You will recall that so many countries choose to ban cryptocurrency most especially bitcoin due to the fact that it is used for scandalous activities. Some terrorist group also use cryptocurrency to receive funds from external sources which is why the government are sceptical about it.

It is very correct that bitcoin is used for illegal activities and that is why people are sceptical about its adoption.

Well I can not despise such a claim as if the government says such a thing does happen then you all should know that they have a great Intel on it and to why they made such a claim that it is being used for such activities. The thing and reason why it is being used is the fact that it cannot be monitored by the government and again those sending Bitcoin to aid terrorists will not and can not be known by the government also.

When it comes to funding illegal activities, even fiat currencies are used. So, it is not just bitcoins, all sorts of money are used for illegal activities.

Anything annoymus is used for illegal activites. Even some legal stuff can be used to like delivery service. When control start open package, there was a lot of drugs but everything was legal. Apps which don't share data with 3rd party service are often used for illegal activities.

Yes, Bitcoin is used for illegal activities in many ways. However, Bitcoin transactions could still be traced in an efficient manner, even though it is quite difficult to do so.
