CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN

[CannonWarrior]

Actually Sometimes child pornography is happen in the company of the bitcoin in different way like  in a way that some of their buyers of coin or investors use their income for their own good and want too.

[BitHodler]

All that "Bitcoin is guilty in pornography/murders/drugs/etc." is ridiculous. A cryptocurrency is a tool and nothing more, same way we can say fiats is guilty in all same things

That. Never blame the tool for that what people do with it. In this case it doesn't even concern actual links and images. The 'content' in the blockchain they are talking about are hashes.

Only wrong intended people know how to gain access to these files. 99.9% of the people don't even know what a hash is, let alone how to locate the block containing it and the exact hashes. It's trash talk meant to tarnish Bitcoin.

What if these hashes get emailed to government employees in a text file and they download it? Does that mean we should banish the government? It's all just nonsense. 

[Pearls Before Swine]

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.

The mainstream media always needs a boogeyman, and in this case they've found one in bitcoin, or it's a very slow news cycle.  What you said is absolutely true, that the medium of exchange is not the evil here, it's the actual evil deed.

That monster Peter Scully who recently got nabbed in the phillipines in one of the worst cases of online child abuse was supposedly linked to bitcoin, though the articles I read about his case did not seem to play that aspect up.  Take a look into that if you're in the mood for a horror story, but it's disgusting.  Anyway, bitcoin was very early on smeared with the stain of drugs and illegal porn, and that's not likely to wash away any time soon.  It's unfortunate but hopefully the average person can use a little bit of critical thinking and realize that crypto isn't a bad thing.  It's all the other stuff that is, and the people who partake in it.

That is the misconception about Bitcoin they look at it as a threat to financial ecosystem considering that at first hand the transactions are anonymous, they don't look at the advantages of this technology can offer, but it's unfair to say 'child pornography in Bitcoin' because it existed before. Maybe they wanted to drag Bitcoin in a position that will give the society to react negatively about Bitcoin

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

How about this?

That not only Silk Road there are many place people can go to do in dark side.
And yes, with an anonymous feature of cryptocurrency crimes very interested to use it.
that's why Gov don't wanna to use it

I think pornography is a bad move from one of the world's developers by integrating bitcoin with the platform they create that can make the name of bitcoin ugly.

- others will say that pornography is an art, government is not even after with pornography even in US it has license to operate. Other countries prohibited it. The creator may integrate blockchain with it but should also be responsible enough by not encouraging others to operate illegally using minors as it is worldwide considered as unacceptable.

totally agree, in fact it's just a weak try to make some people be against bitcoin and blockchain technology. people who know how blockchain works will never buy this crap. Cause it's impossible to put stuff like that in a system like this. so before taking every piece of unreliable information at face value, try to make a research on your own.

[Wong owah]

PORNOGRAPHY CHILDREN IN BITCOIN never existed, because the bithoin forums for work materials and bitcoin forums are not appropriate for child pornography, the bitcoin forum is a good job for the nation and the country.

[rolerVX]

Child pornography is a serious crime. The person behind this should put into prison for a life time sentence. It is worthy for them and bitcoin should remain because it wasn't the original purpose of bitcoin creation. Alarming article that can miss lead other that can possibly leads to panic.

[raidarksword]

This is really bad news hence using child on pornography really a heinous crime and punishable to the extent of the law. Using bitcoin will give good or bad reputations, it may have good effect to those you using it in a good way and bad to those using it in illegal acts such mentioned on the article.

[chenczane]

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.

We have the same logic. Bitcoin will not be bad in the blockchain, those people are. Yes, they want income and they use an illegal way for it and they use bitcoin as a payment. So whatever happens, bitcoin is not the one who did it, it is always the person.

[realcrypto]

If some country have to ban bitcoin because some pornography site are using bitcoin then dollar, pounds and all other fiat should also be ban because before the inception of bitcoin so many pornography were in existence using fiat.

[amsiran_irene]

there are pros and cons of the technology based on how it is being used. But as law abiding citizen we must regret this kind of marketing, we should not advocate acts which is illegal in the first place.

Huh? What have developers to do with this? This is about how a sick fuck miner used the blockchain for disgusting purposes, very likely to damage Bitcoin's reputation, but it's not working. Miners have the ability to include data in blocks, not developers or users. Bitcoin's network at that point by far wasn't as large as it is right now, so it required relatively low effort to get it done. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was a government or bank having done so.

All these actions against Bitcoin just show how much of a powerful tool it is. The elite doesn't want people to obtain any freedom. They want to control your wealth, they want to control what you can spend your money on, what you read and what you see. Without Bitcoin we would probably remain stuck in this shitty system for many more decades.

Yes bitcoin and blockchain technology are not malicious and wrong as long as nobody abuses it, which makes bitcoin negative by laypeople like that, they run illegal activities using bitcoin as a means of payment or transact. So if they (the laymen) are tracking blockchain and crypto technology, I'm sure they'll aware and not always see the bitcoin from the downside.

yes, it is not the blockchain technology that is guilty, it's all on us who use this bitcoin, if we use it well then the name of bitcoin will still be good in other people's thinking, try us all the same to use this bitcoin well

[Ronni]

This is one of the reason while different countries ban the usage of bitcoin, it is because it is used for illegal things and also promotes it to other buy just buying something illegal or trading it. It is a very bad news because the name of bitcoin is being dragged by those kind of events, the risk of bitcoin being banned to other countries are getting high because of these issues.

PORNOGRAPHY CHILDREN IN BITCOIN
What can you say about it?


I think kalao is true then the reputation of bitcoin will disappear long after this incident. Currently I can not trust this information because the article writer is not too prestigious. I just believe the information from big and prestigious newspapers. I am waiting for people to talk about this and make my conclusions. And I hope this is not true.

[coinholic]

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

What can you say about it?

Now this is just sad. It is almost inevitable that some people will use Bitcoin in their dirty work. A medium for a great opportunity for a better living being tainted by these bad elements. I think that the governments should carefully study these cases which involves the use of Bitcoin and be more considerable by looking at the greater benefits Bitcoin has to offer rather than shutting it down.
