online currency bitcoin can basically be used for various transactions. For example, for legal transactions such as wordpress.com, Galatic virgin airways, republikhost.com, and various social donations like to wikileaks.

On the other hand, the digital currency can be used for the benefit of a greater portion of illegal internationally. Illegal acts that include money laundering, gambling, drugs, and even protitusi.
But it is possible if in the U.S. ensued with bitcoin money laundering. If there are politicians who commit this crime, the police will be very difficult to handle. Unless, if they cooperate with or exchanher bitcoin users who understand the concept of bitcoin

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Nowadays the biggest corruption is not about giving money/fiat/Btc from point A to point B.
It´s about to do / owe a favour. (Not trackable)

And that´s why Transparency International is in my eyes a hypocritical tool to prevent lower (trackable) degrees of corruption, (Money-transfer)
but not the real relevant kind of corruption as i wrote before.

I think it is possible to discredit Bitcoin as a tool for corruption.
It was possible to discredit Bitcoin as a tool for buying drugs and so on.

The underlaying sense of that argumentation is to implement Bitcoin into the existing system with new rules (Registration Duty) by creating public pressure.

Money laundering will always exist.
It will probably get harder with time (in what refers to bitcoin), but there will always be a way.
Maybe a time will come where cash becomes the main vehicle for laundering Smiley

Bitcoin is a poor form of medium for money laundering. IP address can be traced.

Even if you use anonymous browser to conduct illicit activity, if you are not careful into divulging your shipping address (or near by address), authority will use the information to deduce your identity. And cashing out large amount of bitcoin anonymously will be difficult.


Cash is still the best medium for money laundering. Trade off being it is hard to store bulk amount and you need to hire trusted personal to guard it.

Cash has always been a primary vehicle for money laundering. It is my understanding that a greater number of bitcoin TX (in terms of percentages) are used for money laundering then cash is

What?
Money laundering - completely annonymous coins... Basically DRK and a few others. All BTC transactions are recorded so everything can be traced back eventually.

I don't think that it is nearly as easy for politicians in the US to hide money as you seem to think it is. Their finances are fairly public and moving large amounts in and out of bitcoin exchanges isn't going to help them evade the public eye as much you think.

If you mean that they could take corruption payments directly in bitcoin, then yes, I see what you mean there. That does make it easier for them. But even so they still have to cash it out somehow, or buy things with the bitcoin. Or they could hold bitcoin if they felt that it was a sound investment.

All and all, it's not much different than cash. A corrupt politician could accept a briefcase full of cash and have the same problems washing it as he would with washing the bitcoins he would receive instead. Also, using bitcoins requires a little bit of technical familiarity and a lot of the US politicians are well known for being technically inept.
