“The continuing evolution in the technology of payments, particularly with Bitcoin, raises interesting ethical questions.”
All new technologies raise ethical questions because they give people the abilities to do things that have never been done before. |

"uncovered hard evidence, of anonymous groups running bitcoin fundraisers for the Islamic State on the dark web”
so if they were to use gold and/or usd, they would be terrified of that ability also?
cheers

Not exactly true. The whole argument that dollars are the same as bitcoin is bs. You can't send dollars with same speed and convenience as bitcoin. Anything you can do in bitcoin I can do in dollar but better…

Every dollar have a unique number which can be traced Though in case of bitcoins , services like bitmixer or other ideas if used carefully can avoid it |

Guns were invented to protect us but now bad people are using it to kill innocent people. Planes & Ships were invented to reach the farthest corners of the world but now bad people are using it to transfer illegal materials all over the world. The list can go a long way for the inventions that were made for good and are being used to do bad. Why blame bitcoin??
Bitcoin is just another good invention that's being used by some bad people also.

It is their job to spot illegal usage of things.
Obviously, they aren't good at it.

It's rather unfair that the blame is placed onto bitcoin when in reality criminals also use fiat to commit illegal activities. Think on the good side. Anonymous feature will allows us to keep our personal information safe. Bitcoin is a good invention the problem here is that it has been misused.

I would have been dissapointed, if it could not be used for "bad things" ....it is a currency after all... if I could not buy drugs and illegal goods with it, it would have been good for law enforcement and bad for the Bitcoin users... that would mean, that it has no value. { A currency MUST be able to buy ANYTHING ...good and bad... if not... it would be worst than fiat/credit cards etc... }
People use all other payment methods to do illegal things, why should Bitcoin be different?
On the other side of the virtual coin. {pun intented} .... It would be great to have a currency, where you could trigger "tracing" markers for law enforcement to use, to track coins being used for these purposes. {Some people says... color coins} The trigger should only be "disabled" once the coins are cleared, rendering it useless.
There are lots of discussion, if this is the solution, but it's a step in the right direction.... The protocol can be changed to accomodate for that, but the application is a whole other ball game. {How do we stop the human factor, from doing the wrong things with this?}

Bitcoin is just neutral tool. Different ppl can use it in different way, bad or better. The one who blames it is the one who don't like or is affected by it. It is not the fault of bitcoin. It just depends on who are dealing with it.

How many USD in BTC is used for drugs, and other illegal stuff?
And how many USD in Fiat Currency is used for Drugs and other illegal stuff.
That is the problem people see when they hear about BTC.
They never hear about all the good stuff that people donate a lot to charity and its being used for normal
purchases on the web for games and physical items.
