Although, there are so many factors facilitating the increase in the rate of crime in our society but if we critically deepdown on the root of incessant increase of crime and other criminal activities in our society today it will be so notable that poverty and unemployment especially among the youth are the major anchor to the increase in crime and criminal activities in the society. I think if there is adequate sentization of Bitcoin in our society it will help in the reduction of crime because many people that are involve in some fraudulent activities today would venture into Bitcoin and be making a reasoning resource from Bitcoin if really inconcated with the actually knowledge and information to be successful in the system.
I think we need to know what kind of crime you talking about, like weather na cyber crime you de talk about Abi na normal theft crimes for our society. If na cyber crime I go say YES bitcoin have really reduced the rate of cybercrime for Naija. Most boys wey de into yahoo left yahoo because of one reason or the other( involvement of juju, needing to buy expensive tool e.t.c) and are into bitcoin investment today. But in na for theft crimes I no sure say e reduce that one because I can say for sure that the rate of theft in every community in Nigeria today is on increase.
But I will still advise anyone who is think of going into bitcoin investment or any other alt coin, know that it not a get rich fast kinda scheme, it’s something that need your patience and research so you don’t panic when the market is not going the way you want. So make a lot of research, ask questions where you seems lost or confused before investing.
