People Say BitCoin Is Used For Black Market Type Stuff.

I say so is cash and gold. As a matter of fact Cash and gold have been used to cause more harm for thousands of years, all the way back to the beginning of civilization.

Yes, cash and gold has been used to black mail, extort, kill and cheat people long before the the first electron produced the first proton that came out of a light bulb before our great great grandparents were born. Currency has also lifted people up and brought peace and stability. Let the people control and decide. We've had enough of being told how it's used.

The truth is... Governments and banks are terrified of BlockChain Tech because the current powers can't control it so it must be evil right?

Everyone reading this will at some point be using BlockChain technology. ALL OF YOU or your kids or their kids will relish in it and the freedom it can provide

Sort:  

More crimes have been committed with the us dollar then all other currencies combined.

I would expect so. Simply because they have so much currency. After the US dollar must come gold then people.

Currency isn't the enemy, how it's used is.

This is always my question in response to the statement the crypto currencies are used for drug running and illegal purposes -

So, up until about 8 years ago when Bitcoin arrived on the scene, how was all the drug running paid for? How was terrorism funded?

Perhaps we should be looking at shutting down those avenues of funding before worrying about a new one that might be misused for such purposes?

I'm sure it is. I read a book about the history a bit. one section talked about the dark web.

Yea thats true...

this couldnt be more true man...

there will always be a double edged sword with everything ..life is all about balance, whether we like it or not.

but the blockchain is definitely the future.. we must embrace this all now.

embrace it they shall

Governments are afaid of everything they can't control, so it must be evil.

If Amazon is considered a Black Market then yeah it is for the Black Market :-/

fiat = criminal currency

The number one drug money launderers in the world are large banks in The US. They have been fined multiple times for just such.

I feel the biggest fault in people's brains about drug trafficking is scale.
It is because people watch shows (starting with Miami Vice) where the drugs are a few suitcases.

The reality is tractor trailer loads.
C-130s flying in weekly with full loads.

We are talking so much money that $1s are left to rot in piles.

And the only group big enough to handle money laundering at that scale is the too big to fail banks.

There isn't enough bitcoin being traded yet to put up with the drug trade.

Seriously right. Cash is king killer and harbinger of corruption.

You said it so well.

A 2009 CNN report showed that 90% of US currency contained traces of cocaine. The US Dollar has killed more people than anything else through currency wars, and the oppression of the Petro Dollar.

I remember reading something about that. The Twenties mostly. Craziness.
