Actually by using Bitcoin then some crime can be reduced, cash will continue to be the preferred medium for criminal activity as it is more difficult to trace. All Bitcoin transactions are recorded and publicly viewable. Only the identity of transactions that can not be seen but still can be obtained with little effort.
As i see this topic, i wonder what does criminals do to be involve in bitcoin. I think criminals using bitcoin isn't possible because bitcoin has its very own security, so how would that criminals can get into bitcoin? That ain't east just to think of.
