Bitcoin will be used for good as well bad things the same way it happens for several years with fiat, soo nothing new here, besides its harder to trace the people who are under the dark marketplaces.
I think although Fiat is also used for illegal activities as well but I think it will not be as perfect as bitcoin, because you can be easily tracked when you use fiat to transact. with bitcoin you can not be tracked and there is no evidence of when you really use for illegal activities

You are wrong, fiat ilegal activities are covered with fake companies, with employers, soo they do clean the money they earn from those and you cant trace, otherwise we wouldnt have criminals under those activities, sure bitcoin does make it more easy maybe, but those people will need to exchange the bitcoins into fiat, and doing those they get exposed easy.
It has possibility that bitcoin will used in illegal since we do not give our personal information even you are using fiat in online using your bitcoin wallet you can not easily trace if anyone are looking for your transaction.
yup its not easy to trace us right away with only the transaction so its possible many small time pushers and those who's making illegal transaction even the low end who knows how to deal with computer already taking advantage of this service.

It's traceable if ever the exchange available in that country using bank services in order to convert bitcoin into fiat. Remember that some of the local exchangers per country are strict when it comes to withdrawing the money.

They are doing this to avoid problens in the future that's why you can only withdraw if you are a verified user.
