You and I can agree that most governments are corrupt and should be in jail. On the other hand, they are the ones that control the police and they aren't put in jail at all even after doing an obvious scam. Oh well, just do your thing and kinda just ignore the fact that the government is not doing you any good. It is going to continue like that in the future and we can't do anything about it at all. Even if we cast a vote on better candidates, promote a good candidate, etc. They are still going to win because they rig the elections.

It is also possible that the government just don't want new ideas coming into the country. They want the country to stay the same so they can manipulate it so easily. Bitcoin opens a door of opportunities and the government are not getting any tax from people earning money through bitcoins. They also have no way of limiting people from using it. They applied that "Prevention is better than cure" mentality so they banned bitcoin even though there aren't much bitcoin users yet.

Bitcoin leaves a digital trail. If you want to be truly anonymous, use black bytes by byteball. I do believe that if criminals are actually using bitcoin, the price will be wayyyy higher. This price is nothing compared to how much money is being transacted by mafias everyday. Sometimes real life is even more anonymous because you can meetup somewhere off the grid and you will not be traced by any CCTV. In movies, in order for them to have zero trail at all, they kill the people that knows about them or have a slight idea on what they are doing. In bitcoin, once you have sent money to an address, it will forever be in the public ledger. Anonymous or not?

I can't stress this enough but I do think that there's only a really small amount of criminals that are using bitcoin for their shady activities. First, if you have millions of dollars, are you going to put it in something that you are not really sure of the price? Are you going to put it to something which price goes up and down every single day. I think that people are exaggerated by the idea of deep web but that's just my opinion. I'm no deep web or bitcoin expert.

Its all depends i guess. There's many people who use bitcoins for illegal activities. Life Drug Smuggling Money laundering etc .
Bitcoins is not a crime but peoples are making it like that. I think that's the reason why some peoples hates bitcoins and some countries like china tried to  ban the use of bitcoins giving this as a reason. Even Most ICO are scams 

Advantage and disadvantage are two words that have a subjective meaning. People have different agendas and what one can call as an advantage can be called by another as a disadvantage and vice versa. But in terms of being a disadvantage to the society, it is same that we cannot please everybody, there will be advantages and disadvantages to things. But the continuation to the use of bitcoin would still be people believing in bitcoin and the benefits of using it outweighing the consequences. If it is true the the increased number of criminality is directly related with bitcoin, then let us not be surprised to hear our government making regulations to safekeep the nation and its people from this cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin may not be yet so much popular in criminal and it is also not so much easy to use it. in fact they will never take the risk on something that they not easily understand. On other hand I think it is the responsibility of the state control the criminal activities of the people therefore I do not think that we can blaim bitcoin for criminal activities.

Criminals operate very aggressively, and they use bitcoin as a means, a safe payment channel for criminal activity.

There's a lot of money laundering services by the way involve bitcoin ,
Especially when you come to deep web , where illegal things listed there and use bitcoin as a payment ,
Really unfortunate to see people abuse the function of bitcoin.

I think we cannot judge bitcoin as evil currency. Any currencies are already used for criminality. I think bitcoinis in good progress now, criminality using bitcoin is decrease now.

There is always two sides in any change, good/bad, pros/cons, advantage/disadvantages...inseparable most of the times. Just like bitcoin when it became as an exchange medium in the crypto system. Bad elements will always get their hands into anything profitable...it’s inevitable.

nope. bitcoin is a tool used by crime groups. online extortion like wannacry they are using bitcoin for ransom. Criminals have gone to modernize their methods to commit a crime as the times progress
