 No its not crime. It just some people didnt understand bitcoin. Unless you scam people to get bitcoin.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I don't think that bitcoin is the root of crimes that just seems to pop out nowhere. May be it is just a propaganda to ruin the image of crryptocurrency. And there is a lot difference between correlation and causation so may be we should try to look deeper than what it is the top of the ice berg.

Owning bitcoin is not a crime, at least here in my country. Here, many people that are integrated to cryptocurrency have started doing signature campigns and now investing or trading. From the looks of it, these things are not a crime but now a career that supplies finance to support many households.

I don't know how other people are treating bitcoin for those countries that does not allow bitcoin, or that it is illegal to them, felt so sad for them as they are not enjoying the benefit of having a cryptocurrency, so for me, what matters for me right now is that I do have this kind of opportunity here in our country where in we are allowed and will never accused crime for having it.

I don't think so, at least ts not from where I'm from. Even if it was I would probably still hold my Bitcoins, as it is decentralized and anonymous, the government can never know what I'm doing. I also cant really see it as a crime if its used just for a profitable service, if its used for illegal stuff, obviously yes, but by the way I'm using it its definitely not.

I do not think that. That's a one-sided comparison. The blockchain technology provides the characteristics and breakthroughs that make people fair, giving people the opportunity to earn money and address the growing unemployment in the world. Of course, there is reason to believe that possession of bitcoin is a crime. in terms of security and politics. But in terms of social and economic. Bitcoin brings the difference to the community and the people.

well i think owning bitcoin is really not a crime. This technolgy has a mission and vision that helps people to make the easiest and fastest way in doing transaction and it's really help for the financial stability of people. It has a good cause whilw entering to the market and bitcoin is an investment and we can gain a lot of profit on it without hurting others. Maybe others are some people around that think bitcoin is a crime because of its simple way to earn a huge amount of profit

My opinion for this matter is always the same. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency itself is not a crime. This innovation only aims to help people out. From being a payment method or an asset for investment, bitcoin never meant any harm or cause any another crimes for the record. With or without bitcoin, this world has people with bad intention, so I think it is not fair to blame it.

It depends on the human nature that exists in this world if they have bad bitcoin means they do not have a good future, but the average bitcoin user in the world is average either used for human cost or doing a positive thing.

Owning a BTC is not a crime unless you had owned it by doing crimes.

As far as you didnt use it to buy illegal things it wont be a crime,owning a bitcoin is a privilege not a crime unless you did something wrong which oppose the constitutional law in your county.Most of the people are misinformed that is why bitcoin's image in most of the country has been restricted because people use it to scam others.

It all depends on how you use it. Same as with a gun. It can be used to defend oneself or to give up someone. BTC is the future. Will you stop using money because they are also used for bad things?

I think it depends on country regulations where you belong in citizenship. In some countries bitcoin is actualy forbiden, so check your laws first.

Bitcoin is just like money. I don't think holding money is a crime plus bitcoin has nothing to do with arms or drugs dealers. People been paying for illegal things since ages with fiat before even bitcoin existed. Although some countries considers it a crime and I don't know why.
