Can we know specific bitcoin is stolen goods?

[dothebeats]

Every bitcoin that has been used in any transaction would carry a 'taint' with them, so no matter where theae bitcoins land, they'd always carry this 'taint' that somehow makes the coin movement traceable. In order to obfuscate the trail, some people use mixers most of the time in order to mix their coins and receive fresh ones. Anyway, going back, no one will ever know or bother to know where the money comes from. Besides, if the money came from some nefarious activity, the owner couldn't claim it as it's not the present owner's fault if the original owner of the money lost it during a theft. I'd accept tainted payments any day since it is still regarded as money. They can't do shit about it once it lands in your pocket legally.

trace btc is very difficult and it transfer anonymous.

It is quite impossible to answer because it is totally depend on the person and hos puopose.

You mean like they are illegally taken from someone else then he is trying to sell it back?
Well that is no problem. You can buy it if you want. Just be sure it is not a fake one.

You could do some mixer to also add some security and for the past owner to not track it anymore. You could also try to put it in an exchange then he may kiss goodbye to his bitcoin.
I dont think someone will do that if he knows how to steal bitcoin. He also knew how he can take care of that certain circumstances.

  There is a big problem though. You can sell at a higher price by buying at a lower price.

I don't think there is way to know which bitcoin is stolen. For example: if James has 10 bitcoins in his wallet and he stole 2 more, now he will have 12 bitcoin in his wallet. If you buy 1 bitcoin from James, how would you know that the 1 bitcoin sent to you by James is from the stole bitcoins?

For example, if some guy approach me and he want to sell bitcoin at low price, but big amount,

is this acceptable? or not? Why?

for safe steps you should avoid it, because when it is tracked as a theft then you will also be carried on the case.
an expert in technology will certainly be able to trace the origin of the asset.

I think this is a trade and it can be indeterminate whenever. There is no confidence in discussion hone. Since there is no Bitcoin to take there. They will take away numerous coins from you by misrepresentation. So be watchful and think about them constantly.
