Bitcoin can be used by anyone, anytime on however they want to use it. So Bitcoin is not to be blame on anything that happens on how it was used, people should be accountable on the things that they do and the consequences of their actions. Also the governments should take the people accountable on their actions not just ban and blame the tool because it has all other good purposes, you cannot just ban it because it can be use on some bad ones.

Hi friends, I would like to tell you about such a wonderful project as Crypro Credit card, in short Crypto Credit Card - the platform based on the blockchain technology Ethereum, with its own crypto-exchanges and mobile banking services, I think it says a lot , this ICO project is currently one of the most promising at the moment, it has a good future and it is capable of much, this company employs an excellent team of professionals who will soon show the capabilities of its cool cryptocurrency, I think it is worth looking at the expense of this project, I think soon will fly to the moon, , participation in which can take absolutely everyone without investing any effort, I think it is worth thinking about buying this cryptocurrency, again, but soon shoot, it is better to buy on the ICO , because the prices are completely different.The project is presented with a large number of new and interesting programs. Join and invest in this great project and become a part of it,otherwise you will regret later that you did not invest your money in Crypto credit card, because its really good idea

Criminality will never and must not tag with bitcoin. Criminal are just using the name of bitcoin on their wrong or bad doing. This is the reason why other people are thinking that bitcoin is a bad doing because of those criminal that are using the name of the bitcoin on their illegal transactions. Here in our country there are a lot of cases that some people were been scammed and fraud by those criminals using the name of bitcoin. Also by those criminals using the name of bitcoin is the reason for some of countries to banned bitcoin in their country.

I think it has nothing to do with bitcoin, it all goes back to individual thought and behavior. The bottom line is that hacking is not just because of bitcoins, savings accounts containing fiat money balances can also be hacked.
Even when there is no internet, people have committed a crime. And this happened long before civilization.

It is rather unfortunate that some governments have refused to realize the numerous benefits of Bitcoin and have rather chosen to attribute the emergence of crimes with the emergence of Bitcoin. Probably, people need more insight to acknowledge the fact that Bitcoin has no relationship with criminal acts.

They all know that, they know that Bitcoin can be used in illegal acts and it is their own decision why they ban or do not legalize Bitcoin. We can't do anything about their decisions but the good thing is there are still a lot of countries that accepts Bitcoin and in the future, they might use it as a normal currency, I just hope.

I have seen some news regarding hackers, terrorists, and other criminals using bitcoin for illegal trades.
How the police can find about these transactions?
Even if is hard to track illegal transactions, I don't think that Bitcoin can be a danger to society, since the problem is the society and its people.
Since the beginning of the internet this is happening ( the bad people committing crimes)  and no one is willing to shutdown internet because of that, so in that matters Bitcoin should be equivalent. I think those illegal transaction are one of the reasons some governments and the media are trying to depreciate bitcoin, but the problem is not Crypto/blockchain or Bitcoin, is just the society.
I don't think the invention of bitcoin is main course of criminal activities. Before bitcoin those nefarious acts were still in the system. I believe bitcoin has nothing to do with criminality even though some economies has sanction bitcoin trading. With time people will understand cryptocurrencies and would finally distinguish it from criminal acts

Where there are benefits to be gained, there certainly be a crime that can be done by anyone. Because the characteristic of bitcoin or crypto itself., is still showing things that are vulnerable to negative activities that occur on the internet, of course this still be one thing that is still very in worry by the certain countries.

Illegal activities are generally difficult to trace especially when evidence seems to be difficult to trace and cryptocurrency might be one of the evidence which might be difficult to trace to a particular identity. being anonymous in making transaction is a pros for criminals but cons for government and other organisation that need identity verifications. As the crypto market continue to grow wide the more criminal will continue to use them. example of this is what is happening now with some ICO where so many faceless people have defrauded people of their savings (Denaro etc)

There are now criminals that are now using bitcoins because they know that the government will have hard time to trace the transaction. They using bitcoins as payments because of its advantages which is being decentralized.

The US dollar is used by criminals. Pablo Escobar built a billion dollar cocaine empire without having access to bitcoin.

"Freedom is used buy criminals", lets face it if we embrace the surveillance state, and everything everyone does is constantly monitored by the state... there would be a lot less crime. Less crime perpetrated by the subjects of the state at least, the governments will still be allowed to get away with murder of course.

Actually bitcoin can't be blamed entirely as a result of existing criminal incidents. because everything depends on each bitcoin holder, will be used for good or bad.

This argument is the lowest form of debate by tulip lovers and politicians who want to scare you into supporting their anti bitcoin laws.

Criminals use whatever enables them to succeed. The USD is the most used currency for money laundering and crime.

The world should ban burner phones? Why don’t they ban guns before bitcoin? Or getaway cars?

If BTC is bad because criminals then I argue then using Internet is bad because criminals.

I know many criminals who use English to communicate they should switch to Japanese if they want to use the "if criminals use" arguments.
