Lol altcoin probably not very well known. maybe they will not know about altcoin etherum or another? for bitcoin is still decentralized and anonymous. then bitcoin is very safe to use as currency in illegal activity. so do not need another altcoin for bitcoin still have that function

Yes Bitcoin is beiing used for illegal activities.  Even in the early stage of Bitcoin it is being used for illegal activities like buying drugs, underground trades of firearms and prostitution. It was used coz of the anonymity feature of BTC. And according to the history, it was firstly used in this area before the wide range adoption of legal merchants.

Yeah, it's can make a bad name for bitcoin or fall the bitcoin reputation, maybe is better to bitcoin to make an improvisation with their security and it's difficult to make an illegal activity.

You can't blame bitcoin for this only the people who use it for buying/selling illegal stuff.
Goverments can't just ban it only make it illegal,but this is not enough to make someone stop using bitcoin if he doesn't want to.

Still secret services of different countries to cope with illegal business on the Internet, due to the fact that they can keep track of customer payments to dealers. Since before 2009 did not exist Bitcoin technology that allows you to remain anonymous for security services and keep their money at home on the computer. Because until now the three benefits of digital currency Bitcoin, which took them into service, it is anonymous (pseudo), decentralized, the ability to keep their money in their own computer. That's just why Bitcoin technology is widely used by the underworld and not only.

Well, yeah. Bitcoin is a legal currency in most countries except a few. However, because it is mostly anonymous and decentralized, it also means that people use it for illegal stuff like drugs.

But you can buy drugs with any currency, cash, bank transfer, anything. Not just BTC.

Bitcoin is used for illegal activities just like real world currencies like USD, EUR are being used for massive drug transfer deals with the Colombians and anyone doing this risky business. They cannot do it via Bitcoin because sooner or later they need to exchange it to cash so the most perfect payment for them is cash by hand. By saying this, bitcoin is used for illegal activity but never in the same level as the USD or the EUR, you can rest assured for this. So by this comparison, bitcoin is more of a legal usage currency rather than illegal one when we compare volumes in illegal activities in bitcoin and FIAT currencies.

yeah it is already used for illegal activities i think not only on the deepweb or darkweb .
there's a lot of illegal things there that are being selled maybe there's also a illegal selling on the surface web i don't know but it is not impossible .

Yes its used for criminal activities but which currency is not is what people already said and I think they are right.
Every currency is used by criminals so its not a bad thing, there is nothing to do about it!

Sort of a ridiculous question.. Of course it's being used in illegal activities, on a much larger percentage then cash. Everyday that goes by tho, cryptocurrency is being increasingly widely used for legal transactions.
