its laundering not hacking . crypto may be hard to launder as they say but hacking is still prominent here .
Of course. This is the digital world. Hacking is prominent here the same way robberies are prominent in the real one. Whatever is the easiest or most convenient goes first.
however hacking can also relate or connect to laundering and i think its easy to launder here because of the anonimity that crypto provide . they can use mixers if they arent sure of their privacy but non crypto transactions are way to centralizefd and easily trackable . they didnt think of that ?
Actually, you're wrong about two things:
1. Cryptocurrencies (I'm talking about cryptocurrencies that are
not designed to provide anonymity unlike Monero) are
not anonymous. They're pseudonymous - it's something I have always got confused until not too long ago. Anonymity = hidden; pseudonymity = something similar to having a nickname. On this forum, you're pseudonymous.
2. Hiding non-crypto transactions can be
way easier than hiding a Bitcoin tx. If we decided to meet at some place outside the city and left our phones and any other electronic device (including cars that are traceable) at home (or placed them in some Faraday cages if possible), without any surveillance cameras or suspecting people around we could discuss about literally anything and complete any transaction we'd wish without leaving much of a trace behind. If I was to trace all the times your friends/family handed you some bucks (or you did), do you think I'd be able to? I doubt it.
