Criminals and Bitcoin

[vhiancs]

The bitcoin currency is not responsible for any transaction by a criminals, its depend to the people if they used it for bad thing. Our police officers find it difficult to detect the transaction if the criminals are using bitcoin paying for illegal items.

We can't blame bitcoin if people wants to do crime or use bitcoin to commit crime. People has their own mind, they should be responsible in their actions.

Criminals and Bitcoin in the eyes of others is very different.
from the current view of the government bitcoin is no different as a criminal, which is allegedly a money laundering and terrorist funding.
but I think bitcoin is good, bitcoin taught us that there is an easier and cost-effective way to supplement your income well. karen bitcoin not only gives promise but has given proof.

 Criminals are always present in every time and society, they are using different currencies for their different purposes. Using Bitcoin as payment for their illegal operations due to its decentralization and anonymity.

Exactly, the real problem is not created by bitcoin but the society itself created the problem. And the criminals are using the bitcoin as a medium of their transaction. And putting any censorship on bitcoin or banning it will not solve the original problem, criminal will just move to a new mode of transaction.

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.

Every currency has/have its own advantages and disadvantages! And we already experienced the Centralized one!
In this millennial era, now is the time for a Decentralized currency system and everyone has the freedom to choose which form of currency did he'she prefer to use in a daily life!

The problem is not Bitcoin itself. It's the society. The World needs to be balanced. Good and bad work together for the survival of the world. So those are beyond our limits we can only reduced it but can't eradicate it.

every thing that can make money there is a lot of criminals, in the world of the Internet there is a heker, so they are in this bitcoin they are quite easy to steal our assets because in the bitcoin world there is no name of the person responsible if happened something, more so in my country the government does not allow this bitcoin, yes if we lose our assets, we can not take responsibility for it

Wherever you make money, there are always hidden criminals who are stalking our accounts. Not only in the BTC but in the banking system or anywhere else if we are not careful and alert, the criminals will break in and steal the property. People see BTC as anonymous, so they always blame them as criminals' shelter. But they have many benefits that other markets can not.

[luis jean]

actually bitcoin is not a criminal but bitcoin can be in salh use by criminals this may be the reason why many countries are closing bitcoin access for fear of being misused by criminals

[Dava.Dina]

It is impossible if Bitcoin has nothing to do with criminals.
online there must be a villain but it is a criminal / hacker online.
because Bitcoin is created as an online payment system, just like its off-line partner, so it's obvious that criminals use bitcoin. Many people want to use it to be illegal.

It's always been the people behind the crimes are at fault and not bitcoins. Bitcoins are just a means to make their crimes happen, but bitcoins in itself is not evil nor illegal to own. Bitcoins are just there to make things happen for these terrorists. It makes things easy for them instead of using fiat money.

[wengden]

I hope the government will make a regulation for this. They will form a group that will catch all the bad people using bitcoin to their bad transaction. They make a law whoever do scams in this forum, will go to sentence atleast a year. 😊

I do not think it's news of bitcoin and crime because bitcoin is accessible to anyone and anywhere so without any restrictions or restrictions that make bitcoin safer from crime activities I think it takes surveillance and monitoring very closely

Bitcoin as a crypto currency can be used in any illegal activities by cyber criminals because it can't be trace, it's up to the authority on how to found out thus guys, that is why some country banning bitcoin to protect their people from scammer or cyber criminals.

[online73]

Hello everybody. The offender acts like a worm under the ground, - bumping into an impassable obstacle, he just bypasses it. Just here, any criminal will pay for one or another illicit product, the money that is most easily hidden and most difficult to track. If not Bitcoin, then another financial system will be operated. In addition, it is easiest to pay in cash. The assertion that Bitcoin is a currency for criminals is not true, this is not an excuse for banning digital gold.

There are advantages that can be from Bitcoin and will have the shortcomings that will happen as criminals will be easier to make transactions.

Well, criminals also use fiat money and that can be done more or less anonymously as well. I think authorities should focuse more on the cause of crimes that on the tool.

[Ronni]

This is normal, well know that bitcoin is free for all and it is up to the people who use it if they want to make crime and do bad things with their bitcoin. Bitcoin is not responsible of these acts, the responsible for these are the people who once used it and leaved a negative image for bitcoin because of the act the he/she had done.

[rahimali]

In every sector there will be a culprit. If we count them as major then nothing can happen. We just have to find a way out to prevent it. Think about the sweet. If we cant keep it safe, it will be eaten by ant. There is no fault of the sweet. Just find the way to prevent it and use it for the good.

Indeed, the anonymously factor of the bitcoin somewhat carries a problem. It is hard to accept that there are some bad people who tries to take advantage of bitcoin.
