fault at all.

[Skizzewizzie]

People will always find a way to get child pornography. They are perverted individuals who will do anything and use anything in order to fulfill their urges and it's not just peculiar to bitcoin alone.

[Gotottack]

Well, this is really bad. This is what I have been reading a lot about for the past few days, and I can say this is by far the strongest reason governments worldwide will ban Bitcoin. Nonetheless, I think governments are skeptical about outright banning considering that all things banned find its way to curb the law, thereby multiplying even more in the black market. Worse, governments do not get to tax those illegal forms of money-making enterprises. Like for instance, those of illegal drugs. Governments worldwide ban it, in general, but they know how strong the market of drugs is at present. What is killing them is the fact that no matter how strong the market of drugs is, they do not get to tax the same.

[cryptorTUX]

You can't delete child porn from bitcoin blockchain if it is truly there, I am not programmer so I don't and can't tell you if there really is one. If there is this picture as they state then this is awkward and I honestly can't imagine person who put this into blockchain, maybe some people think it is fun to play around but it is not. You can't stop bitcoin from operating just because there are these type of things within the blockchain. You can't stop this thing, some governments might try to suppress this but who cares at end. Me as average Joe don't care whats in there as long as i can profit and use this thing for what I need.

Hayz, another black shit staining propaganda. Why even bother?, some people with ill intention will  create a reason to hedge the progress of bitcoins. almost all of these cases are already deep rooted in the internet, and since we live in internet, why bother?. These kind of services won't stop any time soon because everyone has free access and can stored their ill gotten data on bockchain. So don't fret it's nothing new.
