Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar. Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins. Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.

These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet. Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage. Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening. Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.

Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.

Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement wont be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.

I have never heard that bitcoin has been used or is involved in crime. Bitcoin because he did not know everything, it's not quite well known in the world. Critics have only been discovered recently that criminals do not know anything about bitcoins. Then how do the criminals use it? they will be very hard because bitcoin security is very powerful

Bitcoin has been and is currently used by criminals in their illegal transactions and the same also to fiat money - we can't avoid these and it is the enforcer's duty to catch them. Because bitcoin was not created for the criminals but criminals can use it at their disposal and risk.

It is a freedom currency, so everyone can use it for any purpose and not related with Bitcoin.
Because at begin, this is the nature of Bitcoin and Satoshi also want to against all rules of the world managed by the government.
