At least 870,000 bitcoins are associated with illegal activities. This is about $ 10 billion.
- Darknet marketplaces - 585,000 BTC.
- Stolen bitcoins - 204,000 BTC.
- Scam project organizers - 98,000 BTC.
- Other illegal activities 3,000 BTC.
Is it considered illegal to buy legal stuff on darknet marketplace? What if I buy some book, for example, that is legal in my country and illegal in the US? Would it make bitcoins, which I used to buy a book, illegal in US? From my perspective, these bitcoins were never used in illicit activities, but Chainanysis says that my bitcoins are illegal. I am confused.
What if I want to absolutely consciously donate my money to scammers? It is not illegal to send transactions whoever I want, right?. Is it also considered illegal? Why chainalysis should have an ability to censor and judge my decisions? I didn't vote for them and consider
their activities illegal and amoral, they violate my human rights.
