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.
Yes ofcourse you are right...And Infact everyone knows all these reasons why bitcoin is getting banned in some countries or the normal people fear to use bitcoins...and not only that some sites like bitcoin mixers they are also helping them to make their bitcoins more anonymous.

Crime has always existed and economic crimes have been committed and are committed in any areas, long before the appearance of bitcoin.Countries are not in a hurry to introduce cryptocurrency because of its virtuality and are afraid of problems.

Bitcoin is totally anonymous and the transaction is really hard to cracked out where it from because theres no name included , first of all and important is bitcoin is not responsible for this happening about the illegality use of others we can't that all of us are using it legaly other uses it to pay via online to proceed illegal activies like buying drugs etc. As long ad it can't affect bitcoin. Bitcoin is easier way to pay world wide thats why they using it as they gateway.

Absolutely right bitcoin is always the one who blame by the other people but they don't realize that the scammers used bitcoin for they bad intention and the authority knows about this things so the only thing they can do is to alarm people or totally get ban crypto but if other people truly understand the process I think they will prevented it, As a individual we can help other people to understand what is the real purpose of bitcoin.

Bitcoins is also use in illegal transactions criminals take advantage of this. There is good and bad aspects of everything. No one can track the transaction that was made it. No personal identity was provided and wallets might be trackable but not accessible to anyone. that's why criminal use It.

Bitcoins is just a tool, we can even say a victim of its own success when it comes to illegal
activities or when used for such purposes by criminals thru transactions and such. But that doesn’t
make bitcoin bad or illegal in the first place. Bitcoin is just being exploited, I think a lot of
authoritiesnare fully aware of this, maybe regulation will help minimize or put a stop to such
situations.

We can not blame bitcoin because criminal action by others peoples. Fiat money like dollar used for criminal action too but no one ban or blame dollar. I think its because government regulation on bitcoin or others cryptocurrency and government afraid bitcoin will replace fiat money use

Criminality is not the biggest issue of bitcoin, if you know it's a crime, please report it to the police. then they will investigate it in various ways. the problem of bitcoin is actually scalability and transaction fees, but that does not make bitcoin worse, as technology evolves better, as well as with the ever-expanding bitcoin for a more efficient human life.

Criminality that uses cryptocurrency is difficult to catch, but can also be tracked circulation. because the internet is connected to each other, so they are connected even though not visible.

These criminals especially the big timers. If they want to transact big amounts without being noticed they can also do it with fiats. Many fiats are even counterfeit and that is one thing criminals cannot do on decentralized currencies like bitcoin.

Many public misconceptions about the many uses of Bitcoin by criminals, but the thought is wrong thinking. This thinking is caused by the large number of people who think that Bitcoin is anonymous, when in fact Bitcoin is so opposed to it - all transactions Bitcoin transparent and everyone in the world can see the ongoing Bitcoin transaction.

Bitcoin is always close to criminals, hackers, terrorists but they wrong misconceptions about bitcoin. So many wrong news, fake news incomes to crypto currency. They always think BTC is doing illegal because the government hate bitcoin. I believe many people are good and doing the right thing, They're done by a team not one person.

For some reason, everything can be misused. Bitcoin offered us freedom, the freedom to use our assets anonymously, to do transactions in the internet without our name stamped on it. The creator of bitcoin surely know that this will be one application of a decentralized and anonymous network, for illegal transactions. And bitcoin, in its early years was really used for buying drugs, guns and other illegal goods in the black market, specifically silk road.

We cannot stop bitcoin related crimes. This society will never change. Bitcoin is made for this type of "freedom".

But you still have to consider the fact that whatever it is that seems to be the way or instrument through which the crimes are committed or even encouraged has to be stopped or regulated or closely monitored so that it will not get abused by these like-minded crooks and criminals. The problem, however, is that the built in features of cryptocurrency are in direct contrast to the kind of approach the government and law enforcement agencies need to implement.

indeed all back to the user's intention yes the person himself, hard as any government or we can not prohibit or prevent people use btc for something that is not good and it would be wise if only blame the existence of btc only, whatever thing in this world there must be gaps for people that is not good and it has become a law of nature, bad people will not succumb to the strict rules or sophisticated technology instead they will continue to try to be smarter than all existing systems or from our own

according to my personality, there are often misunderstandings about theft and security hacking that occur in various places of exchange and business. Although these things are unfortunate, none of them involves Bitcoin being hijacked
In recent years, security systems have been growing rapidly, such as wallet encryption, offline wallets, hardware wallets, and some signature transactions.

Bitcoin in very popular nowdays and with popularity the criminal activities associated with bitcoins are also increasing day by day .Many countries are declaring it illegal because of the unlawful activities of many people.They are purchasing harmful products like drugs, dangerous weapons through bitcoin.They know that there is not central management in case of bitcoin.Nobody can find any record of their transaction due to this they are taking wrong advantage of this thing.People should not use bitcoin for wrong means because it is acting as a source of income for many people and if some people will use it for wrong purpose it will effect rest of the common people who are using it for good purpose.

the main problem is in bitcoin users. users can perform any illegal / non-illegal transactions. so it's very difficult for us / law enforcement to control users because bitcoin users exist all over the world. and all transactions involving bitcoins are difficult to trace.

I do not think that bitcoin is used for criminal purposes more often than paper money. Bitcoin is not a completely anonymous coin. Anonymous cryptocurrencies such as monero or dash can be used for criminal purposes.

Some people used bitcoin in illegal pupose only like this if they've earn a lot of money in working it then they will used to buy harmful and dangerous things like weapons so that's why many people says that it can used in a bad ways so many country scared against it. We need to used it in a good ways because this is the help of bitcoin not in a bad ways and we need to be careful and think always before buying anythings.
