The transparency of Bitcoin

From time to time, some voices within the financial market would rise up to criticize Bitcoin. Accusing the criptomoneda serve as a means for the legitimization of capital on the part of criminals. Those who would take advantage of the privacy offered by the Blockchain of BTC, to send money, proceeds of their illegal activities across the borders.

The indictment of Tyler Winklevoss

Of course, this does not mean that the Blockchain of Bitcoin-exempt criminal activities. Therefore, it is always possible the use of any financial network international for illicit purposes. However, compared with other mechanisms for sending money across borders, what is certain is that Bitcoin has a low percentage of use by criminals of any type. And the best example of this is the denunciation of the double standards of Goldman Sachs which makes Tyler Winklevoss. Therefore, the co-founder of Gemini would have commented through his Twitter account that, while Goldman Sachs accused Bitcoin of being a mechanism for the sending of money by criminals. The organization itself legitimated capital in 2012-2013, more than double the figure of the accusing Bitcoin. “Goldman Sachs: In 2019, 2.800 million dollars in Bitcoin were sent to exchanges of cryptocurrencies by criminal entities. Fun fact: Goldman Sachs facilitated 6,000 million of dollars in money laundering through the scandal of 1MDB between 2012-13 what Double standards?“.
