I might well think that crypto currencies are total nonsense but I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
I would guess that buying illegal stuff on the dark net is one common usage, and also computer hijackers are demanding bitcoins. .....
While I think that many of us would suspect similar to you, the simple fact is that we do not have the slightest idea...
By their nature, illegal activities cannot be accurately counted or monitored, so for all we know there may be little or no illegal activity in relation to Bitcoin, and most of what we hear or suspect is no more than malicious rumours being circulated by those opposed to Bitcoin (note: I am not saying this is the case btw)
It is already proven that it is not the case that there is no illegal activity in relation to Bitcoin as the US seized a substantial sum alone in one go ...
...so Google yourself:
Does anyone, not just aam posters, anyone anywhere, use bitcoin to make payments for goods and services, at present. I suspect not.
I bet you these criminals used the internet to commit those frauds .
Here we see a reason why its a bad idea to use bitcoin for criminal activities. Transactions are public. One mistake and its all traced back to you. You don't know whos watching.
