Would you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in some countries in the world. 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.

Let say BTC played a role in criminality but is it the only reason or factor why it's getting worse? Lets remove BTC on the picture, does UK metropolitan Police doing their job properly? If the population is growing the crime rate also grow. I think instead of looking at the bad side of the picture (cryptocurrency) look at the brighter side of it.

crimes and illegal activities will always be there because they are part of the of chain. Not only in crypto or digital world but also in real life , we cant totally stop them all but we can rather minimize the risk of having them by being aware and to be more cautious whatver we do. besides police and cyber crime unit will always do their duty in order to stop these badass from spreading on the web.
