[POLL] Do you or have you ever used Bitcoin for illicit purposes?

[champbronc2]

Hey all,

People keep saying illicit use is on the decline with Bitcoin. Is it true?

I know we're all curious.. so what better way to find out than an anonymous Bitcointalk poll.

Do you/have you used Bitcoin for illicit purposes?

[caribbeanbitcoiner]

No officer 

[wzb422]

no ,i never did things like that

[darkota]

You should really get Dank to answer this question.

[jaberwock]

Nope.

I haven't ever visit Silk Road, or the hidden wiki, or one of that sites that allow you hire hitmans. Need to do such visit one day.

[kerafym]

What kind of illicit purposes?

Online gambling is illegal for American, do you mean buying coin to gamble online?

Is gambling considered illicit? Just not sure on it on a state by state basis, but I am pretty sure at the Federal level it is considered some kind of crime and you could get arrested for online gambling, so I guess that would be illicit then?

Legalese terms are not my strong point so I am unsure of. No I have not done anything with bitcoin besides trade back and forth really.

[DarkHyudrA]

Never used for illicit purposes.

Used only for DRM-free games and services("legally ok" where I live).

[oceans]

I have not but who would admit to that on this thread? I supposed if you always login with TOR it would be ok but I would say even that wouldn't be considered safe.

[btcracer1]

No I haven't in the past and I won't use them for illecit purposes even in the future!

[commandrix]

I think I missed the boat when it comes to using Silk Road for buying and selling illegal items. But, seriously, I'm too busy trying to do a legitimate job of earning Bitcoin to really worry about using it for illicit purposes. I haven't even used it to pay for sex.

[DeboraMeeks]

Nice try NSA / FBI but either way no is my answer ha

[Treggar]

Depends.  Is buying a new TV without paying sales tax illicit?

[BitcoinBarrel]

Wow this poll really contradicts the mainstream news saying Bitcoin is used by criminals and drug dealers.

[Tzupy]

That quite bearish, it means that there is no real need for a larger amount of bitcoins in circulation.
And 80+% are using bitcoin for speculative purposes only, like me.

[jjc326]

I don't think that actually gambling with BTC is illegal.  I know it's illegal to run a gambling establishment in the US but not sure on actually gambling online itself.  Anyway look at my sig, but I'm not answering yes or no, and I'm def not answering that poll 

[RodeoX]

The press loves to talk about the "dark net". It makes a far better story than the truth. Nobody wants to read about me buying alpaca socks. I did buy a handgun last week with bitcoin. But it was all legal and boring. 

[Beliathon]

Just weed. I use it for PTSD / anxiety / depression relief. I'm sure NSA can easily get my address if you want to send DEA to come arrest me.

The weed is sitting next to me right now. Just be warned, I will turn your prison upside down by teaching fellow inmates radical politics.



Yours in solidarity and compassion,

World Citizen Beliathon

[Mr Tea]

I don't think it's on the decline, but it's use for legit stuff is on the rise so overshadows the bad stuff.

[Yeezus]

I've never used it to buy a drugs, but I did think about using Silk Road to buy some weed but never did as the site went down and I never botherd after.
