This is the issue that was being thrown by the EuroPol and the UK Metropolitan Police. According to them bitcoin has played a huge role on the increasing criminality in their area. They added that a huge number of cybercriminals were using bitcoins in their activities.
This just shows that as bitcoin develops both advantages and disadvantages will tag along.
I find it hard to believe. In our country it's the opposite actually. The crime rate decreases, because people who were desperate to find jobs resulted to bitcoin, so now they just do bitcoin. However, there are still cyber crimes reported such as scamming.
I do not think that there is any direct relation of bitcoin with criminality. Bitcoin is a new emerging currency and i do not think that most of the criminal have enough knowledge about bitcoin. i am sure bitcoin may not be the right way to increase their criminality. I am sure that in present time bitcoin may be use as for legal activities, for example to play gambling for shopping online and transfer of fund from one place to another place.
