Post by: Chomzzy on December 27, 2018, 05:11:16 PM
In what ways do you think that developers should tackle the issue of using bitcoin to carry out criminal activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, illegal business transactions, and terrorism sponsor by some unscrupulous elements?

This would be a tough process for developers to handle but I think it can be overcome. Among what can be the done is the constant use of kyc and some high tech machine to track each transaction process.

Well, this could be true, the reason is that cryptocurrency is decentralized, and it is the area where the criminal can use it to scam people and go away  with it without be persecuted.

I think It is possible,  But criminal activities will happen in every where and every time.  Crypto currency is anonymous, Your identity cannot be tracking

Which developers are you referring to? Coin developers? They will to make it centralized if they ever plan to tackle issues of illegal activities using crypto.

Nothing can be done I suppose. From some point of view, people were doing those jobs even with the paper money. Banks didn't do anything about it, even swits became the most powerful money loundering center of the earth. This is very well known issue of the money sector, and since it provides so many volume and traffic, nobody is talking about it unless big guys see it and become uncomfortable.

Nothing can with criminal activity because bitcoin, Ethereum, and others cryptocurrency nothing but a single or binary digital. Some illegal person are directly and indirectly support criminal activities via online forums or virtual currencies.

Developers of many blockchain projects against the use for criminal purposes, the whole ideology of using the crypto currency is built on preventing this, since transactions in the blockchain are absolutely transparent and you can track where the funds went.

Only laws and regulations can limit and avoid this. but can it be implemented in a country? not all countries can do it because bitcoin is a currency that does not regulate. it is a negative side besides the many positive things you can get when using bitcoin or blockchain technology.

This is not something strange, even fiat itself is also used for criminal transactions. Yes I do not deny it because it must happen at any time.

Do you have any information and documents to support this statement? For years, people have been doing these activities in a way. No one can prove that this is more with crypto.

Everything that you have listed has been happening in the world for a long time and the cryptocurrency market has nothing to do with it. On the contrary, cryptocurrency is not beneficial for crime because the market is not stable and no one wants to risk.

We cannot only look at the bad sides of crypto impacts. Crypto also has many advantages to improve people's income and may improve global economic sector. I don't refuse that those criminal activities possible to support through crypto but they are easily to know by the authorities.

The utility of the crypto will depend on the token holders. Not all token holders will do the criminal activities, most of them use it to obtain certain profits and money. However, I also don't think that there are no people using it as manner of their crime, because it is personal. We don't know how they utilize that.

Crime and big money always go hand in hand, respectively, the fact that criminal groups are interested in cryptocurrency is not even discussed.

In my opinion,  criminal activities will happen in every where.  So It is possible in crypto because crypto is anonymous.  Your identity cannt be tracked.

Almost everything can be used for a criminal purpose. The problem of crime should not worry developers cryptocurrency. This should deal with law enforcement. However, cryptocurrency developers should provide all possible assistance in this law enforcement agencies.

I think, that criminals can use diamonds and anything else they find suitable. There are many lawful situations that people need to use anonymous tools for transactions. This is my favorite: Sending funds to a child of a previous marriage, disobeying the current partner request, that funds shouldn't be sent. There SHOULD be a way to do this, without putting the current marriage in danger.

Yes, you are correct. Although if it is true to be misused for illegal issues but it also has good advantages for people around the world. Crypto can make a jobless to have a source of income. People can try to improve their income by doing crypto jobs.

It is just a tool and it is up to its user whether to use it for good or bad things. It can also be said that a knife and a gun indirectly support criminal activities.

criminals will always find a way to exchange money even without crypto.

In my opinion, Developers can hold KYC (Know Your Customer) so that criminals who will commit money laundering crimes can be avoided, but KYC makes some investors who will actually invest in the project feel afraid if their personal data is used improperly.

No i don't think cryptocurrencies indirectly support for criminal activities because cryptocurrencies is like money they can be used for good and bad something, it is like fiat money. Cryptocurrencies is good progress of finance of industry so don't blame the cryptocurrencies the users of cryptocurrencies has responsibilities of it.

More stringent rules on transferring of their coins, and KYC for the coin holders will be a good move to prevent criminal activity but if someone really want to commit a crime by any means they will find a way to do it.

Cryptocurrency doesn't support criminals. It is only about a chance stolen by criminals. They utilize crypto for their own purposes. In this case, crypto is like a victim. The criminals misuse the advantages of cryptocurrency.

Until and unless some kind of regulation takes place we can not get rid of such issue because it is beyond control due to the anonymity nature of cryptocurrencies. But such activities takes place everywhere whether it is fiat because criminal activity doer has many ways to run their work they know all the loops.

Even though some of us would want to feign ignoance if this  ir shy away from it.
The fact remains that Cryptocurrency indirection encourage Criminal activities such as money laundering, trafficking and terrorism sponsorship.
It all boils down to the anonymous nature of the blockchain.
There's no way of tracking a wallet to an offlune address.

There is no such problem. The United States conducted special studies on this topic, which showed that Bitcoin is used for illegal purposes only in a few percent of cases. First of all, this is explained by the fact that it is only relatively anonymous. Criminals in their activities use coins with complete anonymity, such as Monero, Dash and others. And in general, this is not a serious problem for cryptocurrency. Almost everything can be used for illegal purposes. This should only be a problem for law enforcement.
