Yes and no .. mostly no.
Some, who don't care much of anonymity and just don't want to show that in the papers from bank will indeed use bitcoin for that. And that's not a big number of people and it's only on short term, I'd say.
Bitcoin is not 100% anonymous and there are altcoins just behind the corner, promising full anonymity. I think that the future of porn and gambling is for that niche, not for bitcoin.

but I'm worried bitcoin will be also the criminals' future. Undecided

Don't be worried, bitcoin is not fully anonymous. Criminals with bitcoin were already caught, and it's early Wink

I'd be much more worried about .. the other coins, since those can indeed help the criminals and that's a big issue.

I think so since I've also read some articles that including criminals with bitcoins being caught but still I'm worried cuz there are some criminals smart enough to make bitcoins harder to trace Cheesy

Other coins, you mean altcoins? Didn't knew there are altcoins that were more anonymous than bitcoin Cheesy

There are many of them.
First one was Darkcoin (lately renamed to Dash), but also lately it was accused that it's not as anonymous as advertised.
And "lately" the coins based on Cryptonote came around and afaik they have mathematically proven anonymity.
