actually, before the existence of bitcoin, criminality in the virtual world is already very much happening, but with the bitcoin is increasingly becoming a big chance for criminals to act, examples of the biggest things such as drug trafficking, weapons, women, and children. but not only that, people like state officials or other wealthy people can use bitcoin as a money laundering place
Criminals will always have many ways to get through all of their transactions - whether that would be with bitcoin, other altcoins, and fiat money. They are wise and even without bitcoins or not, the transactions will still go on. We should not then focus on the negative side but on the positive side of bitcoin that helps many people using it.
Yeah, criminals have a lot of ways but most of the ways are not so safe with them, however, since the bitcoin came out, all transactions of crime took place more safely and never fear of being detected by police. Bitcoin is actually a good tool to help criminals make their offenses easier but I can not deny the impact of bitcoin on us, it gives us a better economic source, we should be grateful it. Everything has two good and bad sides to help society balance, we need to accept that
