Bitcoin's anonymity is really a great characteristic. It enables users to use BTC in any transactions with nearly no traces. But is this really a good thing? Let us consider utilizing bitcoin in a negative way. Since bitcoin is considered currency, there is no doubt that a person that needs money will not reject bitcoin even if it involves unethical or illegal act.
Due to the anonymity of bitcoin, some uses bitcoin in a negative way [citation needed]. They can easily use bitcoin in paying others to commit crimes. They can even use bitcoin in bribery and/or money laundering. This characteristic of bitcoin are abused [citation needed] and it will never end well.
For the case of terrorism, terrorist can easily purchase weaponry from other country. With the use of transaction using bitcoin, authorities will have a hard time tracing that transaction thus, will give advantage to the side of terrorists.
This is not an impossible scenario. People can now use bitcoin in any way they want to. It's inevitable.
Depending on the person/company who is using bitcoins.Yeah for all people anonimity is an advantage.An advantage that can be use in illegal and legal things.You're anonymous so you are free to spend and buy all you want illegal or legal.And in terrorism yes this happens bitcoins are being used to buy guns and drugs thats why some country banned bitcoin due to massive terrorism in their country caused by bitcoins and people can buy anonymously
That are right words and I'm totally agree. I this anonimity can turn bad to bitcoin and some countries with high level of terroristic activity can simply just block bitcoin and admit it as illegal.
